Ascensioni in Ngā Kohatu Whakarakaraka o Tamatea Pōkai Whenua / The Port Hills come vari tipologie

very stretchy, and lots of balance required, but worth it!

Lives up to its name! Very nearly sent, fell at the last possible move. Would be easier without hanging the draws!

Really good. Sustained.

Great sustained route. Technical traverse on marginal footholds. Excellent crack line above the bolts.

high first bolt, and tricky onsighting holds through the second crux

One attempt, too damn cold and windy to feel my fingers or to get them warmed up. Would like to come back for this one. It's quite spicy and has some of the better rock around.

Tricky at the start. Trad section is about grade 17 or 18

Climbed clean through the crux of Raj but couldn’t for the life of me figure out how to climb the arête direct while staying off of the two adjacent routes. Ended up finishing up Raj instead.

Awesome route, though the first bolt is ridiculously high (I stick clipped it from the ledge halfway). Hard technical moves past the 3 bolts then nice climbing with very good gear. The steep bit of crack at the top is intimidating, I rested on gear, but I'd like to have another go to get it clean.

Very cool delicate climbing - unfortunately the wind got a little bit too wild for me. Would be very fun to get back on.

Hardish move above bolt, very cool moves through bulge

Not sure I even did all of the moves, and the line is not much to look at,

Lots of chossy rock

Got the crux sorted, but ran out of beans at the end of the day. Will be back for this one!

Wasn't sure where to go at second bolt so I traversed into the climb to the left. Turns out I should've mantled onto the grassy ledge!

Start is hard as nails, or I missed something. Had to pull through it

Working route, slightly cleaned it up top. Bottom section good

Finally unlocked the crux, which is extremely thin and fingery. Will come back with some trad gear and have a proper crack soon. 25 in Tony’s guide, which seems accurate. Certainly a harder crux than other 25s at Lyttelton.

Got scared/pumped trying to get gear in above bolt, so retreated to the corner to the right.

Wow this thing feels nails! Very techy and balancey, with a burly crux. Epitomises bouldering on a rope. Looking forward to putting it together.

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

Got up to the bolt fairly easily this time, but still haven’t sorted the mantle.
