Trad 110m Arapiles Very Good Fri 4th Nov 2022
Finally, a nice day! Got a bit off route to the Siren P1 ledge, then wound up belaying a bit high on the arete. P4 is the business. Watched a general military training clusterfuck in progress on and above Hot Flap. Somebody is gonna die if they keep that shit up.

Trad 50m Arapiles Good Sat 27th Apr 2024
10 The Minstrel Trad 20m Arapiles Average Fri 10th Apr 2015
Onsight. Took the left hand start up the overhung juggy arete and undercling traverse. Somewhat more disturbing to downclimb that but sucked it up. I blame Magnus.

 
10 The Leaden Echo - with Grant Johnston, shichang Trad 78m Arapiles Don't Bother Wed 3rd May 2017
Just the first pitch, access to Nativity after rapping down Touchstone. Excellent full body action from Grant.

 
10 Hooptedoodle Slab Trad 7m Kawakawa Bay Don't Bother Sun 27th Jan 2019
An exploratory mission. You wouldn't think a grade 10 slab could be scary, but it's covered in lichen and loose bits of rock and there is pretty much no worthwhile gear. Don't think Rob was very happy on lead. Maybe an option if it was clean, but you're probably a lot better off climbing Irrelephant (the flaring 15) to gain the upper tier.
