Climb the vegetated groove (or better still climb the start of Mischmasch/Jabberwocky) then the blocky corner to gain a slopey ledge. Layback or jam the corner crack and belay as for Progressive Green or Shocking Blue (it might be easiest for the belayer to second the pitch). There is a second pitch, which is dirtier and more vegetated. Better than Graeme’s routes at Titahi Bay!
