Ascents in Tangarahu Rock

Awesome technical moves, very balancy, not usually into this sort of climbing but definitely worth it!

Buggered up the tricksy wee start, desperate clip then immediate sit. Top is good.

After Gareth's tall-man ascent. Better footwork on the start allows a good stance to high jug before clipping. Quite nice, I like it. 2nd bolt is potential groundfall.

Nice juggy flakes at start. After pulling up on them, get your feet onto them to prepare to step up hard on right foot to jug with grass growing out of it. This move is the crux and was assisted for me by a little but nice crimp on the left. Then basically jugs and good foot chips to the anchor

Warm up. Balance required to move up from first clipping hold. Otherwise easy.

Stay calm and you'll be fine . Personally it was just a mental challenge.

Fun slab.

Guide claims 16 which is definitely a sandbag, it's hardly easier than Kereru. Another tricky start, small sharp holds, tempting arete above.

Fun climb and a grade easier if you use the arête straight away and just scoot the right hand up it along the way

Warm up. Looks a lot easier if you go right to arete earlier than I did

Couldn't work out 1st to 2nd bolt

Bouldery start. Bit bare around the middle with delicate holds (literally) but nice warm up to get in the head game.

very hard for a 17

Super slimy down the middle so ended up climbing as an off width. So much fun.

Quite different climbing. Enjoyed it.

Nice warm up climb, great holds, reachy!

Ok, not worth 2 stars. Bit of a sun trap this side.

Ok

Nice. Will take a bit of gear at top to tame the runout, or don't look down.
