Right of Crab Slab.
Challenging climbing on small holds up to the 2nd bolt gives way to easier climbing up anchor.

This trad route runs up the prominent crack line to the right of Route 5. Build an anchor at the top by slinging a block or walk over and use the anchors for Routes 4 and 5.

Follow the track at the bottom of the crag to the right for 10m and you will find Route 7.
Climb up to the ledge, move right and climb over the small roof, some tricky moves required to clear the roof.

The route climbs the blank face on small holds. The crux moves are found at about the third bolt. Sling the tree for an anchor or use the single bolt with a shackle. Probably would be easier to walk off this route.

The Route can be found hidden in the trees directly opposite Rarangi wall.
Climb the obvious line up and around the semi detached Blocks. Lower of the tree at the top or walk off. A pretty awful route really
