The Ning Nong boulder is a small, esoteric venue located on the south-eastern coast of Palliser Bay, east of Lake Ferry at Te Humenga Point. It’s really only worth a visit if you are in the area!

A hard pull gets you to some okay holds, then an off-balance snatch puts you in sight of the mossy topout.

Climb to the rounded laybacks and then . . . you guessed it, a mossy topout. Great moves, nice holds. Almost worth the trip out.

Big bold moves above an awful landing will likely net you the best route here.
6 The Dyno V2
0
Dyno or make a static move to the mossy topout.
Kester Brown, 2003
7 The Blowright Problem V5
0
Sit start under the horizontal prow with hands on the obvious start holds. Use two opposing heel hook manoeuvres or just a slap and a pull.
