Warm up.
|

26 | ★ Rubble Grip | 6 | ★ Buona | |||
Did it properly this time, topping out. Definitely harder than Rubble but probably not by a grade.

Warm up.
|

29 | ★★ Slurry | ★★ Molto buona | ||||
Went up to have a play and figured a few things out. Could be a contender for a winter project.

Leech Wall | ||||||
28 | ★ Intifada — 3 tentativi | 6 | ★ Buona | |||
Played around with several different ways of doing the crux, but all feel equally hard for me. Couldn’t actually connect the move today. Would love a beta lifeline for this one!
|
||||||
21 | Spanish Johnny | Media | ||||
Would rate this route as “don’t bother” if it weren’t for the upper headwall section, which is almost decent.

The Cave | ||||||
28 | ★★ Bolt Mode — 2 tentativi | ★★ Molto buona | ||||
Another one hang, just not quite matching the crux hold. Remarkably still dry!

Trickier than expected, good fun.

Quintessential pocket pulling! I really enjoyed this one, and the sunset provided a memorable backdrop.
|

Gio 30 Mag 2024 - Waipari | ||||||
Animal Biscuit Valley Little Spurt Wall | ||||||
24 | ★★ Brontosaurus Theory | 12m, 5 | ★★ Molto buona | |||
Couldn’t find the right pockets on the onsight attempt so fell at the first bolt. Lowered and then sent to the top. Quite bouldery, with everything past the first bolt being several grades easier. Still a lot of fun though!
|
||||||
Gio 30 Mag 2024 - Waipari | ||||||
Animal Biscuit Valley Bring Your Daughter Wall | ||||||
22 | ★★★ Mister Daddy Long Legs | 20m, 5 | ★★★ Classica | |||
The layback tufa is super unique, so I’ll give it 3 stars. Felt pretty easy for the grade, but maybe just suited me.
|
||||||
19 | ★★ Bring Your Daughter to the Slaughter | 25m, 8 | ★★ Molto buona | |||
Lovely warm up.

Warm Leatharête | ||||||
27 | ★★ Sumo — 2 tentativi | 25m, 8 | ★★ Molto buona | |||
Came very close to sending second go, but fell after the main crux. One hang. Would be keen to come back for it.
|

Sab 25 Mag 2024 - Hospital Flat | ||||||
Hangover | ||||||
22 | ★★ Fur Breath | 15m, 7 | ★★ Molto buona | |||
Pleasant, exposed, and somewhat pumpy.
|
||||||
23 | ★★ Pocket Edition | 15m, 5 | ★★ Molto buona | |||
Fell off the start first go, lowered and went to the top. Chossy down low, but fun through the overhang.

Lakeside Wall | ||||||
22 | ★ Carpe Diem - con Alexei Drummond | 11m, 3 | Media | |||
Pretty cruxy for a warm up.
|
||||||
25 | ★ Dodor - con Alexei Drummond | 12m, 4 | ★ Buona | |||
Took a few goes to make the feet work, but got there in the end. Actually rather fun in a manufactured rock kind of way.
|
||||||
Mer 22 Mag 2024 - Maungarei Springs | ||||||
Right Corner Wall | ||||||
25 | ★ Hrgngh Direct - con Alexei Drummond | 9m, 4 | ★ Buona | |||
Very cryptic boulder problem that I came relatively close to solving, but alas, time was short. Reminiscent of Steaming Wally at Kangaroo Point, the other dingy urban quarry crag I’m familiar with.
|

28 | ★★ Bolt Mode — 4 tentativi | ★★ Molto buona | ||||

The Cave | ||||||
28 | ★★ Bolt Mode — 3 tentativi | ★★ Molto buona | ||||
Crux feels different traversing in from Bolts. Was planning to get on Trog but it was wet and now I’m inclined to tick this one first.
|
||||||
27 | ★★ Gorilla Grip | 15m, 7 | ★★ Molto buona | |||
First time repeating Gorilla in yonks. Such a fun route.

Warm up.
|
||||||
27 | ★ He Devil — 3 tentativi | 8 | ★ Buona | |||
Quite a nice linkup actually, and harder than Gorilla alone given that it also passes the crux of Rubble. Possibly 28 but easier than She Devil in its current state, so who knows? Either way, good training for Trog!
|
||||||
Sab 4 Mag 2024 - Barnett Park | ||||||
The Cave | ||||||
29 | ★★ Attack Mode | ★★ Molto buona | ||||
First go of the day, just needed to remember the for sequence to get through the roof. Felt almost as hard as Bogus to me, although the style is quite different.
|
||||||
26 | ★ Grumble | 7 | ★ Buona | |||
Warm up.
|
||||||
27 | ★ He Devil — 2 tentativi | 8 | ||||
Something fun to play on between projects and to re-learn the top of Gorilla in preparation for Trog.

Bete Noire Wall | ||||||
23 | ★★ Bete Noire | 15m, 5 | ★★ Molto buona | |||
Felt hard in the sweaty conditions. But maybe I just suck at pockets.
|
||||||
25 | ★★★ Ma Garta La Narta | 15m, 5 | ★★ Molto buona | |||
This was a big nope for me in the sun today. Wow, I am weak on pockets.
|

Animal Biscuit Valley Little Spurt Wall | ||||||
23 | ★★ Swell | 10m, 5 | ★★ Molto buona | |||
Felt quite a bit easier than Bête Noir, but still quite good.
|
||||||
24 | ★★ Spurt | 10m, 4 | ★★ Molto buona | |||
Love the committing throw to the lip, definitely a leap of faith for me!

High point, punted off just below the anchor. Frustrating, but I think I may have sorted better beta for the top. Becoming a bit of a nemesis!

29 | ★★ Attack Mode — 3 tentativi | ★★ Molto buona | ||||
Punted above the last bolt FML! Completely changed the beta for the top but by the 3rd attempt I was already too gassed. Taking a lot longer than expected to get this one done.

The Cave | ||||||
29 | ★★ Attack Mode — 4 tentativi | ★★ Molto buona | ||||
Climbed through the crux twice only to punt off the top due to poor footwork. Trickier than expected to keep it together above the roof on red point. Still, very close!

1 hang x3, twice latched the crux slot but couldn’t quite hold it. Sorted out better foot beta to make the throw. Should have a good chance next session.

Mer 3 Apr 2024 - Barnett Park | ||||||
The Cave | ||||||
29 | ★★★ Bogus Machismo — 4 tentativi | ★★★ Mega Classica | ||||
A dream come true! Started the day with zero expectations after feeling a bit of elbow tendinitis flare up, almost didn’t have a final burn as I needed to rush home to the family, then all of a sudden I was clipping the chains! Shifting to the left knee bar at the second rest was a game changer as I could actually recover properly before the back to back cruxes at the end. Beyond stoked to have completed this milestone in my NZ climbing career!
|
||||||
26 | ★ Grumble | 7 | ★ Buona | |||
My new preferred warm up.

Fish Wall/Rhinoceros Wall | ||||||
22 | ★★ The Ground's the Limit — 2 tentativi | 12m, 3 | ★★ Molto buona | |||
First time I’m failed to onsight or flash a 22 in ages. Pretty stiff, off balance crux. A nice line though, worth a lap.
|
||||||
26 | ★ Berlin Wall | ★ Buona | ||||
Utterly minging! Might be possible with a local anaesthetic to numb the pain in the fingers.
|
||||||
23 | ★ Black Eyed Beauty | 14m, 4 | ★ Buona | |||
Better than expected, worth doing.
|
||||||
19 | ★ Rhinoceros | 15m | ★ Buona | |||
Hard warm up!
|
||||||
24 | ★★★ Subliminal Seducer | ★★ Molto buona | ||||
Classic Paines pumper, with a bit of excitement at the top.
|
||||||
24 | ★★ Jive Bombing | ★★★ Classica | ||||
A stonking traversing pitch that feels long and is worthy of more attention.
|
||||||
21 | ★★★ Headcase | ★★★ Classica | ||||
Best stalagtite climbing this side of South East Asia! Very unique pitch and full value for the grade.
|

Dom 31 Mar 2024 - Paynes Ford | ||||||
Globe Wall | ||||||
27 | ★★ Creative Confusion — 3 tentativi | |||||
Got it all worked out, but proved to be a bit too juiced for the send. One to come back for!
|
||||||
25 | ★★★ Feeling Lucky Punk? — 2 tentativi | 15m, 3 | ★★★ Classica | |||
Second go of the trip, fifth overall. Felt cruisy on the send, but it’s a pretty intense little number that’s basically my anti style.
|
||||||
25 | ★★★ Super Arette — 2 tentativi | ★★★ Classica | ||||
Got the proper Dave’s Arête experience, punting from the finishing hold on the flash attempt and taking the whinger. Went down easily second go once I knew where the holds were.

Reckon I got it all figured out, basically comes down to 2 hard moves. Will be my secondary project after Bogus.
|

26 | ★ Gorgonzola — 2 tentativi | 18m, 5 | ||||
Another FA I’ve been fortunate enough to nab with minimal work, thanks to the generosity of friends. Not a great route tbh, but it’s got some good sequences. Pity about the ledge halfway though, otherwise would be a very good and sustained line.

Mer 13 Mar 2024 - Barnett Park | ||||||

To the chains with 3 sits, each time doing the subsequent moves first go after a rest. Need to start making more links, but the beta is pretty well dialled.
|
||||||
26 | ★ Grumble — 2 tentativi | 7 | ★ Buona | |||
A quality linkup, and would make a good warm up as it’s less fingery than Rubble.
