22 ★ Carpe Diem 11m, 3 — Good
Nailed the crux first attempt, stepped straight up and threw for higher hold then traversed. — with Eric Horn
21 ★★ Short But Tall 10m, 4 — Very Good
Just got it, throw for the last hold, but stuck it. — with Eric Horn
19 ★ Level Three 11m, 5 — Good
More of the choss has worn off, much more enjoyable. Laid back off the edge for the first section, and some very nice moves to finish on the direct line. — with Eric Horn
19 ★ Rock Climb This You Bastards 12m, 6 — Very Good
Grabbed the 3rd draw, immediately got off it, but won't count as red point. — with Eric Horn
18 ★★ A Carp Died for This Climb 11m, 4 — Very Good
Da classic, did some different step ups on the lower crux. — with Eric Horn
18 ★★ Scrack 12m, 6 — Classic
Direct finish rather than stepping right, got the foot work and body position nailed and it was easy. — with Eric Horn
17 ★ Urban Route 5.5 12m, 5 — Very Good
Great to get back on it, more direct start. — with Eric Horn

15 ★ My Foot Slipped 10m — Good
Lol my foot literally did slip while climbing [dusty] somehow held on [mostly through forearm skin lol]. — with Eric Horn
23 ★ Snap Back Crackalack 12m, 4 — Good — Suggested grade 24
Feels pretty hard for a 23, the holds are degrading so may be making it harder lol. — with Eric Horn

19 ★ Liang Fen Liangfen 12m — Good
Got the move dialled, step up with the left, then push in and up with the right hand, then reach for the sky, noice! — with Eric Horn
19 ★ Te mokomoko o Maungarei 14m — Very Good
Abseiled in and cleared the blocks between the anchors of this and Canadian Summer. Also some of the choss further down. Easily my best ascent of Te mokomoko, nailed the hand jams, and got a nice layback near the top. Much easier without drill dust coating everything . — with Eric Horn
19 ★★ Peanut Butter Jam 10m — Very Good
Higher lower jam works better, there's a lower one, but it's a bit iffy. — with Eric Horn

20 ★ His 12m, 2 — Very Good
Good to get back on it, Pete did it on gear only, which makes sense if you're following the left crack. Gerald went direct on the bolts [i.e. more right]. — with Gerald Lanning
17 ★ Fremantle 11m, 1 — Very Good
Good fun, to check out His and Hers. — with Gerald Lanning
16 ★ Climbing Cracks in the Sun 14m — Good
Great to get back on it clean, offset went well in that constricting crack. — with Gerald Lanning
19 ★★ Peanut Butter Jam 10m — Very Good
Found a second hand jam in the lowerpart of the crack [where I have sometimes put a cam]. Fantastic, just place a #3/4 higher to avoid blocking it. — with Matt
