A great find from Mike Rockell. Start at the top of Hone Puta Inaianai. Climb the pleasant slab to gain the honeycomb wall. There are no bolts on this section so be careful (or take a medium cam and stuff it in one of the pockets). After a breather, tackle the steep bulge and pumpy headwall above. It is possible to climb Hone Puta Inaianai and Hoover Hog as one long pitch if you have a 70 metre rope. Either way, the route deserves more traffic.
