	22/23	★★★ Industrial Action - with Erin Hager	Sport 22m, 10	★★★ Mega Classic	Joey G	Sat 30th Mar 2024
Fantastic route. After easter weekend there had been at least 6 people up and down it, and we gave it a good clean, jump on it!
	20	★ Under the Thumb	Sport 13m, 4	★ Good	Thibaut	Sun 9th Aug 2020
Short but really fun!
	22	★★ Short Span	Sport 20m, 8	★★★ Classic	Thibaut	Sun 9th Aug 2020
Bring a cam or 2 to protect the long runout between 2nd & 3rd bolts. Risk of ground fall otherwise. Clear crux on the face below roof, around 5th and 6th bolts. Awesome route.
	22	★ Brass Monkey	Mixed trad 25m, 3	★★ Very Good	Thibaut	Sun 9th Aug 2020
1st pitch: Bring a full single rack of cams from #0.5 up. Tricky offwidth around midway. 2nd pitch: V3ish boulder problem at the first anchor. A few easier, technical moves follow.

	17	★★ Heavenly Crack - with Tom	Trad 15m	★★ Very Good	Gee Rad	Sun 13th Sep 2020
A minor epic, tunnelling under fallen vegetation (now cleared) and a bit of a runout without a #5. Take singles to camalot #5 with three #3s

	17	Short n Sweet - with shichang	Trad 10m	Don't Bother	John Pitcairn	Mon 14th Sep 2015
Mossy and dirty at the bottom and will probably stay that way due to the angle and trees above. Had to dig out handholds and placements, first cam and tiny nut very very sketchy. You may find it preferable to nip right to Dani for better gear. Continued up the top bolts of Dani, more enjoyable.

	17	★★ Stealing Dad's Rack	Trad 10m	★ Good	Sam Lancaster	Sat 18th Jan 2020
Nice 17, pretty easy up to the top 1/3rd which is a bit commiting and quite insecure feeling for me. Surprisingly pumpy for the top section!

No time to do the second pitch. Got to use the #5 cam!
	17	★ Finger of Fate	Mixed trad 20m, 2		Christian Gamst	Sun 18th Feb 2018
Very dirty, somewhat cleaner now. Hanger missing from one of the anchor bolts at the top of p1

Climbed it in one pitch. Exciting finish traversing inside the chimney.

Short but fun. Take some big gear, or you'll be running it out up the top crack (duh).

Felt like a whanganui bay climb so points for that. Fun times. 22/23
	18	The Root - with A cast of thousands	Trad 25m	★ Good	John Pitcairn	Sat 29th Nov 2014
A good adventure. Some fun 3D moves, some root climbing (and slinging), some loose blocks, and a balancy bulging finish straight up left next to the wall with small pro will get your heart pumping. Deserves a star.

	21	★★★ Spartacus (Spartacas)	Sport 16m, 8	★★★ Mega Classic	Chris Hailey	Sat 5th Oct 2019
Probably the best 21 I have climbed in New Zealand, odd moves to begin with then head up a finger crack... Im sure trad climbers are crying into their porridge over the top section being bolted haha
	21	★★★ Spartacus (Spartacas)	Sport 16m, 8	★★★ Classic	Thibaut	Tue 4th Feb 2020
A bit dirty but still a splendid route. Cool mantle about halfway and then spectacular climbing up a finger crack on the slab head wall. Epic battle to bag the onsite.

	20	★★ Ben’s Big Day Out	Mixed trad 22m, 3	★ Good	Thibaut	Tue 22nd Dec 2020
Difficult climbing on dirty holds with average gear. At my very limit. Recommended for climbers who are already very confident climbing on gear at 20/21, and I guess I barely make the cut...

Super fun, deserves its * * * rating! Up the crack at the start, shifting hands upward and smearing feet against slick face (the feet follow the hands on this one - opposite of the advice I was given for "Easy Lay" haha). I try to wedge my left foot into the crack as I go for a little extra purchase, too (dunno if helps really). I actually moved onto the face after clipping 2nd bolt, grabbing little chalked chip/pocket with right hand and then putting right foot into little pocket too, stemming with left foot against side of other face, moving left hand into little slopey pockets on face too. After that it gets easier, with better and better holds for both hands and feet, as you go diagonally up/right and then fully horizontal to the right. Eventually there is a beautiful juggy flake just above each bolt as you shift along the long traverse. I kept ensuring I found solid feet to keep the pump at bay, and the only pump I felt was in my feet! Haha. The mantle onto the belay ledge was fine with the help of a high right heel hook
