Routes

Reference	Title	Grade	Length	Pro	Quality
	Pocky Horrow Show, 23	23	9m		1.02
P1 23 9m Trad Let’s do the time warp again. Bridge the right-facing corner with some good pock cranks and great finale. Small wires and RPs provide adequate protection. Bolt belay.
	Another Roadside Attraction, 24	24	10m		0
P1 24 10m Trad Follow the thin seam in the wall past a fixed peg and then place small wires.
13	13Das Crankenstein, 25	25	12m	4	2.01
P1 25 12m 4 Start up the angular arête from the lower ledge through a bouldery lower section, sustained through the middle.
14	14Orchestrated Litany of Lunges, 21	21	7m	3	0
P1 21 7m 3 Another Erebus reference, another great pocket sequence on the short wall and arête.
15	15Wellington Womble Route, 16	16	7m		0
P1 16 7m Trad The jagged offwidth crack wombled up by Wellingtonians now for decades.
16	16Isolation, 24	24	11m	3	1.02
P1 24 11m 3 A fantastic sequence on small pockets.
	Party Party, 24	24	10m	2	0
P1 24 10m 2 Trad From the right end of the ledge, take advantage of a thin seam (small wires) and overhanging cruxy projections. Needs a clean and a rebolt.
17	17Drips Don’t Dyno, 24	24	20m	3	0
P1 24 20m 3 Drips may have a bit of trouble with this one. The dyno at the top is fierce at the grade. Some may prefer to girdle left via the drip line but where's the fun in that?
18	18Cosmic Manifestations, 19	19	7m		0
P1 19 7m Trad The dirty corner crack to the right of Drips. Take your lichen removal device of choice.
	Atrocity Exhibition, 25	25	10m	2	0
P1 25 10m 2 The dark wall. Needs rebolting.
	Martins 29, 26	26	10m	3	1.02
P1 26 10m 3 Climb the face, using the arete where necessary.
