Looks like couple crimps have broken off just before you get into the crack?

This has likely been climbed by someone else before - but thought it worth recording for interest.

Warm up lap to get gear sorted on Gruse.
|
|||||||
26 | ★★ Gruse Power | 14m | ★★ Very Good | ||||
Done on pre-placed gear, so could have been better style and maybe I’ll return for a proper red point one day. Gear would be finicky to place on lead, but possible. I climbed to the right of the topo line, not sure how most do it. It’s easier this way, but also protectable without top roping half the route or soloing. Happy to subtract a point or two, as it’s still a cracker of a line.

Got it all sorted, gear included. Will be back soon to lead.

24 | ★★ Trivial Pursuit | 12m | ★★ Very Good | ||||
Some good moves in there, but would be quite dangerous to lead so will probably be happy with a TR ascent.

Still a quality line.

Warm up.

25 | ★★ Barking Up The Wrong Tree | 11m, 1 | ★ Good | ||||
Got up to the bolt fairly easily this time, but still haven’t sorted the mantle.
|
|||||||
26 | ★★ Gruse Power | 14m | ★★ Very Good | ||||
Got it mostly worked out but still stumped at one move. Very stiff for 26, even on TR! Will be interesting to figure out how to protect it.
|
|||||||
21 | ★ Here Until The Next 1 | 2 | ★ Good | ||||
Actually really fun once you figure out how to protect the start. Nice latter day addition.

24 | ★★ Sheltered Childhood — 3 attempts | 14m | ★★★ Classic | ||||
Quite a unicorn for NZ: an actual crack, with actual jams, good rock, and no bolts. Packs a lot into 14m! Will be back for the proper red point, gear is good but sometimes finicky.

Wow, I was not expecting to pull this one off today, thought I’d start working it as a winter project. Had the first bolt pre-clipped so could have been better style, but I don’t really care tbh. Awesome moves the whole way, what I’d expect Peak District grit to be like.

Climbed through the crux smoothly only to fall at the top on sun greased slopers. Will return in better conditions!

22 | ★ The Fearnley Phenomenon | 9m | ★ Good | ||||
A decent variation, but wouldn’t want to fall from the top on lead.

Not the best style, but the gear is quite finicky and felt heads up to place on lead. Happy with the pink point for now, but may be back to do it properly.

Powerful crack climbing, brilliant and very much a unicorn for the Port Hills. Good gear but also rather finicky in places.
|
|||||||
23 | ★★ Go - with Richard Flinn | 12m | ★★ Very Good | ||||
Almost flashed on TR, had one fall coming out of the pod. Really fun climbing, quite keen to return to lead this one.
|
|||||||
23 | ★★ Enfant Terrible - with Richard Flinn | 14m | ★ Good | ||||
Top rope tough guy day, sussing out some new lines for future headpoints. Adequate gear on this one, but quite finicky so hard to place on lead.

20 | ★★ Winters Road - with Richard Flinn | 14m | ★★ Very Good | ||||
Took a lot of goes to tick this one on lead, and I still didn’t properly red point it! Felt hard given my rusty thrutching skills and the finicky gear at the crux. I didn’t know routes like this one existed in NZ, I’m stoked!
|
|||||||
25 | ★★ Barking Up The Wrong Tree - with Richard Flinn | 11m, 1 | ★ Good | ||||
Wow this thing feels nails! Very techy and balancey, with a burly crux. Epitomises bouldering on a rope. Looking forward to putting it together.
|

21 | Bolted Boulder - with Richard Flinn | 5m, 1 | Average | ||||
A fun boulder problem, but hard to give it a star given the short length and lack of an anchor.

Took a few goes to sort out the beta. Initially felt very hard, but on the send was almost trivial. Hard to grade. Probably a V3 boulder problem, quite balancey and sequential.
|

15 | ★ Cobweb - with Richard Flinn | 9m | ★ Good | ||||
Another gooder.

Fell at the bottom, lowered, and sent to the top placing gear. A hard boulder on hand jamBs and a committing top on RPs. What’s not to like?
|
|||||||
16 | ★ Womble Brothers - with Tony Burnell | 9m | ★ Good | ||||
Quite good, and thinky for the grade.
|

18 | ★ Wreck On The Highway - with Tony Burnell | 9m | ★ Good | ||||
A bit like gritstone. Plug in a cam or two midway then run it out to the top.
