Suits my style but probably still a touch soft.

Probably super soft but I’ll take it in my current form.

At most a soft 23 given the good rests throughout, even though it suits my style. Great line either way.

Balancy cruxes at the 3rd and 5th bolts. 3rd bolt is in a very poor state, with the bolt moving inside the bolt hole. Probably needs replacing as simply tightening the hanger won’t cut it. Average middle section where it’s not too clear where the line goes. Fun climb otherwise.

Thought I was on the 21. Feels about 21 or soft 22.

Got it #2ndGo but had the top bit dialed from having worked on ´Lock ´n’ Load’ recently. Similar difficulty to LnL, perhaps easier even.

Would be more enjoyable if it had its own anchor. Extended bolts 3, 4 & 5 for a much nicer experience.

Flash/onsight. Had to fight for it. Might be worth 2 stars when clean.

Hidden gem

Crap first half on complete choss, 3-star second half. Clear crux at 5th bolt on smaller crimps, then power endurance finish on good holds.

1st go today, #4thGo overall. Probably on the softer side of the grade, even though it suits my style of climbing. For my height anyway... Great movement and well bolted. Highly recommended, especially for climbers looking to break that grade barrier at TP as more accessible than Giarda and Strong Men, IMO.

Loses its third star due to the wandery nature of the climbing. A great route nonetheless. Was touch and go in several sections; haven’t tried this hard for a send in a while.

Smooth send first go today with fresh arms. Amazing route that flows super nicely. My favorite at the grade in the Hills.

2nd tie-in today, 5th overall. Remembered most of the beta from the last session which greatly helped bag a quick send today.

Cool little V3/V4 boulder problem. Big cleaning job, could still use a bit more love. Worth doing. Probably a touch soft but also really suits my style. #2ndGo

Pretty cruisy up to a tricky crux around the penultimate bolt.

Power endurance pump fest, no hard moves though. Ended up stick cliping the first bolt (definately recommended) and took the coward's exit at the very top 🤷🏻‍♂️

At most a soft 22? Amazing climb though, maybe my favorite in the Port Hills so far!

V3/V4 boulder problem for my height so max 24 in my book. I can see taller climbers possibly struggling on it more though. Similar to Compression Test but slightly easier. Cruisy #2ndGo.

Feels impossible until you find the micro beta for the feet. Waipapa-style, open book stemming test piece. Great movement and bolting. Suits my style. #3rdGo

Balancy crux just after the 3rd bolt. Not a bad route but plenty of better climbs around.

Unexpectedly got it #2ndGo although I had to fight for it. Took me a while to figure out a viable sequence and which crimps are good enough to pull on. Crux at 2nd bolt, the rest is OK if you like small crimps. Great climb, worth coming to this small crag for I reckon.

Awesome climb. Clear crux at the 4th bolt. The rest is pretty cruisy once you know where to go. Extending the 4th clip helped. Got it #5thGo.

Maybe a solid 24 with the beta fully dialed? Wouldn't be a pushover at that grade though, especially if you're going for the onsite. 4 attempts over 2 sessions.

Sunset send! Connies really helped as the start moves felt much harder minutes earlier in the full sun. This one climbs better than it looks... Bouldery start then enjoyable, balancy climbing the rest of the way up. Eliminated the holds left of the thin crack low down and went up to the pinch instead. #2ndGo

Amazing route. Should be on everyone’s radar as a benchmark for that grade.

Repeat

Really nice climb, quite technical. A bit of cleaning on the way down.

Only one short sequence of 22ish climbing so this one is probably on the softer side of the grade…

Repeat

Feels about V3/V4 so maybe 23/24?

Probaby a touch soft, the way I climbed it anyway. It does suit my style though. The climb is somewhat let down by the intial moves to get established onto the arete, on subpar rock. The rest is really good. Draws on but placed the gear, not that it makes any difference.

Should have onsighted this, a bit annoyed with myself. Went down easily #2ndGo.

V4ish boulder problem down low into enjoyable 19ish climbing to the top. Feels about 23ish? Doesn’t look like much from the ground but worth doing, actually.

Smooth send first go today, gear on. Almost classic.

Surprisingly bouldery for the area; nice respite from the more endurance climbs around.

Cruxy getting over the bulge down low, then goey to the top.
