Yes, it’s another silly linkup, but it’s good value and flows naturally.

Year Right Wall
	18	★ Funacation	Sport 22m, 7	★ Good	David Jefferson
Climbed to access the anchor to bolt Arm & Hammer.
	24/25	★★ Arm & Hammer	Sport 18m, 6	★★ Very Good	David Jefferson
Hard to believe that this line was just lying in wait, smack in the middle of one of the most popular cliffs in Chch. It required minimal cleaning, and it climbs surprisingly well. A worthy addition to the crag IMO, but I am biased! Hard to grade, could be anywhere from 23 to 25, so will need more traffic to confirm. Get on it!

Year Right Wall
	18	★ Nanny State - with Jemima	Sport 20m, 6	★ Good	Slackaction
Thought this was wiki leaks and chose as a warm up, real awkward and had frozen hands, took a whip on first bolt after foot slip, then got lowered and did it fine 2nd go.
	17 ~18	★ Wiki Leaks - with Jemima	Sport 20m, 5	Average	Slackaction
Really awkward stiff start with high bolt, then mellow to the top, forgot to grab my draws off Jem so skipped the top 2 bolts so I had anchor draws.
	21	Easy Action — 2 attempts - with Jemima	Mixed trad 20m, 4	★ Good	Slackaction
Intitially thought this was the 18, as I thought the 18 was the 17, took a tasty whip onto the second bolt sticking too far right on onsite, then top roped it and pulled straight through, gets really fun once in the trad realm, feel compelled to come back and lead it, but we’ll see

Short but sustained, on the hard end of 22 in my opinion
	22 Hard	★★ Colonel Malone - with siâny, the gang	Sport 18m, 4	★★ Very Good	Slackaction
One fall right at the last moves on onsight attempt. Great climbing
	15	★ Stainless Sproutings - with siâny, the gang	Sport 15m, 4	Average	Slackaction
Nothing to write home about
	17/18 ~16	★ Bush Tucker - with siâny, and the gang	Sport 10m, 4	★ Good	Slackaction

Repeat to clean Dr Strangelove.
	32	★★ Dr Strangelove	Sport 14m, 6	★★ Very Good	David Jefferson
Still not able to make a couple of the moves. A lot turns on getting the heel to stick. Feels good to try something that feels on the edge of possible.

Using Xavier's supplementary trad rack. Should've done this earlier, the gear placements sapped my energy

Mr Clean Wall
	32	★★ Dr Strangelove	Sport 14m, 6	★★ Very Good	David Jefferson
Having a play since the rope was already up. Too much stretch to work on TR, will lead next time. Could make all the moves except two, but damn are they hard! Might invest time in this one.
	27	★★ How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb	Sport 4	★★ Very Good	David Jefferson
Got it first shot of the day, hanging draws. Really nice!

Made it to the last moves clean. Hard move to a pinch on the left at the very top for me
	22 Hard	★★ Colonel Malone — 2 attempts	Sport 18m, 4	★★★ Classic	Thibaut
A worthy opponent, in my current form. Hopefully she’ll go next time.

Poor foot work had me falling after the crux second go. Third shot was just too wasted after a week of physical labour. A great route, keen to come back for it!

Finally slayed the mighty Kublai Khan, but not after punting off the top once! Turned out changing the shoes was the beta I needed to get it done. Only one hard route remains for me at Lyttelton now. Coming for you Dr Strangelove!

The Thunderdome
	29	★ Kublai Khan	Sport 15m, 4	★ Good	David Jefferson
Don’t know why, but still couldn’t make it happen today even after one hanging for the first time on the first attempt. Kept slipping out of the knee bar at the crux, despite the good conditions. Found an easier way to do the last move of the crux though, so all is not lost!
	25	★★ Layer Cake	Sport 12m, 6	★★ Very Good	David Jefferson

Second ascent after the big man. Likely would have flashed it, but the hold at the start of the crux exploded in my hands first go. Sorted out new beta and got it second shot.

Gutted I dropped the onsight at the last bolt, went the wrong way and had to downclimb a few metres. Think it would've gone otherwise.

Good progress today, very nearly got there. Wasted 2 goes with poor draw mgmt, which resulted getting my hand caught up in the rope on the crux move. 3rd and 4th go were both very close, and got past the hardest moves. Got a good chance at it next session I reckon.
