Climbed through the crux smoothly only to fall at the top on sun greased slopers. Will return in better conditions!

Wow, I was not expecting to pull this one off today, thought I’d start working it as a winter project. Had the first bolt pre-clipped so could have been better style, but I don’t really care tbh. Awesome moves the whole way, what I’d expect Peak District grit to be like.

26 | ★★ Gruse Power | 14m | Mount Pleasant | ★★ Very Good | Tue 23rd May 2023 | ||||
Got it mostly worked out but still stumped at one move. Very stiff for 26, even on TR! Will be interesting to figure out how to protect it.

26 | ★★ Gruse Power | 14m | Mount Pleasant | ★★ Very Good | Tue 22nd Aug 2023 | ||||
Done on pre-placed gear, so could have been better style and maybe I’ll return for a proper red point one day. Gear would be finicky to place on lead, but possible. I climbed to the right of the topo line, not sure how most do it. It’s easier this way, but also protectable without top roping half the route or soloing. Happy to subtract a point or two, as it’s still a cracker of a line.

Looks like couple crimps have broken off just before you get into the crack?

Wow this thing feels nails! Very techy and balancey, with a burly crux. Epitomises bouldering on a rope. Looking forward to putting it together.

25 | ★★ Barking Up The Wrong Tree | 11m, 1 | Mount Pleasant | ★ Good | Tue 23rd May 2023 | ||||

Took a few goes to sort out the beta. Initially felt very hard, but on the send was almost trivial. Hard to grade. Probably a V3 boulder problem, quite balancey and sequential.

Powerful crack climbing, brilliant and very much a unicorn for the Port Hills. Good gear but also rather finicky in places.

Unsend, even with the top rope! Forgot the sequence, then remembered it. Also sorted out gear beta. Will be back for a go on the sharp end next visit.

24 | ★★ Sheltered Childhood — 3 attempts | 14m | Mount Pleasant | ★★★ Classic | Tue 16th May 2023 | ||||
Quite a unicorn for NZ: an actual crack, with actual jams, good rock, and no bolts. Packs a lot into 14m! Will be back for the proper red point, gear is good but sometimes finicky.

24 | ★★ Trivial Pursuit | 12m | Mount Pleasant | ★★ Very Good | Fri 4th Aug 2023 | ||||

Fell at the bottom, lowered, and sent to the top placing gear. A hard boulder on hand jamBs and a committing top on RPs. What’s not to like?

Took a lot of goes to tick this one on lead, and I still didn’t properly red point it! Felt hard given my rusty thrutching skills and the finicky gear at the crux. I didn’t know routes like this one existed in NZ, I’m stoked!
