22 | Situation Comedy
Start just right of Mis-spent Youth and climb straight up the steep wall over a small roof (good gear just above) and into a groove. At the top of the groove make a committing move move right to a rest below a small bulge. Continue up to a ledge and finish more easily to a single bolt. Good protection except at the move right, which is runout and a bit scary. . FA: Tony Burnell, 2000 | 15m, 1 | |||
22 | ★★ Speights Race
An overhanging corner with stepped roofs above the Matterhorn boulder. Pull on to the ledge and climb the corner; then move left to a small ledge. Tricky move to the last bolt, then up slightly left to finish at the lowest point. Unfortunately this is the last route on the crag to dry. FA: Tony Burnell, 1999 | 16m, 5 | |||
22 | ★★ Cat's Cradle
Start at the very right end of the yellow lichen-covered boulder. Cross the roof at its widest part and continue up a blocky looking wall with good holds to the final bolt and a tricky exit. Good fun - this is how sport climbing should be. Two-ring anchor. The belayer may wish to tie to the elder tree to avoid being dragged into mud or nettles. FA: Tony Burnell, 2000 | 12m, 4 | |||

Waitaha / Canterbury Ngā Kohatu Whakarakaraka o Tamatea Pōkai Whenua / The Port Hills Britten Crag The Alcove | |||||
22 | ★ Tropical Storm
Fairly easy for the grade. Starts up the left-leading weakness through the roof on the left side of The Alcove. Follow three bolts leftward and then pull over the roof on good holds into a shallow groove with a bridging rest. Steepening finish, with the best holds leading left. Use the anchors of one of the adjacent routes. FA: Richard Kimberley, 2000 | 15m, 6 | |||
22 | Same Old Boring BS
Better than the name suggests. Six bolts. A central finish between the two earlier options to the Tropical Storm anchors. FA: Richard Kimberley, 2002 | 15m, 6 | |||
22 | It Is Pointless To Resist
Climb leftward through the roof as for the previous route, and then move right about two metres and climb a corner over a small roof, heading left to ring hanger anchors. FA: Richard Kimberley, 2000 | 15m, 7 | |||
22 | ★ A Dog's Life
Pull hard through the overhang past two bolts, then move rightward, clipping the third bolt from a good hold in the base of the groove to the left. Step right and power on up the prow, moving left to the fifth bolt and a positive exit. Five bolts and anchors FA: John Iseli, 2000 | 15m, 5 | |||
22 | ★ Wave Of Mutilation
On the left side of the cave. Four bolts lead directly up an overhanging wall with a capping roof to conclude at double anchor rings. There is a squating rest on the pillar halfway up. FA: Marcus Thomas, 2000 | 12m, 4 | |||
22 | ★ Noisy Neighbour
Start up U Haul to the first bolt, but move left to another bolt, then blast up the wall past two more bolts on improving holds. Can also be started by bouldering to the first bolt directly. Use the U-Haul anchors. FA: Marcus Thomas, 2000 | 13m, 4 | |||
