Summary

Far right hand end of the lower tier is an area that had an old route bolted from the bottom to the top tier... This sector has no details from previous developers.

Description

Head past "Le Stix" and follow the track down then up and back down again, this will lead you to "Axis" and the access to the left hand side routes on the main buttress. To get to the right hand side follow a rough track down and around further past "Direct Axis" then up to the chain.

Access issues inherited from Maratoto

Owned by DOC and haven't had any problems so far, but don't give them a reason to restrict the area. Please take all rubbish and anything you take with you; only leave your footprints behind.

Ethic inherited from Maratoto

Can stay up at the top of the mountain but only sleeps about 2 or 3 people max. It is quite exposed and small, so tents won't fit. Take all rubbish with you. Check local fire bans in the area before starting a fire.

Start from the ledge and traverse right up to a ledge. old bolts have been removed/knocked in. Re bolted but some of the holds at the start look suspiciously formed 🤔

Down to the right of "Axis" is a direct version, still needs a start bolt and an ascent but looks like it will be far better climbing than the traverse.

Climb the right hand face from the ledge. Some suspect holds up there if you spot them, this is the original line, re bolted and some fantastic views. At the anchors if you want to get to the top tier, climb past and keep going... More anchors then a single bolt to top out the route... belay your buddy up from the bolts on the boulder over to the right.

The left line from the main ledge, keep to the right or left if you want a harder outing. as with "old school epics" you can climb past the anchors and mantel the top to get to the top tier.

Climb the corner then break out left through the over hang, beware of the calf pump and save some juice for the top!!!!

The line to the far left, climb the over hanging face. Needs bolts, has anchors (shares with corner line)

Climb the left overhanging face (after the overhang you can get onto the ledge for the other lines) or keep going up through a tricky crux.

Climb the right hand face from the chain. 30m of climbing with a few cruxes, step left at the top of the line to the anchors shared with "Shin-dig" Don't forget to enjoy the view!!!

The right hand line from the ledge, still needs work and a chain for the ledge.

The left hand line from the ledge, still needs work and a chain for the ledge.
