Ascensions dans Ōtākou / Otago

Very good climbing but didn't let me take tick! First pitch solid in the grade

Nice climbing throughout. Linked pitches 1 and 2.

All depends on how willing you are to get to this climb. Awesome backdrop and pretty good climbing. Route finding and bush bashing skills required. The approach was 5x harder than the climbing. Take heaps of water or drink heaps before the climb, you do cross a stream at one point. Wouldn't recommend on a hot summers day. Started too late, Had to bail at 5th pitch as we were running out of light. Got lost heading back down in the dark. Take gloves for bush bashing or you will regret it. From water tank follow slight trail, few rock cairns here and there, bush bashed through the last part, no trail imo. 23 feels more like 22 not sure Good luck

got a little of track . did third pitch as "Excursion" ended up a little harder than expected. slowed us down wanted to get out earlier so left the last pitch. Also last pitch didn't seem worth it. The Previous two before the last pitch were average at best. not a two start climb.

Only did the 2nd pitch after completing, Get up, Stand up. Super fun and exposed moves getting to the roof!

Great route, not the mega-classic we were hoping for. The first pitch is quite technical, but pulling through the top roof section is awesome.

Unfortunately a lot of vegetation which detracted from the climb. If you go I would recommend taking a wire brush and making a day of it to clean it up. I was not aware of its current state otherwise would have done so myself. Not sure I will get the chance again before I go home. Would be a nice climb if cleaned properly. The second pitch is one of the scariest leads I have ever done. Thin and tricky gear the whole way. Had to sit a couple of times. Third pitch was the best in my opinion with great climbing and good gear, though a small amount of vegetation in the crack detracted from the quality.

Super cool tour, be careful with the descent.

Epic time, found the route thanks to notes from a friend and Eric's excellent navigation. Didn't climb fast enough to do the whole route, Pitch 2 was my favourite, varying from "this is the greatest climb of my life" as I went under the roof and round the corner, to 5 metres later "this is the worst route of my life" as I dropped Eric's carabiner while trying to navigate round the crack tree. Super hang dog on Pitch 4 for bolt / unrelenting section. Lots of debate about which way to go in Pitch 2 and 3 . Beautiful text book crack on start of Pitch 4.

Led first 4 pitches and turned back...
