Whiskey Delta Area Guide

Between two chimneys is a slabby wall. There are a lot of large pohutukawas at the top of this part of the cliff and this route is below the eastern most tree.

Climb easily past the first bolt to the ledge. Move right past the second bolt and up the outside of the chimney, past the third bolt and up into the wide crack.

The bolts then continue up the left face to the new rams horns anchors.

Start at the lowest point of the chimney and climb easy ground into the chimney proper. Up the chimney to easy ledges, then the rib above.

Shares ram's horns anchors with 'Slap and Tickle'.

Climb the crux of ‘The Troll’ then head out left after the second bolt.

Start up the thin crack, pulling onto the face with some big moves to the break at about half height. Move right at the top to join the anchors of 'J P Superdog'. Originally a bold undertaking protected with traditional gear. A seldom, if ever repeated feat.

A broken hand crack on the left of a slabby wall. Climb past a small tree up to a large one and double Ram's horns belay.

A slabby wall with Titanium Rams Horns for belay, behind the large block and finishing at the same pohutukawa as ‘Slap and Tickle’.

The chimney finishing at a large tree.

Four bolts and tree belay. Follow the two almost horizontal bolts traversing right until reaching the arête and finishing as for ‘The Appendix’ past the third and fourth bolt. Graeme Dingle, Brandon Daniell and Andrew Batten, 2004

On the large block - juggy and steep.

To the right of 'Birds Can’t Fly on One Wing' climb the obvious line up the centre of the block.

Climb the arête and up over the bulge, 4 bolts and tree belay. The crux is well protected and a hidden jug will prove to be your salvation.

Ram's horns have been added. There is also a chain around the tree.

Climb the slabby wall to the ledge at the base of overhanging section placing a wire or cam on the way or clip the first bolt of ‘The Appendix’. From the ledge clip the bolt on the headwall then move up past this to clip the last bolt on ‘The Appendix’.

A right side variation involves climbing the face directly to the single bolt on the steep bulge. Stay right on the bulge using a sketchy heel hook to gain better holds. Press out mantle to finish. This variation is called "Toxoplasmosis" by Marco Lefebvre.

The short corner just before the grassy bank, there is a chain link hanger on the left face at about half height. Climb the crack or face on the left until the chockstone, over and then the left face or squeeze up the crack.

Right of ‘The Appendix’ is a steep wall with two bolts. Start on the right side of the wall and climb past the first two bolts to a ledge and a third bolt. Climb over the bulge to belay on the pohutukawa.

The short crack facing the sea, Crux is the second section of the crack proper, tree belay back from the top.

To the right of the hand crack, at the foot of the first crack is a large sharp rock from which the first bolt can be clipped. Climb out of the overhang to the second bolt and belay off the pohutakawa tree above.

The leaning chimney crack in the middle of the buttress. Tree belay.

The slightly over hanging wall with three bolts. There is only one hard move, just above the second bolt. Double bolt belay with rams horns.
