19 Bucking Fumblies (Bucking Fumblies Linkup Big Stone)
1 linkup Big Stone , lead by Sam Lancaster
3 19 15m linkup Big Stone
Sport 15m, 16 Buck Rock Good Thu 30th Jan 2020
Climbed Big Stone (lead 1st pitch, followed 2nd) then onsighted the last 19 pitch of this climb. Interesting climbing, I wonder how long the flake will last!!

19 Dirty Digits Sport 35m, 9 Sebastapol Bluffs Very Good Fri 12th Feb 2021
Quite good, easier than Seriass and less sustained. Rapped with a 70m and had 4-5m of rope left either end, so should be fine to rap with a true 60m rope. As in an earlier description can protect moves upto high first bolt with a nut (I did not).

 
19 Seriass Sport 35m, 10 Sebastapol Bluffs Classic Fri 12th Feb 2021
Very enjoyable, crimpy sustained climbing till it eases off. One particularly old rusty bolt felt a bit spicy. Stiff crux.

 
19 To the Max Sport 15m, 5 Ti Point Good Sat 16th Jan 2021
Some engaging bridging followed by some tricky moves on the face.

 
19 Survival of the Fittest - with Charlie Sport 40m, 14 Kawakawa Bay Very Good Sun 6th Jan 2019
Great balancy climb, a couple of healthy run outs. A few alpine draws were very useful to avoid rope drag!

Sport 50m, 15 Buck Rock Very Good Thu 17th Dec 2020
Very enjoyable, nice edgy climbing with some great holds and good rest spots along the way. Some heady runouts, good mental test. Counted 7-8 bolts for the top pitch (not 5 as it says on freeclimb guide). Top pitch isn't near as good but still nice to get higher.

First pitch is about 30m but I think the second pitch is closer to 20m?

 
19 Au Revoir Sport 25m, 6 Buck Rock Very Good Sat 23rd Jan 2021
Quite good, some nice moves, bit pumpy for my warm up. Solid 19?

 
19 Blood Sweat and Sunblock Sport 10m, 4 Maungarei Springs Good Sun 10th Mar 2019
Some tricky but fun moves uptop!

 
19 Rock Climb This You Bastards Sport 12m, 6 Maungarei Springs Good Thu 7th Nov 2019
I think I went a bit off route to the right below the 3rd bolt using some of the chossy, loose rock. Judging by the chalk it looks like a few people do that. Will have to climb again properly. Be careful of the loose rocks on the right. There is a bit of gorse growth at the top section.

 
19 Sweet Dreams Sport 16m, 5 Kawakawa Bay Good Fri 27th Dec 2019
Pleasant climbing on good holds.

 
19 Level Three Sport 11m, 5 Maungarei Springs Average Thu 14th Jan 2021
Might be worth a star when its cleaned up but bottom half is rather chossy atm. Rock and moves improve in quality as you get higher. Anchor set up is a bit weird?

Sport 85m Kawakawa Bay Very Good Thu 2nd Jan 2020
Nice climbing upto fantastic views over the bay. I onsighted the 2nd and 3rd pitch (linked nicely with some long sport draws and alpine draws). The 1st and 3rd pitch cruxes were particularly fun, exiting the chimney and pulling the roof feels pretty cool. The 4th crux is quite balancy. There's still some decent loose rock around so be wary of that.

 
19 Awatiro Arete Sport 12m, 3 Frog Pond Very Good Sun 19th Feb 2023
Pleasant.

 
19 Mountain Mantle Sport 15m, 7 Whakapapa Gorge Very Good Fri 15th Apr 2022
19 Short Mans Shackles Sport 25m, 7 Kinloch Very Good Sat 7th Nov 2020
Awesome climb, some great moves, bit heady. Lead it clean on draws that were left up. Wasted energy going up direct to first bolt (fun start though). Solid for the grade.

 
19 Pining Away Sport 25m Waipapa Good Sat 18th Jan 2020
19 Drink Like A Lady (LeD) Sport 12m, 5 Kawakawa Bay Good Thu 2nd Jan 2020
19 20 Two Tools, One Tool, No Tools Sport 11m, 6 Maungarei Springs Good Thu 14th Jan 2021
Repeat. First half of the climb is nice. Think its a solid 19 not a 20.

 
19 C.J.D Arete Sport 20m, 5 Ti Point Very Good Sun 26th Nov 2023
Repeat

Sport 55m, 24 Kawakawa Bay Classic Sat 5th Jan 2019
Traversed over from pitch 1 anchors of Psychedelic Freeway to pitch 1 anchors after I decided the super airy 2nd mixed pitch was too much for me after climbing past the two bolts and placing a cam.. another time! Pitch 2 and 3 climbed in the dark with headtorches - awesome experience!

 
19 Dirty Dancing Sport 15m, 6 Kawakawa Bay Very Good Sat 22nd Oct 2022
Repeat. Pleasant pulling.

 
19 Anthrow 101 Sport 10m, 4 Kawakawa Bay Good Mon 19th Oct 2020
Took a while to figure out the tricky moves, didn't help that it was damp as it was drizzling on and off as we climbed.

 
19 Sacred Forest Sport Paynes Ford Good Wed 15th Feb 2017
19 Kindergarden Kop Sport 12m, 7 Waipapa Average Sat 6th Apr 2019
Quite a difficult scary feeling mantle, took a few attempts to get that. No falls but a rest below the mantle. Maybe more of an 18, though that mantle is quite difficult

 
19 Bring Back Buck Sport 45m, 14 Buck Rock Good Thu 30th Jan 2020
Seconded clean with Shaun and Shannon leading. Found the 2nd pitch harder and pumpy but I think I made it harder then it can be climbed, better more on the arete than bridging so much? At the time was confused and thought this climb was JAFA cake but this makes much more sense now..

Sport 55m, 13 Kawakawa Bay Sat 26th Oct 2019
Linked up with the 2nd pitch, which Raf lead, from Thors little brother. Nice technical climb, must come back and lead sometime.

Sport 61m, 17 Kawakawa Bay Very Good Sun 1st Jan 2017
One sizeable fall at 3rd bolt first pitch, 2nd and 3rd pitches clean.

 
19 School Bus Route Sport 35m, 8 Sheridan Hills Classic Sat 18th Nov 2017
Awesome climb! Sustained and some pretty reachy moves. Feels under graded/ much harder than pigs in space.

 
19 Polly Prissy Pants - with Charlie Sport 5 Mangaokewa Very Good Sun 24th Feb 2019
Was going pretty good till I peeled off, falling just below the anchor (crux). Quite tough last few moves. Nice balancy climbing, crimpy holds and some quite slopey feet to keep things interesting. Was quite dirty so gave some of the holds a decent brush, needs more frequent traffic and it deserves it!! Anchor hangers are quite rusty.

 
19 The Old Bastard Sport 15m, 4 Sebastapol Bluffs Good Sun 26th Feb 2017
19 Dessicator Sport 10m, 4 Pakeho Good Sat 8th Jan 2022
Pays to read the description of this one or you'll feel like you are too far off route.. Couldn't remember and tried going straight up (substantially harder), much easier when going right out left. Still probably solid for the grade. Next time.. Average anchor set up, watch how the lowering biner is sitting on the two cables.

 
19 Pinch and a Punch Sport 20m, 7 Kawakawa Bay Very Good Sat 22nd Feb 2020
Another dog.. at least this one I was climbing better. Had one fall at the 2nd to last bolt argh, shouldn't have fallen! Sustained for sure but mostly sweet holds.

 
19 Don’t Be A Prick, Clean Your Tick Sport 20m, 4 Kawakawa Bay Good Mon 30th Dec 2019
Pumped out near the top and fell. Good climbing.

 
19 19/20 Devil of Delhi Sport 20m, 6 Ti Point Good Thu 21st Nov 2019
Fall onto the 1st bolt and the 4th. Kinda tricky climbing but nice. Variation with some jams to start, some jugs, some sloppers, and some smaller holds. I had a nasty fall on the 4th bolt where I was a bit negligent with where the rope was and consequently when I peeled off got flipped upside down with the rope wrapped around my lower leg.. yay for solid bruising and a sore leg! That was the days climbing cut short. I will be back!
