The often damp roof and its environs. Once the place to hang around, before the discovery of the Cave in Barnett Park on the other side of the hill.

There has been an extra bolt added to the top of Jug Jockey recently. A concerned local has decided it was needed. No attempt was made to see if the first ascensionist agreed with the addition of an extra bolt. Maybe the person that added the extra bolt, could add a handhold of a suitable size? Last year the same discussion took place about adding extra bolts to existing climbs. Some historical routes demand a different level of mental strength. Protection on older climbs should remain as when climbed at the time of the 1st ascent. It is great when the fixed protection is upgraded and that is happening in the Port Hills. In my opinion, older routes should be rebolted, not retrobolted.

Jug jockey. The move from the first bolt no longer leads to a "huge hold." That is long gone. It now leads to a very modest hold. Just saying.

What's the climb inbetween Frank's in a Frenzy and Art for Arts Sake? Starting by fighting over the bulge and then into a little crimpy section which is followed by jugs to the top finishing next to A4A?
