Ascents in Tāmaki-makau-rau / Auckland by Sam Lancaster

Repeat, easier than The Angel of Calcutta IMO.

Great climb, repeat

There is a swallows nest halfway? up on the right (perhaps off route, I didn't go there).

Repeat, pleasant climbing

Very nice climb! Stoked to get it first try today, flowed much smoother than my last attempt.

Repeat, went easier way for warm up.

Brilliant climb, great balancy moves. Would have given it another burn but got rained out!

Repeat, soft

Would have been good when this was rebolted to have more than 1 bolt for new lead climbers..

Repeat

Repeat, great climb

Repeat, soft for the grade

Repeat, nice climb

Repeat

Repeat, fun moves around the fang. Bit soft for the grade?

Terrible rock quality, at least a couple of decent sized suspect blocks, do not recommend. Think I climbed this a while back but do not remember the rock being quite so shit.

Repeat to clean TR anchor.

Quite good. Don't fall clipping the 3rd bolt, easier ground but could be a high consequence fall.

Repeat

Repeat. Good fun.

Fun route, felt pretty cruxy for my lockdown muscles haha!

Repeat to clean top rope. Quite pleasant climbing, fun juggy top out to anchor.

Repeat.

Tricky crux for the grade.

Last climb of the day, had one go with the throw fell and gave up for the day.

Quite short, not 15m at all.

Quite surprised to onsight this, probably about 21 cause of my height. Pretty physical going up from the ledge, my height / reach was definitely advantageous.

Repeat to clean top rope anchor. Much more enjoyable in rock shoes rather than approach shoes haha, stiff for the grade.

Quite enjoyable climbing. Bit of a sandbag imo especially if short for the start.

Was going alright till my foot slipt before the mantle. Got the top half clean after the fall. Lots of insecure feeling smeary feet and enjoyable technical moves. Perhaps my favourite Ti point sport climb to date? I'll be back to work on the red point.

Some engaging bridging followed by some tricky moves on the face.

Might be worth a star when its cleaned up but bottom half is rather chossy atm. Rock and moves improve in quality as you get higher. Anchor set up is a bit weird?

First time trying this route, pretty tricky. Several falls and rests working out sequences. Maybe 23 idk?

Repeat. Nice warm up.

Repeat. First half of the climb is nice. Think its a solid 19 not a 20.

Pleasant climbing with some slopey holds, be careful at the bottom runout- easy ground but you wouldn't want to fall.

Had a fall on the first go.. (went the wrong way I think) fun warm up. Clean 2nd go.

Repeat.

Some how managed to Z clip the first two bolts (so close together) so wasted energy there. Had a good fight getting to the 3rd bolt clipped and trying to pull the crux but peeled off. Keen to have another burn on it.

Last climb of day in the fadding light. Love this climb, one of my fav sport routes here.

Enjoyed it so much the first time I had to repeat and get the red point! Fun moves, maybe 19? Felt quite a bit easier this time round, flowed better and wasn't near as awkward clipping the 2nd bolt.

A nice route! Some cool balancy moves, awkward 2nd clip. Took a few attempts getting from 1st to 2nd bolt, got the moves dialed then lowered and pink pointed.

Repeat.

Narrowly missed the redpoint on my previous attempt (fell at the anchors..) but this time I got it (4th try lucky)! Charlie pink pointed it and cleaned the draws before I got on again. Very cool climb, pretty sustained and pumpy.

Made it all the way to the top fairly smoothly, clipped a draw into anchor chain but was too pumped so peeled off before I was able to clip it. Had a big fall onto the 4th bolt! I love utilizing the crack and counter balance foot.
