	25	★★ V	Sport 17m, 8	Mount Wellington	★★★ Classic	Alex Hartshorne	Sun 27th Dec 2015
Still 25, possibly soft if tall. Climbed again the other day with a shorter climber too. Unchanged as far as I could tell.

	25	★★ V	Sport 17m, 8	Mount Wellington	★★ Very Good	Scott Roberts	Wed 10th Feb 2021
Personally both this and pleasant screams pitch 1 both took me 3 goes to send, and I think they are of a similar grade at somewhere between soft and normal for the grade.

	25	★★ V - with Ryder Jamson	Sport 17m, 8	Mount Wellington		Tomfoolery	Sat 16th Jul 2022
A tad spoogey but I was so worked by the time i got on it that I had no chance. A style of climbing i'd like to improve on. Felt harder than any 25 I've ever tried.

Couldn't do the thin moves up the lower wall.

	23	★★ Garry's MIxed Route - with Roger	Mixed trad 40m, 9	Mount Wellington	★ Good	o_g	Wed 7th Jan 2015
Brand newie. Still has a few loose flakes, but will "clean up with traffic". Roger did his bit towards cleaning the route by pulling of a flake, he took a whip, I managed to run far enough to avoid the flake that landed right where I had been belaying. Close! The initial trad chimney corner was horrible, but the bolted wall above was excellent, with devious route finding moving left and right following the holds between a series of fused corners. Pumped out up high.
	23	★★ Peregrine	Sport 48m	Mount Wellington	★★★ Classic	Kevin J	Fri 8th Jan 2016
The first pitch is nothing special. The 2nd pitch is where the amazing climbing is

	23	★★ Peregrine	Sport 48m	Mount Wellington	★★ Very Good	Alex Hartshorne	Sun 27th Dec 2015
OS ages ago. Still managed to fall off it the other day tho. Thin!
	23	★★ Oopsy Daisy	Mixed trad 40m, 9	Mount Wellington	★★ Very Good	Alex Hartshorne	Wed 27th Dec 2017
Gear in. Cool and weird.

Climbed the wrong route, went back down
	23	★★ Peregrine 1 20 48m 2 23	Sport 48m	Mount Wellington	★★★ Classic	Ian.Grabowski	Sat 11th Jan 2020
Fell at 2nd crux on 2nd pitch. Silly fall ...climbed straight through from there no problem.
	23	★★ Clown Face - with Malta Mic	Sport 20m, 9	Mount Wellington	★★ Very Good	Chris L	Fri 20th Nov 2020
Cruxy
	23	★★ Peregrine 1 20 2 23	Sport 48m	Mount Wellington	★★ Very Good	Scott Roberts	Sun 7th Feb 2021
2nd pitch is the money pitch.
	23	★★ Peregrine - with Martin Brown 1 20 48m lead by Cameron Semple 2 23	Sport 48m	Mount Wellington	★★ Very Good	Cameron Semple	Sun 12th Dec 2021
Just the first pitch. Really good. Used a black totem up the top.

thought it was quite hard for the grade logging a fair bit of air time on this one, but after seeing will do the crux and got it the next go : )
	20	★★ Peregrine P1 - with Stella 1 20 Sport	Sport 48m	Mount Wellington		Tiburonny	Thu 12th Jan 2023
	23	★★ Peregrine — 2 attempts 1 21 25 Second Rock quality was not inspiring. A finger sized cam at the top would prevent a ledge fall 2 23 20 Sport Finger size cam at start would be useful. Onsighted all the moves but could not get the 8 th draw on, spent about a minute of increasing pump. The thread sticks out 2cm blocking the small hanger. Was level with it, and of course could have moved to the other side of the arete, but I was feeling out there already. Did it second go.	Sport 45m	Mount Wellington		Vanessa Wills	Fri 27th Jan 2023

Started raining so just did the first pitch.
	23	★★ Peregrine P1 1 Sport Just did the first pitch today, pretty sure I had a major epic on this years ago… went pleasantly well today so that’s nice	Sport 48m	Mount Wellington		PaolotheSasquatch	Sun 18th Feb 2024

	23	★★ Peregrine	Sport 48m	Mount Wellington		Kat Liss	Sat 27th Apr 2024
Immobilised with fear after a month off climbing so seconded the route instead and had a great time
	23	★★ Peregrine - with Kat Liss	Sport 48m	Mount Wellington	★★★ Classic	PaolotheSasquatch	Sat 27th Apr 2024
Wasn’t feeling overly strong today after a couple rest days. Ended up having 3 burns on the second pitch, worked it all out and was cruising but rushed my sequence in the crux and fell off, super classic route such wicked movement and flow 🌈⚡️

	20	★★ Starship Trooper (Starship Trooper P1) - with Seb Oliver 1 20 linkup Space Cowboy , lead by Me	Trad 74m	Mount Wellington	★★★ Classic	Chris L	Sat 4th Feb 2017
Really great first pitch; have heard the second pitch is ordinary... but moved onto Space Cowboy before that
	22	★ Cognitive Dissonance - with Seb Oliver	Sport 28m, 12	Mount Wellington	★ Good	Chris L	Sat 4th Feb 2017
Did this in a funky way. Went to the left and stemmed a little between 2 & 3 - worked out later that direct is possible

	22	★★ Starship Trooper	Trad 74m	Mount Wellington		Sami	Fri 11th Jan 2019
Was not happy committing with the gear I had, so I down climbed. Think I will try some other routes before coming back to this.
	22	★ Cognitive Dissonance - with Johanna Hæstrup, mattL, Bree 1	Sport 28m, 12	Mount Wellington	★★ Very Good	Kim Walls	Sun 1st Dec 2019
Not sure if I went a little off route towards the top. I kinda climbed the left face which made things a bit awkward. Pretty cool arete climbing down lower. technical.
	22	★ Cognitive Dissonance	Sport 28m, 12	Mount Wellington		Oliver Bain	Thu 2nd Jan 2020
Had a go on top rope after climbing the Thesaurus, crux seems harder than 22
	22	★ Cognitive Dissonance	Sport 28m, 12	Mount Wellington	★ Good	Vanessa Wills	Tue 7th Jan 2020
For my height this was harder than after midnight etc. at the crux. The rest was quite sustained around grade 20 with good moves.
	22	★★ Starship Trooper - with Mac Labine-Romain	Trad 74m	Mount Wellington		Fraser	Tue 14th Jan 2020
Pitch 2 only stiff off the deck, took a whip or three and was sketched out by gear prospects but theres enough. Pretty awesome climbing. If you left some gear there hit me up so i can give it back
	22	★★ Starship Trooper - with Fraser	Trad 74m	Mount Wellington	★★★ Classic	Mac Labine-Romain	Tue 14th Jan 2020
P2 only - we rapped in from the top of battle cruiser. christened my doubles with their first lead fall! real nice face climbing
	22	★ Cognitive Dissonance - with JP	Sport 28m, 12	Mount Wellington	★ Good	Cam McKenzie	Tue 10th Mar 2020
Good climbing. Got to the roof and couldn't work out where it went. Does it go right into the groove on Thesaurus and then step back? Or direct over the roof? Ran out of fingertips.
	22	★★ Starship Trooper 1 20 28m 2 22 46m lead by Mitch Scanlan-Bloor	Trad 74m	Mount Wellington	★ Good	Mitch Scanlan-Bloor	Wed 13th Jan 2021
Did Battle Cruiser then P2 of this. Interesting techy climbing that shifts between a series of rounded parallel cracks. Fairly sustained from the ground, then eases off at about 2/3 height. Eats small cams!
	22	★★ Wedgetail - with Amelia Caddy	Sport 28m, 13	Mount Wellington	★★ Very Good	Chris L	Tue 19th Jan 2021
Good. Heading left through the crux is a touch contrived but much better climbing.
	22	★ Cognitive Dissonance - with javed	Sport 28m, 12	Mount Wellington	★ Good	Tomfoolery	Sat 23rd Jan 2021
	22	★★ Starship Trooper - with matt	Trad 74m	Mount Wellington	★★ Very Good	Tiburonny	Sat 1st May 2021
not easy to place confidence inspiring gear. Matt fortunately found adequate protection after I came back down
	22	★★ Wedgetail - with BC	Sport 28m, 13	Mount Wellington	★★ Very Good	Isabel Roper	Wed 15th Dec 2021
Have no idea if we climbed this as the bolts don't add up, we were on an 8 RB + DBB climb with two bolted climbs to the left and nothing else bolted on the right before the buttress turns a corner. Whatever we climbed was great, felt around the grade, and was balancy with tricky arete moves.

	22	★★ Wedgetail - with Stella	Sport 28m, 13	Mount Wellington	Average	Tiburonny	Fri 11th Mar 2022
sharp and shitty rock at the crux. The rest climbs actually niceish
	22	★★ Major Tom - with Martin Brown	Sport 28m	Mount Wellington	★ Good	Chris Speer	Sun 27th Mar 2022
I found this quite hard. The climbing is quite good. Will improve with some traffic.
	22	★ Cognitive Dissonance	Sport 28m, 12	Mount Wellington	★ Good	Scott Roberts	Sun 15th May 2022
easy once you get told the crux beta, top half kinda sucks, the bottom half is excellent however.

	22	★★ Starship Trooper - with Cameron Semple	Trad 74m	Mount Wellington		Martin Brown	Wed 11th Jan 2023
P1 only. Quite a bold pitch in the first half. Nice climbing.
	22	★ Five Easy Pieces - with Cameron Semple	Sport 15m, 6	Mount Wellington		Martin Brown	Wed 11th Jan 2023
Made a total mess of this route! Nice climbing up the face; a bit weird at the top. Probably more effort than it's worth for the amount of climbing.
	22	★ Five Easy Pieces - with Martin Brown	Sport 15m, 6	Mount Wellington	Average	Cameron Semple	Wed 11th Jan 2023
Sustained little number. Bit awkward. Did lots of tall person moves.
	22	★★ Starship Trooper P1 - with Martin Brown 1 Second lead by Martin Brown Interesting climbing. Bold start.	Trad 74m	Mount Wellington		Cameron Semple	Wed 11th Jan 2023
	22 Hard	★ Cognitive Dissonance	Sport 28m, 12	Mount Wellington		Fraser	Fri 13th Jan 2023
Likely a tad acary at the bottom if 22 is your grade, i fwlt a bit iffy about committing
	22	★ Pugnacious - with Stella	Trad	Mount Wellington	★ Good	Tiburonny	Thu 12th Jan 2023
pretty fiddly gear got my calves cramping. hard to tell the grade this way
	22 ~24	★ Cognitive Dissonance - with Megan Ellis	Sport 28m, 12	Mount Wellington	Don't Bother	Jordan Edwards	Mon 16th Jan 2023
This climb is like eating sand. I guess you could do it, but it wouldn't start or finish well.

Put up the draws in the drizzle. Just as I was about to go for a second attempt and it started raining. Thought top roping in the rain was more fun than leading on wet holds 😅
	22	★★ Wedgetail	Sport 28m, 13	Mount Wellington	★★ Very Good	Emdehn	Sat 20th Jan 2024
What a nice route! Trent put the draws up, fun top rope

fun, and some good fall practice. real minging crimpys, and then a sequency crux, that i stick clipped through, after a few falls. quite nice climbing, good sidepulls.
21 M1
	21 M1	★ Gladiator	Aid 35m	Mount Wellington	★ Good	Ben Armstrong	Mon 29th Oct 2018
Thesarvo suggests that it goes free at 21. Seems way harder then that though. Quite an aesthetic and sustained line.

great finish, pretty full on
	23 21	★★ Shrapnel	Sport 25m, 9	Mount Wellington	★★ Very Good	o_g	Sat 5th Mar 2011
Took a bail biner with me, but somehow clawed my way up. Felt solid actually. Perhaps only 22.
	23 21	★★ Shrapnel	Sport 25m, 9	Mount Wellington	★★ Very Good	o_g	Sat 31st Mar 2012
This is a sweet route. Only the first 8 metres of bridging up the right hand butress detracts.
	21	★★ Remembrance	Sport 45m, 20	Mount Wellington	★ Good	o_g	Fri 7th Dec 2012
Followed ben. Still a few loose flakes being pulled off. P1 is nothing special (easy to step left to rest in cr) P2 is great. Long technical arete.
	21	★★ Heat	Sport 100m, 35	Mount Wellington	★★★ Classic	topher	Sat 25th Jan 2014
Really good. Onsighted all pitches except for first, which was second go.
	21	★★ Remembrance	Sport 45m, 20	Mount Wellington	★★ Very Good	Peter	Tue 25th Nov 2014
P1 only. Really good climbing. Enjoyed for my first climb on the pipes. Amazing views!!!
	21	★★ Remembrance - with Jenna Brady	Sport 45m, 20	Mount Wellington	★★ Very Good	Jason McCarthy	Thu 12th Feb 2015
First pitch was OK. Badly placed bolts make clipping hard for shorties. 2nd pitch was full on, thin and balancy climbing and hard for the grade. Enjoyed this route. The rock is a bit poorer in quality compared to some of the other lines.

bailed at the sight of the scramble to the last pitch, no interest whatsoever in scrambling that far up the cliff, id rather not die just yet. rest of the route was just alright
