19 | ★ Potem Tole - with Dave | 50m | Mount Wellington | Average | Tue 6th Nov 2012 | |||
Wet and cold. Good training for Patagonia?

18 | ★★ Sandy Bay Road | 35m | Mount Wellington | Don't Bother | Fri 3rd Jan 2014 | |||
Some people like wide cracks. I don't.

20 | ★★★ Sky Rocket | 60m | Mount Wellington | ★★★ Classic | Fri 3rd Jan 2014 | |||
Second pitch. Almost made up for sandy bay rd.

21 | ★★★ Holiday in Cambodia | 35m | Mount Wellington | ★★★ Classic | Tue 1st Jan 2019 | |||
Not a bad route to start the year on. Crack gloves rule. It all felt quite crux to me with the odd calf pumping rest
|

21 | ★★★ Tartarus | 60m | Mount Wellington | ★★★ Classic | Sat 22nd Feb 2020 | |||
The V groove of the second pitch is definitely the crux. Though the reach at the final roof on pitch one was also tricky. Other hard bits succumb nicely to technical tricks

23 | ★★★ Ultrasound | 35m | Mount Wellington | ★★ Very Good | Mon 30th Jan 2023 | |||
I had to divert back into holiday after falling off the thin finger crux to make upward progress then moved right again. The stalactite feature was amazing but vibrates.

20 | ★★★ Icarus | 120m | Mount Wellington | ★★★ Classic | Tue 31st Jan 2023 | |||
Did the last 2 pitches in 3. Stopping at the notch seemed sensible. I led the last bit only which was not bad, but the crack below was good, though the chimney exit felt hard

17 | ★ Datsun Sunny | 14m, 8 | Mount Wellington | Crap | Wed 8th Feb 2023 | |||
Even weirder bolt placement. Perhaps an early attempt at the dark art? Maybe I was just grumpy because it was freezing and climbing in mist and there didn’t seem any point getting on the better routes up here

16 | Ford Prefect | 12m, 6 | Mount Wellington | Don't Bother | Wed 8th Feb 2023 | |||
A plus for bolt camouflage but minus a couple of stars for contrivance and bolt placement.
|

24 | ★★★ In Flagrante Delicto - with Dave | 50m | Mount Wellington | ★★★ Classic | Tue 6th Nov 2012 | |||
Next time- longsling on bolt above crux (or small wire)and do as 2 pitches. Should have read guide book description first that gives away crux moves.

24 | ★★★ In Flagrante Delicto | 50m | Mount Wellington | ★★★ Classic | Sun 23rd Nov 2014 | |||
Felt harder than neon god, though climbing inside a cloud with condensation on everything didn't help. Did top pitch clean. Bottom still have trouble on crux
|

24 | ★★★ In Flagrante Delicto | 50m | Mount Wellington | ★★★ Classic | Sun 4th Apr 2021 | |||
I really need to try this more than once every 5 years. By the time I have relearned a short persons crux ( about 3 moves higher than Dave and a sideways Dyno) to arete, my fingers are too sore to try again
