Nodi in Waitaha / Canterbury

Hard climbing on small, slick holds. Everything you need from slabs, to overhangs, to mantles, on micro-crimps, pinches, and slopers. Lots of potential for hard problems. Where are the Christchurch crushers?

Run and jump, no hands. Marked holds only. FA done with approach shoes and a full rack of cams + nuts.

Match hands to start. Marked holds only.

EQC bouldering problems

Sit start, straight up the front door section. Very easy, a favorite downclimb to reach the ground. Even Gerry Brownlee could climb this one.

Middle of the long face. Run and jump to grab the lip and haul yourself on top.

Jump and grab the jug on the corner of the arette and haul yourself up. Front door features are out.

Up the back face of the container, jump and grab the lip and up. No arette holds.

Sit start on the back corner, dyno to the lip along the long side and up. Don't use the corner jug.

There is easy access to the top of the cliff.

40 meters up the ravine.

Looks chossy, but is solid. Interesting climbing

A squeeze route between 'Rongbuk' and 'Peggy Peggy Phew' using their bolts as protection and traditional gear.

First to Third bolt on Quacker then third and fourth on Peggy Peggy Phew then across to rongbuk then finish on the anchor for The Glimmerman

Move straight up to the third bolt then move right before finishing.

Climb left of the cave.

Move up right of the big cave.

Climb the steep and crimpy face to shared anchor with 'Leonie / I Bit My Tongue'

Stem up the corner on some insecure holds.

A nice line through the centre of the face. Bolts are really close so a great beginner top rope or a beginner lead.

Access is via a 25m abseil. There are two bolts with rusty hangers (look dodge) that are separated by more than 5m. It is possible to sling a boulder (be careful which one you choose) to back up the first bolt you encounter. Probably best to leave the rap line hanging while you are climbing. It is possible to escape via Night Moves, but this requires a lead from the anchor up moderate terrain with factor 2 potential. Best solution is to take 2 ropes + long slings + cordelette and ascending gear to climb out.
