	23	★★ Thin and Germanic - with Justin Wimmer, Derek	Mixed trad 15m, 2		Gee Rad
Not the grade 18 warm up I had thought

	18	★ Straight Up The Face	Sport 15m, 4	★★ Very Good	Pak
Repeated. Fall unexpectedly.
	23 ~24	★★ Thin and Germanic	Mixed trad 15m, 2	★ Good	Pak
Seems like some hold are broken. Cannot find any hold to climb up after second bolt. And it is a mixed trad with only 2 bolt, not a sport climb.
	18	★★ Bang My Drum	Trad 15m	★★ Very Good	Pak
Not bolted. So just top rope after climbed the 17. It is a very good climb.
	20 ~23	★★ Don't Call Me Shorty	Sport 10m, 4	Don't Bother	Pak
Little hold on slightly overhang wall. Hander than most of the 23 I climbed. Cannot found a way to climb up after first bolt. Bolt are rusty, the anchor are far away after the last bolt. Cannot found the anchor, so have to climb down. Don't recommend it.

	14	★★ The Big Corner - with Grant Johnston	Trad 20m	★★★ Classic	John Pitcairn
One of the best grade 14 trad lines I have ever climbed. Good rock, excellent pro, compares very favourably to Arapiles.
	17	★★ Headbangers Arete - with Grant Johnston	Sport 20m, 5	★ Good	John Pitcairn
Oops. Cocked up the moves off the pedestal and found myself back on it without weighting the rope. Counting that as a fall.
	17	★★ Headbangers Arete - with Grant Johnston	Sport 20m, 5	★ Good	John Pitcairn
Much better. Managed to bang my head too. Thank you helmet.
	14	★★ The Big Corner - with Colin Megson	Trad 20m	★★★ Mega Classic	Angela Hewlett
Stopped at headbangers anchors
	14	★★ Wasted On the Wing - with Colin Megson	Trad 15m	★★★ Classic	Angela Hewlett

	17	★★ Headbangers Arete	Sport 20m, 5	★ Good	Ollie
Great fun this route. Teaches you to lay off the side well and awesome holds all the way up.
	18	★ After Burner	Sport 20m		Ollie
Fell on the 2nd to 3rd bolt on the first attempt as my foot slipped off but redeemed it the second attempt clean. Only hard move is there really

	17	★★ Headbangers Arete	Sport 20m, 5	★★★ Mega Classic	Josh laidlaw
Bolts have been put back on so finally got to lead it. Not really up for trying to prove a point with the trad lead with groundfall potential

Bolts have been removed, you can climb up some of the trad routes and set up a top rope though fun and challenging, tope half gets easier!

	17	★★ Headbangers Arete	Sport 20m, 5		Maxwell Cullen
Hangers have been removed because of some local ego dick-waving apparently. Stellar route. Shame it can't be lead.

	19	★ The Nutty Professor	Trad 15m	★★ Very Good	Kristian Pedersen
Had trouble placing gear on the first part but got two pieces in. The second one popped when I sat on it and I fell on my belayer's head. Got it second go. Top is scary with thin gear but good holds (If you can reach them).

tricky slabby part, need to trust your foot.
	17	★★ Headbangers Arete - with Maia 1	Sport 20m, 5	★★★ Classic	Ruth Tseng
excellent climb and top quality rock, would love to do it as lead but the bolt has been removed unfortunately.
	14	★★ The Big Corner	Trad 20m	★★ Very Good	Ruth Tseng
climbed it as top rope to clean the gear, nice crack climb, need to learn how to use hand jam properly !
	23	★★ Thin and Germanic	Mixed trad 15m, 2	★★★ Classic	Josh laidlaw
Jumped on it again since went so well on top rope, pre clipped first bolt as didn't want to ground fall but all went free. Great route
	14	★★ The Big Corner	Trad 20m	★★ Very Good	Josh laidlaw
Fun corner, some good jams and moves, good gear.
	17	★★ Headbangers Arete	Sport 20m, 5	★★★ Mega Classic	Josh laidlaw
Exceptional arete, a shame the first assentionist took the bolts off gor whatever reason so have to climb on too rope.
	23	★★ Thin and Germanic	Mixed trad 15m, 2	★★★ Classic	Josh laidlaw
Very technical climbing on tiny crimpers. Thought I'd try it on top rope cos I didn't think I'd make it. Fell near bottom, lowered down and went clean on second go
	14	★★ Wasted On the Wing	Trad 15m	★ Good	Josh laidlaw
Pretty fun to place some gear again but nothing special
	18	★ Straight Up The Face	Sport 15m, 4	★★ Very Good	Josh laidlaw
Very fun for a short route, high first bolt though

For how nice the aerate is i thought the climbing felt awkward. Head bangers is definitely the better line
	17	★★ Headbangers Arete	Sport 20m, 5		Max Gordon
Loved this. Easy climbing on good holds. One of those climbs that just feels nice climbing for the joy of climbing.

Walking past couldn't help but be drawn to this impressive line. First time at wanaka and on this kind of rock but managed to figure out the sequence and get the onsight. Sweet line

Awesome arete climb, one little crux move just above the second bolt, so much friction, so much stoke!

Great to second and look at gear placements, beautiful crack climb
	14	★★ The Big Corner	Trad 20m	★★★ Classic	Carmen
