23 Sneakeasy Sport 11m, 3 Mt. Eden Quarry Good Wed 9th Dec 2015
1st 23 lead woohoo. Never got it clean on top rope, lead certainly sharpened the focus. All went smoothly, didn't clip the 3rd bolt until established on the top jug. Last climb at the quarry for 2015.

 
23 Rise Of The Sloths Sport 25m Kawakawa Bay Very Good Sun 24th Jan 2021
Gotcha! Just a bit different after ManBearPig. Avoided drifting right to the tempting thin horizontal crack at the start, that just sets you up for a really tenuous wide move left. Stayed just a whisker left of the bolts the whole way from the start, on smaller holds, but smaller moves are required. Linked into P2, got all crossed up and made that harder than necessary. A happy ending to a good trip in excellent company.

 
23 Opel - with Fletcher Sport 8m, 3 Waipari Sun 1st Aug 2021
Couldn't get off the ground. Nice send from Fletcher.

 
23 The Wrath of God - with Greg Sport 25m, 7 Waipari Sat 2nd Apr 2022
On top rope. Nice bottom slab, defeated by the pocket-pull in the middle. Probably do-able, if I enjoyed working routes.

 
23 Flight Of The Pachyderm - with Grant Johnston Sport 40m, 9 Kawakawa Bay Good Tue 23rd Apr 2019
Had a go on Donovan's draws. Nice 17-ish slabbing until the first overhang, then shut down trying to get past that. Well protected to work the overhang. Beyond me right now.

 
23 Kaa's Kingdom - with Greg, Gareth Sport 18m, 10 Kawakawa Bay Good Fri 15th Apr 2022
Top rope fail and lower, couldn't stand up off the crux crimps. But getting up to there is pretty neat. Stiffer shoes with a lower profile toe might help.
