5bolts
5 bolts and pohutukawa belay, an unusual looking groove with bolts on the right wall. Scramble to the ledge at the base of the groove then climb up the groove, which is steeper than it looks and at the 4th bolt step onto the wall. Continue up past 5th bolt to tree belay. For an easier option, climb just left of the last two bolts at about grade 17

Climb the block for 3m, then up the chimney to the chockstone below the bulge. Over the bulge and up to easier but poor rock. A good belay can be hard to arrange.

To the right of Shenzy, ascend the crack to a grassy ledge and belay right on the rib.
