攀登 in Te Waipounamu / The South Island having 攀爬攻略

Body was pretty thrashed after the manual labour yesterday, but still managed to sort out some new beta for the bottom and top.

x2, warm up and warm down.

Fell at the crux going for a hold that wasn't a hold... Fun climb though!

Picked a slightly harder line than the normal one, going a bit further right on the slab. Went right again from the belay on the ledge to go up some more slabs and then a chimney between Delta and Epsilon.

Variation on the first pitch was a grade 17ish slab, including a pretty spicy swing I was happy Gareth led, and a 30m runout.

The second pitch was probably a stiff 15 (but super fun climbing the whole time). Fun scramble to the top, took us to the slabs of the NE Ridge

pumpy

Did it again on lead.

Great climb. Maybe a bit soft for the grade. Bolts are a bit spaced.

Sustained! Questionable rock. Broke a foothold and a handhold at the crux

Tough with a big pack!

Cool exposed corner up high, but questionable rock.

Great climb.

The climb is ok but the position of the anchor is really bad, the worst archor position ever. The climb should end at the same face not at the far back slap. So much rope drag. Very painful to clean.

Really good climb

Last climb of the date, tired. Nothing particular hard, just need to know the hold.

More like a hard 20 to me...

One rest on the overlap other than that all clean. Hopefully next time. Crimps carved out by jesus himself

Pumpy but good

Hard boulder crux off the ground. Fairly cruisy and techy from there.

Onsight attempt went so well - sat once after the whip. Steadily got worse, should go next session.

Warm up. Fell once. Clean from there. Will try again as my warm up again.

Cool moves down low

Full heartbreaker crux at the top

Good fun! gets burley at the top

First two pitches were good but we got a bit off route and missed the crux pitch by going too far left. Had another two pitches at a pretty solid 16 through a chimney & ledge system and then simulled through easy terrain to the top.

One stellar section was a hand crack for about 30m at about grade 15, but the rest was kinda average.

Really cool climb! End is nails

Cannot do the crux move and too tired to clip the last bolt....

Fell both try before the last bolt..

Weird climb have to move left and right on slippy sloper

Repeat warm up

Felt much easier this time being able to use ally fingers on my hand and no splits. Great route

Thought this was an awesome route, thin holds at times with some cool moves. Did It in two parts, hopefully will go next time

Seems very beta intensive. Basically a dyno crux then a technical crux. Could well be 24

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.

A quality linkup, and would make a good warm up as it’s less fingery than Rubble.

Warm up.

Cruxy

friendly fun route

Underrated!

Great route. Got too pumped after clipping the 4th bolt and couldn't recover

Felt harder than last time!

Grabbed the last draw to clip, in a moment of weakness

Brutal. Kept falling off and hanging in space 😆

Nice, with a tricky crux
