Ascents in Te Tihi-o-Kahukara / Castle Rock as Hang dog

Got absolutely sandbagged by this again 😆

Cool movement, sustained but a few cruxes. Did all the moves

Feels much harder than birth canal. Exciting to start projecting this one.

Sustained. Can almost get to the big move at half way clean. But the top is hard

Came very close to getting it clean on the last attempt, just slipped off doing a bump. Need to get on lead next!

Cool climb with interesting moves. Not sure what holds are meant to be off limits. Seems a little easier than Reincarnation and Arrested Development

Seems doable.

Hard. I had to skip a few moves.

Really tough. Cool moves

Working route, slightly cleaned it up top. Bottom section good

Solid 25, made it to the dyno… Need to find those no hand rests

Great route, though runout (but easy) in the top earthquake scar section. Hard at the bottom Good portection but hard to see into the crack.

So good! Bloody hard but did the bottom better than last time. Might go with a lot of projecting

Not a good ground up warm up. Quite a bit easier and less scary with the draws on the bolts. I think I’ve got the beta for next time. Most unproductive climbing session in years.

Took some time to figure out the best beta for both cruxes, pretty intricate.

Another go on top rope. Was still hard and didn't get it clean...

The crux felt hard as nails to me! Hard to get the feet up. I'm sure I'm missing something... Really good protection

Made it to the top with a lot of dogging. Super sustained all the way but a couple of definite cruxes

Great sustained route. Technical traverse on marginal footholds. Excellent crack line above the bolts.

Really good. Sustained.

Awesome route. Very tricky technical moves on the initial traverse (where I came off trying to do some tricky foot work), then some exposed moves on the arete up higher.
