Made some moves up to 2nd bold, but I do not comprehend how to get to the good left hand above bolt 2 - something to come back to!

Welcome Wall
	19	★★★ Ventura Highway - with Kiera Montgomery	Sport 85m	★★★ Classic	Toby Jackson
Super fun, and nice to do it quickly. A brief moment of insanity had me come off my ATC before clipping in to safety when abseiling, hopefully not something I'll repeat again. Kiera had a nice strong WTF reaction which subsequently lead me to safety.

	27	★★ Gagarin — 2 attempts - with Jess Cotton	Sport 20m, 6	★★ Very Good	Kyle Johnson
Managed all the moves today, first move of crux feels harder than last time I tried it. Think a bit of the left hand hold has come away. Still pleased with the progress. Need good skin for it as the holds are so sharp!!

Not a great warm up when it's raining... couldn't feel the pockets I was in because of cold hands and fell off the start. Needs a good clean at the top, super mossy

Leech Wall
	28	★ Intifada — 3 attempts	Sport 6	★ Good	David Jefferson
Played around with several different ways of doing the crux, but all feel equally hard for me. Couldn’t actually connect the move today. Would love a beta lifeline for this one!
	21	Spanish Johnny	Sport	Average	David Jefferson
Would rate this route as “don’t bother” if it weren’t for the upper headwall section, which is almost decent.

Waterfall Area
	17 M3	★ No name - with Jacob Kuchler, Jono Clarke	Sport 30m, 10	★ Good	Aidan Sarginson
A fun way to end the trip. Second half felt harder due to the slopers, which make finding hooks a challenged. Mixed climbed it
Sun 2nd Jun 2024 - Tukino
Margarets Leap
	M3	★ Woke Sushi - with Jacob Kuchler, Jono Clarke	Ice 13m	★ Good	Aidan Sarginson
Might have got the first ascent of this? Would need to double check. Was a bit spooky without much gear

	14	★★ Thunder God P2 - with Kiera Montgomery 2 14 Second	Trad 52m	★★ Very Good	Toby Jackson
Accessed via rapping from Jugzilla, I have no regrets and it was fun! If a bit dirty. Plenty of foliage thriving in the crack.
	19	★★ Jugzilla - with Kiera Montgomery	Sport 42m, 13	★★ Very Good	Toby Jackson
The start was dusty and I hated it, the rest of it was great, offering wonderful access to the second pitch of Thundergod as well.

Animal Biscuit Valley The Bits and Opel
	23	★★ Opel - with Ryan Yang	Sport 8m, 3	★★ Very Good	Alexei Drummond
Red point, second tie-in. Such a nice bit of bouldering on a rope! Glad we checked it out. #2ndGo
	23	★★ Opel - with Ryan Yang	Sport 8m, 3	★★ Very Good	Alexei Drummond
Flash attempt. Thought I had gotten through the first crux but let my guard down standing up after having done the hard moves and fell. I tried the start again but then hung at the second bolt. Then worked out the moves to the top.
Sun 2nd Jun 2024 - Waipari
Animal Biscuit Valley Bring Your Daughter Wall
	23	★★ The Wrath of God - with Ryan Yang	Sport 25m, 7	★★ Very Good	Alexei Drummond
Not the best idea trying to flash this for the warm-up. Fell in the crux around 4th bolt. Then pulled on and went to the top.

Have done before. I like the style of the bottom section.
	27 ~26	★★ Moana Magic	Sport 25m, 10	★ Good	Gomez Garcia Gonzalez
Both cruxes are fun. Easier than Lollapalooza for me, seems most people find Lola easier than me though. Hard to believe there is a two grade difference. EwBMI is 675.
Sun 2nd Jun 2024 - Wharewerawera / Long Beach
Avian Wall
	17 Hard	Seacliff	Sport 25m, 9	Average	Joseph Curtis
Bit of an uneven climb. Some loose rock near the left hand side of the higher bolts before the right hand turn
Sun 2nd Jun 2024 - Wharewerawera / Long Beach
The Caves
	15 ~17	The Leveller	Sport 10m, 3	Don't Bother	Joseph Curtis

	24	★★ Class Action — 2 attempts - with Richard Flinn	Mixed trad 35m, 10	★★ Very Good	Robin Wareing
Really fun with varied and interesting climbing. Unfortunately it's let down a little by the loose blocks and associated gear placements between 8th and 9th bolts.
