Fangatave Beach Whale Wall
16 Beginners Wail - with Alexei Drummond Sport 20m, 7 Classic
Follow the crack/flake arete, with jugs all around. Really nice climb

 
19 Thirty Four (years) (Thirty Four (years) P1) - with Alexei Drummond
1 19 23m lead by Alex Popinga
Sport 23m Classic
Sort of a boulder-y start but super easy with grippy jugs. Goes left onto the face and then traverse right. Nice ledges to rest on along the way. If you don't have a nice jug, just keep moving and you will find one

Fangatave Beach Anokula Wall
18 Purple Pincer Pocket Puller (Purple Pincer Pocket Puller P1) - with Alexei Drummond
1 18 27m lead by Alex Popinga
Sport 27m Classic
Easy fun flake at the start, followed by slight overhang sustained to anchors (past the tree branch brushing the rock). There is a full body jam just before the pumpy part for a hands-free rest and plenty of juggy pockets though. A bit slopey pulling up to anchor but hidden pockets. Beautiful long, fun climb! ♡

Northwestern Beach crags Olu sea cliff
19 the Muppet Show - with Alexei Drummond Sport 29m, 11 Classic
I was a bit too scared at the start with the sharp overhung rock above more sharp rock - really afraid to fall! After that, with a nice rest in a cave ledge, a smooth jug traverse to a crack and stem, followed by fun crimp slab with a hidden jug by the tree jutting out from the rock, and then easy as to finish in a HUGE cave at the anchor!

Beautiful arete with arch as a backdrop, easy nice moves trending slightly left to the anchor

Fangatave Beach Whale Wall
16 Whale Access Pitch - with Alexei Drummond Sport 7m, 4 Very Good
Fun little route up a squeeze chimney if you want and onto a nice juggy arete to a grassy ledge with a big cave and lovely sea view just before the anchor
