The Slide

Type
Sector
Part of
Mt Kaukau

Better than it sounds, apparently. The first three routes share a single bolt belay; for Charlie’s Other Route use the pine tree.

Aspect
North West
Approach

The Slide is best reached from Punk Rock: walk south-west to the next ridge and down the sheep trails until you can see the Slide in a gully on your left.

The smooth face at the right-hand end of the crag. Start below and left of the bolt, and climb direct. A little contrived – only really 19 if you stay in the middle past the bolt.
