Routes

Reference	Title	Grade	Length	Pro	Quality
	Collector, 18	18	8m		1.02
The left facing corner, with small gear down low and a tree belay. P1 18 8m Trad
47	47Jim Takes A Tumble, 24	24	10m	4	1.02
P1 24 10m 4 The short wall left of Moss Corner. Despite the gorse at the top this is worth doing, as it is the hardest of all the Jim Collins routes and the first route at the Bay (and possibly in New Zealand) to have bolts!
48	48Moss Corner, 18	18	10m		2.01
P1 18 10m Trad Another of the original routes from Graeme Dingle and Eric McMahon’s inaugural visit in March 1971. It was probably as dirty then as it is now, so think of yourself as a pioneer 40 years too late. Climb the corner from the boulder up the widening finger crack.
49	49Jim Takes A Booma Gutsa, 23	23	16m	4	1.02
P1 23 16m 4 The looming wall right of Moss Corner and perhaps the most overhanging of all the Jim Collins routes.
50	50Dr Funkenclimb, 22	22	15m	3	1.02
P1 22 15m 3 A wee way to the first bolt, then up the overhang through a bouldery sequence. Originally finished on gear up Orm to the right, but can be finished around arête picking up final bolt of JTABG.
51	51Orm, 18	18	15m		0
P1 18 15m Trad The corner to the right. Take a medium–large cam for the upper crack.
	Ludovico Technique, 22	22	10m	3	0
P1 22 10m 3 Trad Just up around the corner from Orm is this overhanging short wall (small cam) with a steep slab above.
	50 Dean Street, 17	17	18m		0
To access this route, you and your belayer will need to climb Moss Corner then following the magical rock corridor that leads to a hidden wall high on Whekenui. P1 17 18m Trad The low angle groove on the left end of the wall leads to a nice layback finger crack. Finish right.
	Dr Funkenteleckisteinitis , 26	26	17m	3	0
To access this route, you and your belayer will need to climb Moss Corner then following the magical rock corridor that leads to a hidden wall high on Whekenui. P1 26 17m 3 The direct start to Funkentelecky involves some cranky moves on small pockets.
	Funkentelecky, 23	23	17m	2	1.02
To access this route, you and your belayer will need to climb Moss Corner then following the magical rock corridor that leads to a hidden wall high on Whekenui. P1 23 17m 2 Climb the angled arete just left of Ego Trip. Exit past the stepped roof.
	Ego Trip, 19	19	15m		1.02
To access this route, you and your belayer will need to climb Moss Corner then following the magical rock corridor that leads to a hidden wall high on Whekenui. P1 19 15m Trad Fun climbing up the cracked slab. The anchor is hiding in the trees above the wall.
	Hidden Agendas, 19	19	18m	7	1.02
P1 19 18m 7 Up the long fixed rope right of The Ludovico Technique. Climb the wall on small holds, around a bulge and finish on an easy slab right to the top of the cliff.
