Ascents in Kawakawa Bay as Flash by John Pitcairn

Also bloody good. Started in a post-lunch coma but woke up pretty fast. Great slabby moves, fairly sustained at 20+ most of the way. Possibly 3 stars if it was cleaner, though it's clean enough if you trust the occasional lichen smear. Should have led it dammit, will be back for that.

Draws on. A valiant near miss on the onsight by Grant. Crux is through the first 2-3 bolts, then it's all over.

Interesting and delicate. Was coached through the gear placement before the crux by Matthias, thanks.

Draws on. Stayed on face. Quite good but points off for retrobolting and squeezing ATGML and AA.

Draws on. Felt a bit awkward, maybe not the best warmup. One star at most.

Really rather good

Nice cleaning job Gareth. LH start, good moves on the arete, similar feeling to P1 of After The Sunset. 19 is a bit of a stretch I think, LH is 18. Incoming rain drove us back to camp.

Draws on. No chance of doing the direct, but sneaking left really feels like cheating.

Back for a proper go. Bouldery start then delicate moves up to meet Rohan's Little Sister. Think it's probably 18 unless you're supposed to crank straight up over the nose, which would be an eliminate. Adds a very worthwhile few metres.

Draws on. Dodging showers. Probably went a little far left at the crux, but that's what squeeze routes get you.

Rather better than it looks. Belayed Grant's onsight first. Hands a bit chewed afterwards but.

Nowhere near 18.

About time I climbed this. Yup it's 15 not 16, and pretty good but fairly straightforward slab climbing. Had a play on the top of Curious Kiwi on the way down, that seems reasonably solid 19.
