I did a guide to the crag
I did a guide to the crag several years ago, it took about five visits to make any sense of it, I climbed all the routes that were aparant and there were no real gaps. But if you disregard the routes bolted by Justin Hall ie. “I bit my tongue” which is as far as I can workout is “Leonie” and “in a rush” which is “Dirty Washing” it kind of makes sense, my interpretation started with “Small Boys” and ended at “Chinese Ladders”, 22 routes in total on the main face, there are routes on the opposite side and some further up the hill as well as some bouldering
And Port Hills Climbing has
And Port Hills Climbing has 34. But Ross, no one moderates ClimbNZ and information is not being discarded. It relies on someone posting the climbs. The ones listed are known because they are all (retro)bolted, but no one has done the others except you and me, and many people don't have access to the information.
The list of routes above has
The list of routes above has only 14 climbs, but the diagram at the top of the page has 21 climbs. The article in Climber # 22 on Albert Terrace has information on 33 climbs. Why is information being discarded from climbnz?
