Ascensioni in Tāmaki-makau-rau / Auckland come Tick

Grabbed the 3rd draw, immediately got off it, but won't count as red point.

Working on the moves to traverse left. Layback then moving to the left hold seems impossible right now, but probably due to bad feet placement.

I don’t understand why the bolts were placed so low if the original beta was using the top edge. Is this grade 24ish if using the face? The top section is great though! Not sure if the ledges on the right are in though.

Fell on the first attempt of the crux, then did it immediately. Just need to get that footwork nailed.

Got it all, getting to jug was relatively straight forward, although couldn't remember the higher footwork. Took a couple of attempts to get the bridge to layback going, but nice high 3rd clip.

Got the top move, tough with the top wet, but did have a quick rest on the top bolt before getting it.

That top is pretty legit, may look at upgrading to 19. Need to install anchors, and may put sport route up the slab to the left and share the anchors. Had to get lowered onto the ledge, but no falls or rests on the rope. Top of the crack also needs a clean, ferns make it hard to fist jam or place cams .

Mega fun. Try not to go to the left of the arete.

Repeat

Repeat! Cleaning

Every move cleanly, grabbed the 3rd quickdraw to clip it, and continued to the finish.

Some moss in crack, still a classic!

Brittle and dusty. If all else fails mix trad it up the bolt line, like I did.
