1 | 1Ringatu, 11 | 11 | 15m | ||||
An excellent route. Climb the buttress, keeping as near as possible to the crest (easier to the left). A good spike and/or nut belay at the top. |
|||||||
2 | 2Ringatu Direct, 15 | 15 | 15m | ||||
An alternate start up a steep crack with a loose block in it. |
|||||||
3 | 3Swerv, 17 | 17 | 15m | ||||
The right-hand crack and main face on the buttress. Climb the crack and overhang free then aid up the gently overhanging face above (A2). |
|||||||
4 | 4Swing, 17,A2 | 17,A2 | 15m | ||||
Start up Swerv, then move right around an edge and straight up on large holds. |
|||||||
5 | 5Tuhoe, 14 | 14 | 20m | ||||
Climb the deep groove on the right of the main buttress to near a dangerously loose block, then onto a ledge on the right. Climb the clean corner above and join Ringatu to the top. |
|||||||
6 | 6Te Kooti, 17 | 17 | 15m | ||||
Layback and jam the steep crack. Strenuous after the bulge. |
|||||||
7 | 7The Tumbler, 16 | 16 | 10m | ||||
The right-hand most line on the East Wing. A short, delicate corner problem. |
