	13	★ Bonga - with ThorAss	Trad 15m	★ Good	Robert Lord
On the way up a couple of dodgy looking rocks, one slab looks like it's about to peel off - it won't, another you might put your foot on top and it moves. Exciting climb for newbie trad lead. Bring slings.
	14	★ Flying Buttress - with ThorAss	Trad 35m	★ Good	Robert Lord
	14	★★ Welcome To The Jungle - with Jaz	Trad 20m	★★ Very Good	ThorAss
Nice little climb but ignore the belay and descent description. Just belay at the large obvious tree at the top of the Ongas. Abseil off tree. Or if that's not your style, just hop over the block beyond and traverse easily to the left along the vegetated ledge until a short easy downclimb puts you back on the ground.

	23	★ Boschanova - with Alex Popinga	Sport 15m, 5	★★★ Classic	Alexei Drummond
Awesome thin and technical route. Tiny feet at the crux. Lots of small, fun crimps and movement. A bit run out at top but holds get better. Using non-white chalk made it more challenging
	18	★ Empty Pockets - with Alex Popinga	Sport 15m, 4	★ Good	Alexei Drummond
Lovely face climbing but no anchor. Would be a really nice sport route with one more bolt and an anchor.

	22	★★ Silvertop - with Alex Popinga	Sport 20m, 6	★★★ Classic	Alexei Drummond
Very cool climb with great movement the whole way. A bit run out to the anchors but in much easier terrain. So stoked to onsight this route as there were a three distinct cruxes of very different character.
