Waitaha / Canterbury Ngā Kohatu Whakarakaraka o Tamatea Pōkai Whenua / The Port Hills Barnett Park The Cave
32 Centrifuge

The horizontal line which traverses almost half of The Cave. Start as for She Devil, pass Gorilla Grip and continue along the seam which leads to Bogus Machismo. A mediocre rest at the flat ledge allows for a modicum of recovery before attacking Bogus' final crux.

Waitaha / Canterbury Ngā Kohatu Whakarakaraka o Tamatea Pōkai Whenua / The Port Hills Waterfall Crag
V10 Traverse Right to Left (No Glue)

Start as for Arachnophobia, then commence traversing left to top out as for End of the Rainbow. This line is an eliminate and excludes all holds "made out of glue". Interesting distinction, and likely subject to change as the cave evolves. The line stays low, underneath the steepest parts of the wall.

Boulder
V10 Sasquatch

Start near the centre of the cave with LH gaston and RH undercling. Make a hard pull on and slap LH to sloper. Latch RH crimp then throw to a good edge. From here, grab the good ball hold then climb straight up the face on good holds. Finish to the right on the bucket.
