Routes in Polynesia for selected grade

Easy route on an obvious seacliff. Rock is OK. Acces by abseils and scramble. https://verticalpirate-escalade.com/topos-escalade/nuku-hiva-tehaatiki-a-e-maua-i-ite/

The wall to the left of the Descent line, snaking with vines and roots, was climbed in an exploratory style for potential beginners routes, but lowered off from a small tree about 9m up, unimpressed.

20m uphill from main whale wall

Have slings to extend draws on p2. When lowering off p2 be careful not to lose the wall, a 70m doubled over will NOT reach the ground with rope stretch. You must re abseil from p1 anchors to reach the ground.

Starts just right of Blade Runner in the next corner line. Easy start leads to thin crux in left facing corner up to DBB.

Long varied climbing, quite consistent at the grade. Cleaned and sanitized well, but still sharp in places. above the midway anchor, the route veers left at the top to meet the anchor of "Cosmos"

Starts a few meters to the north of Gita. P1 - start up the corner seam placing medium size wires and cams as you go. Over the bulge to double bolt belay. P2 - start up the crack placing med wires and cams. When the crack disappears keep going a few more meters to gain the double bolt belay. Rap back to P1 anchors and re- rap, a 70m doubled over with rope stretch will NOT reach the ground from P2 anchors.

Fangatave is a sport climbing area, however it would be a crime to bolt this line as it can be entirely protected with trad gear. Please respect the wishes of the first ascensionists.

Two pitches make for a long, fun route

Up and under the stalactite then up to a seam which leads to the anchor. Best to stick clip the first bolt.

The access route for the main cliff, climbs black spikey flake/groove feature up to the "Genesis Ledge". Locate a single belay bolt behind a tree growing on the ledge system at the base. The obvious crux comes at the last 2 bolts as you pull over onto the ledge.
