The Bluff The Upper Bluff
	18 Duro	The Sufferer and the Witness - con Aidan Sarginson, Gareth	Clásica mixta 37m, 3	Medio
Aidan's idea, quite pleased I wasn't leading it, dirty as and very very chossy to the left. Some was sent down to terrify the belayer, much remains up there. Got harness gear well stuck in a small manuka and came off, removed it. Crux is cleanish, very balancy and possibly harder than 18. P2 anchor is a pair of surprise carrots. One strand of access hand line is getting a bit core shot. Memorable in the wrong way. Distracted ourselves with more track fairy work down below.
Lun 5.º Feb 2024 - Kawakawa Bay
The Bluff The Lower Bluff
	17	★ Kykkeliky - con Aidan Sarginson, Gareth	Clásica 25m	★ Buena
Stuffed myself in too far at the start. The kowhai is an arse and really needs a prune. Found even more gear through the "run out" cave section. Went and looked at the terrifying upper bluff rockfall.
	20 ~19	★ Sundowning Syndrome - con Aidan Sarginson, Gareth	Deportiva 20m, 5	Medio
A bit squeezed at the top.
	17 Duro	★★ Iboga - con Aidan Sarginson, Gareth	Clásica mixta 30m, 1	★★ Muy buena
Had led before as a DHMK linkup. Bloody great jamming and bridging. Only let down by a sandy unprotected traverse in and loose topout. Started up GOTG to avoid the grot, long sling on the DHMK anchor and the bolt before it. We sent a few missiles down. Fixed up the core shot GOTG hand line then rapped down that.

The Point
	18 Duro	★ Natural Selection	Clásica 26m	★ Buena
Rope soloed on a shunt and backup knots after an epic hot cleaning session. Still a bit gritty yet, needs some rain. Gonna be good to lead, might be 19.
	18	★ Human Intervention - con Aidan Sarginson	Deportiva 28m, 9	★ Buena
Up for a 3-fairy all day cleaning session on this, Natural Selection and Safety In Numbers. Much cleaner now.
Sáb 3.º Feb 2024 - Kawakawa Bay
The Yacht Club
	19	★ Don’t Be A Prick, Clean Your Tick - con Aidan Sarginson, Gareth	Deportiva 20m, 4	★ Buena
Bloody high 1st bolt preclipped, but the climbing to it is easy enough. Fluffed the crux trying to use Aidan's beta, eventually found something better for me. Must come back for this.
	18	King Of The World - con Aidan Sarginson, Gareth	Deportiva 23m, 5	Medio
Draws on. Dodging showers. Probably went a little far left at the crux, but that's what squeeze routes get you.

	20 Duro	★★ Great Scott - con Aidan Sarginson	Deportiva 27m, 10	★ Buena
Warmup? Across to the Critters anchor for a 1.5 hour effort getting the big midway flake off that and raining big chunks down. Aidan got the draws off just before rain arrived.

	20	★★ The Skink Prince (of Bel Air) - con Gareth, Justin Wimmer	Deportiva 15m, 8	★ Buena
Thumb press popped off, rats. Pretty green down low, could use a scrub later in summer.
	22	★★★ Rohans Arete - con Gareth, Justin Wimmer	Deportiva 28m, 11	★★ Muy buena
Back in the evening, rock still a bit warm. All going well then cocked up the 2nd crux and paid the tree a visit. Couldn't crunch up enough to get toe on the rock over, had to go on a heel. Warming up first might have helped.
	16 ~17	★★ Blindmans Bluff - con Gareth	Clásica 28m	★ Buena
Thin crack only at start. Great jamming up top. Borrowed Justin's black totem, perfect size for shattered bit.
	20 Duro	★★ Great Scott - con Justin Wimmer, Gareth	Deportiva 27m, 10	★★ Muy buena
	18	★ Critters Corner - con Justin Wimmer	Clásica 25m	★ Buena
Thanks to Aidan for the clean! The closest thing to quarry climbing you'll get here. The big midway flake is now starting to hinge outward at its midpoint, it needs to be removed soon.
Mié 3.º En 2024 - Kawakawa Bay
The Point
	19 Duro	★★ The Sweet and the Savage - con Gareth	Clásica 30m	★★ Muy buena
Back to get it, a hell of a fight. Suckers you by starting easy then getting slowly harder until you're packed into a strenuous jam/undercling with very high feet out at the crux. The step around/down (maybe there is another option here) to the vertical crack needed a lot of willpower, then took an age to protect it while wrecked. The "trad belay" seems dodgy due to a hollow sounding block and limited options, kept going to anchors with solid rope drag, belayed with poor comms. Harder than Hecklers I reckon, need more opinions.
	20	★ Sunday School - con Gareth	Deportiva 17m, 4	★ Buena
Straightforward enough once you burn it into non-volatile memory.
	20	★ Sunday School - con Gareth	Deportiva 17m, 4	★ Buena
Took a long time and a couple of takes to find the right sequence after 3rd bolt.
Mar 2.º En 2024 - Kawakawa Bay
Elephant Buttress Upper tier
	17	★★ Elephant's Revenge - con Gareth	Clásica 15m	★★ Muy buena
Towed a #5 up here but it's only really useful to protect the wide start until you get a good high hex. A few jamming/offwidth skills will go a long way. Stays fairly clean, and there's a bolted anchor.
Mar 2.º En 2024 - Kawakawa Bay
Elephant Buttress Middle tier
	15 Duro	Irrelephant - con Gareth	Clásica 8m	Medio
Continuing the dirty 'ol trad research project. Harder than it looks. Didn't hate it.

Elephant Buttress Lower tier
	17 Duro	★ Pet Shop Shark Attack 1981 - con Gareth	Clásica mixta 30m, 3	★ Buena
Rather good. Headed right after first bolt, some sketch getting back on line. Nose bolts a bit tempting. Surprisingly clean for a mixed route.

The Point
	18	★ Benny’s Magical Koura Circus - con Jonno Rau, Gareth	Clásica 18m	★ Buena
Nice line, could use a brush.
	17	★★ Boat Ramp Crack - con Jonno Rau, Gareth	Clásica 45m	★★ Muy buena
Out here for urgent track safety work. Great long route, let down by a dirty top third (take a brush). Lowered Jonno then brought G up, time flew by.

	22	★★ Predator - con Jonno Rau, Gareth	Deportiva 12m, 5	★ Buena
After some evening Jugzilla hand-line fixing. Haha, nope, fell or sat on each of the first 4 bolts. Maybe should have warmed up. Lengthy top rope session followed.

Secret Garden
	19	★★ Bitten By A Cobra - con Gareth	Clásica mixta 25m, 4	★★ Muy buena
A bit of dirt in the crack dogleg. Put a nut in the jam there, had to remove it and place a lower cam. Skipped all the top bolts, finished to Korimako anchor.
	17	★★ Manbearpig - con Gareth	Clásica 15m	★ Buena
The Angela move for the win. Don't stuff yourself in.
	16	★ Alice In Wonderland - con Gareth	Deportiva 20m, 7	★ Buena
Gear within half a metre of every bolt.
	17	★★ The Mad Hatter - con Gareth	Deportiva 20m, 10	★ Buena
Loose bolt tightening. Horrified at how much more extensive the trampled earth is and the extra tracks coming in. Unsustainable.
Dom 22.º Oct 2023 - Kawakawa Bay
The Point
	18	★★ Road Tripping - con Gareth	Deportiva 48m, 14	★★ Muy buena
Better than High Hopes. Could use a clean but not too bad, maybe 18 as is. Nice view of parties on cruxes of After The Sunset and The Odyssey.
	16	★★ Super Natural - con Gareth	Clásica 45m	★★ Muy buena
I still bloody love this even after a visit to Arapiles. Still clean enough. Scrape the thin crack out a little for gear at the crux.

The Bluff The Lower Bluff
	16	★ Dont Hurt my Kowhai P2 - con Gareth 2 20 Clásica escalada de primero por John Pitcairn Bloody great value for 16. Only took nuts, a few cams wouldn't hurt. Excellent finish and a great way to avoid a shambles on GOTG.	Clásica mixta 20m, 14	★★ Muy buena
	18	★★ Guardians of the Galaxy P1-2 - con Gareth 1 18 20 De segundo escalada de primero por Gareth Linked both pitches. Really nice flowy movement if you don't try to face climb it. 2 18 15 De segundo escalada de primero por Gareth Linked into Don't Hurt My Kowhai P2	Deportiva 35m, 28	★★ Muy buena
Finally ... some Euro twatbag decided it was OK to throw their rope down without asking when G reached the anchor, rap past me seconding and then start to pull the ropes. If you don't like being sworn at don't be such a massive dickhead. And pad your bloody hammock cord.
	19	★★ Dirty Dancing - con Gareth	Deportiva 15m, 6	★ Buena
Made a hash of the pull onto the slab. Some kind of weird heel scum.
	17	★ Ducky Fuzz - con Gareth	Deportiva 15m	Medio
Waiting for 2 parties in the queue ahead of us on Guardians. Tricky start.

Getting a tad lichenous through the middle crack. Prob 18 in its current state.

After a morning spent accessing and removing the loose block on Sex Panther.

Cracks Wall
	18	★★ Outboard Crack - con Gareth	Clásica 20m	★★ Muy buena
1pm start, still a tad slippery in places after overnight rain. Couldn't get Jonno's nut out of Flake 7 on the way down.
Dom 9.º Abr 2023 - Kawakawa Bay
The Bluff The Lower Bluff
	22	★★ Mr Mojo - con Gareth 1 22 30m Deportiva escalada de primero por John Pitcairn Great pitch. Pumpy through the crimps, needed a sit. A number of attempts at finding the crux sequence with several chunky falls. Core shot the rope but didn't notice, shiiittt. Belayed at the new lower anchor, removed a loose rock and lowered it. 2 18 30m De segundo escalada de primero por Gareth Loose rock, lichen, confusing bolting at top, scrabbly topout over loose gravel to overcrowded caveman anchor. Not 19. Removes a star, don't bother, just do P1.	Deportiva 60m, 13	★ Buena
	16 ~15	Sweet 16s Not M16s - con Gareth	Deportiva 20m, 9	Ni te molestes
Warmup. Meh.
Sáb 8.º Abr 2023 - Kawakawa Bay
The Bluff The Lower Bluff
	17	★ Kykkeliky - con Gareth	Clásica 25m	★ Buena
Adventure climbing in failing light. Spiderwebs, bushes, lichen, runout, tree anchor, wouldn't have it any other way. Needed a wee swim after, brrr.
	20 ~19	★ Sundowning Syndrome - con Gareth	Deportiva 20m, 5	Medio
A bit confusing at the crux where routes are just too close together.
	19	★★ Pinch and a Punch - con Gareth	Deportiva 20m, 7	★★ Muy buena
Overlooked by all the punters on the squeeze routes.

	19	★★ Flake 7 - con Gareth, Jonno Rau	Clásica 20m	★★ Muy buena
Right face in middle could use a scrub. Jonno has left some booty at crux if anyone can get it out.
	17 Duro	★★ Sunset Boulevard - con Gareth	Clásica 18m	★★ Muy buena
Harder than I remember through middle. Missed the good foot out right.

	20	★★ The Skink Prince (of Bel Air) - con Gareth	Deportiva 15m, 8	★ Buena
Can't reach the finger lock at the crux directly from the stance, but a thumb press out left and right foot on the wee feature allows shoulder rotation to do the job.
	22	★★★ Rohans Arete - con Gareth	Deportiva 28m, 11	★★ Muy buena
1 fall at first crux. Hard on the skin.
	20 Duro	★★ Great Scott - con Gareth	Deportiva 27m, 10	★★ Muy buena
Perfect conditions for it.
	16 ~17	★★ Blindmans Bluff - con Gareth	Clásica 28m	★ Buena
Thin crack only at start.
Mié 4.º En 2023 - Kawakawa Bay
The Point
	22	★★ Safety in Numbers	Deportiva 30m, 14	★★ Muy buena
Consistent all the way. A lot of lichen makes it hard to spot the feet and at times you are on lichen slopers. High priority for a clean. Topped out through some dead bushy stuff I didn't remember being there, couldn't find the anchor, then discovered a tree had died and fallen right onto it. Considerable swearing while balanced on more lichen. Got anchored then spent a while wrenching the tree off and sent it down. Rap cleaned. This will be bloody great after a good brush.
	19 Duro	★★ Sidewinder - con Jonno Rau 1 19 32 Deportiva 2 19 10 De segundo 3 17 19 Deportiva	Deportiva 61m, 17	★★ Muy buena
Unexpectedly slipped off onto the first bolt, lowered and pulled the rope for another go. Should have warmed up on something. Strayed too far right after that, hard to get back left. Might remember next time. Got up and off with just a few spots of rain, sheltered from the NE.

	22	★★★ Rohans Arete - con Jonno Rau	Deportiva 28m, 11	★★ Muy buena
Feeling OK at the crux, then discovered I was z-clipped and not going anywhere. Cooked myself undoing that from the crux position then peeled off into the tree trying to make the move. Hauled up then got it. Idiot.
	20 Duro	★★ Great Scott - con Jonno Rau	Deportiva 27m, 10	★ Buena
A good first go by Jonno. Crux flake is still attached.
	16 Fácil	★★ The Gecko Groove - con Jonno Rau	Clásica 28m	★★ Muy buena
Back-cleaned a #1 and #3. Doubles at those sizes would make sense.
Lun 2.º En 2023 - Kawakawa Bay
The Point
	19	★★★ The Hecklers - con Jonno Rau	Clásica 45m	★★★ Clásico
This is so good. Took quite an effort after no climbing for 2 months. A clean of the right face would help find more rests.
	16	★★ Super Natural - con Jonno Rau	Clásica 45m	★★ Muy buena
Always good. Still pretty clean, present me thanks past me.
	18	★★★ After the Sunset P1 1 18 30m Deportiva	Deportiva 30m, 42	★★ Muy buena
Warmup. The first of the two good pitches for the route (P5 is the other). Bloody nice.

	17	★★ Manbearpig - con Jonno Rau	Clásica 15m	★ Buena
Quite a change in character after Korimako...
	20 Duro	★★ Korimako - con Jonno Rau	Deportiva 25m, 11	★ Buena
Re-sent. Great conditions, cool and dry sure makes a difference. Somebody left draws on, got a surprise when the one at the top of the slab was a triple-locker (hate 'em), and another when the final draw up the dihedral wasn't there.
	16	★ Alice In Wonderland - con Jonno Rau	Deportiva 20m, 7	★ Buena
New Year's Day and hardly anyone here? Unbelievable. A much more absorbing route on gear.

	16	★★ The Gecko Groove - con Gareth	Clásica 28m	★★ Muy buena
Late start, a bit cold and stiff, foot jamming not very welcome. Neither of us feeling very enthusiastic, back to camp for lunch and pack up.

	18 19	★★ Sex Panther - con Gareth, Greg, Amy, Arlo	Clásica mixta 40m, 6	★★★ Clásico
Group Sex Panther. Started up late in the day, led as one pitch with some nervy moments avoiding the loose block at midway. Settled in at sunset for a lengthy belay session bringing up three seconds, watched the moon rise, then we all had a headlamp strobe disco on the ledge. Back to camp around 8.30pm. Thanks to Matt for the extra rope.

Cracks Wall
	20	★★ Great Scott - con Greg, Gareth	Deportiva 27m, 10	★★ Muy buena
Rock getting a bit warm, but probably the smoothest I've ever managed. The small crux sidepull flake is flexing, somebody will get a surprise soon.
	22	★★★ Rohans Arete - con Gareth, Amy	Deportiva 28m, 11	★★★ Clásico
Haha, unsent again. Had a brain fart at the second crux, one take to sort my shit out rather than take the plummet into the tree again.
	17	★ The Slot Machine - con Gareth	Clásica 15m	★ Buena
Possibly the least gear I have ever placed on this at 5 pieces, but I was bumping the single #3 cam. The block at the bottom is not loose, but it is fairly hollow. There is a good 0.3 cam as alternative first piece just below it.
Sáb 16.º Abr 2022 - Kawakawa Bay
The Bluff The Lower Bluff
	19	★★ Pinch and a Punch - con Greg, Gareth	Deportiva 20m, 7	★★ Muy buena
Shortly before dark, among the AURAC hordes. Sure keeps you honest, held a foot slip at the expense of some finger skin. Then time for Gareth's grindr assault on Respect My Authoritah.
Sáb 16.º Abr 2022 - Kawakawa Bay
The Point
	22	★★ Safety in Numbers - con Greg, Gareth	Deportiva 30m, 14	★★ Muy buena
Also bloody good. Started in a post-lunch coma but woke up pretty fast. Great slabby moves, fairly sustained at 20+ most of the way. Possibly 3 stars if it was cleaner, though it's clean enough if you trust the occasional lichen smear. Should have led it dammit, will be back for that.
	19	★★ Survival of the Fittest - con Greg, Gareth	Deportiva 40m, 14	★★ Muy buena
Bloody good, highly recommended. Much cleaner than I was expecting too. An easy warmup cruise up most of Raw Umber lulls you into a false sense of security, then get your runout trousers on for the tricky arete crack (or take a couple of finger size cams). Then it's time for the main game, up the black-streaked corner. You can step across left to a good rest, but getting back right will be tricky if that's where you want to go. Spent a good long while figuring out how to keep moving up on the left and didn't want to leave the rest, but it's all there at the grade. Easier to the top, then best rap down is to the Raw Umber anchor.
Vie 15.º Abr 2022 - Kawakawa Bay
Jungle Wall
	18	★ Baloo - con Greg	Deportiva 18m, 9	Medio
Pretty straightforward and not worth a star in my opinion.
	23	★ Kaa's Kingdom - con Greg, Gareth	Deportiva 18m, 10	★ Buena
Top rope fail and lower, couldn't stand up off the crux crimps. But getting up to there is pretty neat. Stiffer shoes with a lower profile toe might help.
	19	★★ Tropic Thunder - con Greg, Gareth	Clásica mixta 18m, 2	★★ Muy buena
Quite a bit trickier than it looks, and really good. Some difficult off-balance jamming through the corner, then eases up top. A full double rack is overkill unless you want to stitch it up, but doubles of 0.4 thru 1 may be handy. The 2 bolts are just an annoyance.
	19	★★ Bandar-log - con Greg	Deportiva 18m, 10	★ Buena
Draws on. Felt a bit awkward, maybe not the best warmup. One star at most.
Sáb 5.º Feb 2022 - Kawakawa Bay
The Bluff The Lower Bluff
	22	★★ Predator - con Gareth	Deportiva 12m, 5	★ Buena
Close. A bit pumped and too far left after clipping 3rd bolt, took one sit. Threw to the wrong (higher) hold after first bolt, backed down and did it again. Rain coming in but this was staying dry. Swam in the lake in the rain after. An OK early trip end.
	18	★ Respect My Authoritah - con Gareth	Deportiva 20m, 5	★ Buena
Went easily now the gritty feet have cleaned up. Going right to the sloper-undercling thing is a bit harder, but still no more than 18 and not stiff.

	20	★★ The Skink Prince (of Bel Air) - con Gareth	Deportiva 15m, 8	★ Buena
Getting really really humid early afternoon. Foot greased off the crux flake.
	18	★ Critters Corner - con Gareth	Clásica 25m	★ Buena
Committing. Up the slab solo until the corner and #1 nut. A cam behind the crux flake is avoidable with a decent blue totem in a small flaring slot at its bottom right, ball nut in a thin crack a bit below and right (didn't have any), and a nut in the flake at half height, then a stance and gear above. Top of the flake definitely flexing a little. A #4 wouldn't hurt at the top (didn't have that either).
	20	★★ Great Scott - con Gareth	Deportiva 27m, 10	★★ Muy buena
Jue 3.º Feb 2022 - Kawakawa Bay
The Point
	19	★★★ The Hecklers - con Gareth	Clásica 45m	★★★ Clásico
Bloody great. Right face could really use a scrub. Gareth seconded clean, good effort. We could see and hear Katie and Joe up at the crux on the Odyssey.
	16	★★ Super Natural - con Gareth	Clásica 45m	★★ Muy buena
Sun broke out halfway which prompted quite a speedup. Staying clean enough, though you'll always have to dig out the thin crack a little around the crux.
	18	★★ Bi-Curious George - con Gareth	Deportiva 32m	★ Buena
Gareth had a small touch-up scrub. The roof isn't the crux if you use a little brain.
	14	★★ Sunset Ledge - con Gareth	Clásica 28m	★ Buena
Lugged the trad gear out, warmup. Crack pretty clean.
Mié 2.º Feb 2022 - Kawakawa Bay
Secret Garden
	16	★ Alice In Wonderland - con Gareth	Deportiva 20m, 7	★ Buena
Did both crux variations. Right is harder than left.
	20	★★ Korimako - con Gareth	Deportiva 25m, 11	★ Buena
Unsent. Felt harder than last time, maybe humidity, maybe some crystals have ground off, maybe the different shoes, maybe just having a shit day.
	17	★★ Samurai Pizza Cats - con Gareth	Deportiva 15m, 9	★ Buena
A bit tired, drizzly morning, then dodging the sun. Rather a large bush spider in one of the holds at the lip. Fortunately there are plenty of other holds.

	22	★★★ Rohans Arete - con Gareth	Deportiva 28m, 11	★★★ Clásico
7.30pm and finally starting to cool off a bit. No warmup just punch it and milk the rests. Got a bit too focused and accidentally skipped the crux bolt. Bloody great, and off the unsent list.

Hard to believe I've never done this, it's great. The name is all the beta you need. Pitch 2 is a wee ripper, dancing up the overhanging wall on decent jugs.

Still like it. It could be cleaner at the top. Some interesting complaints from G.

Benchmark 20, if it's harder than this it's 21...

No cams used. Tricams handy to protect the top but there is probably some nut-craft available if you want to be even slower...

It's not 2 stars but it's definitely worth doing. There is sufficient gear in the "runout" cave section if you use your eyes and brain.

	20	★★ Great Scott - con Gareth	Deportiva 27m, 10	★★ Muy buena
Off the "unsent" list, and easily, retrieving Alex's draws. Two fingers and a thumb on the crystal spike provides good attitude control and lets you look around the corner for the sidepull. Gareth found some sketchy tall bastard beta to avoid the whole drama. Time to pack up.

Final morning warmup. Bloody nice.

Warmdown 2. Use the right arete at the low crux and it's on the soft side of 17.
	16	★ Sugar Rush - con Gareth	Deportiva 15m, 5	Medio
Warmdown 1. Would probably be a decent slab, but pretty dirty. Anyone want to scrub it properly?
	22	★★ Predator - con Gareth	Deportiva 12m, 5	★ Buena
Another go on top rope to try and link it. Forgot the holds around bolt 4, one sit. Will revisit.
