P1 (14) 40m Up and right on the slab will take you to the beginning of the
left leaning crack system
P2 (23) 35m Get onto the orange rock and follow 'the line' to a hanging belay
below the first overlap
P3 (24) 25m Pull the lip then power up to another hanging belay on the left
hand side of the 2nd overlap
P4 (20) 15m Takes you to a hanging belay before the grey rock
P5 (20) 40m Pull up, over and into a juggy vegetated groove that will lead
you to the summit
One rap off the south side will get you to the col below Taiaroa.

Seven superb pitches with everything you could wish for and more including: a tussock bollard belay; beautiful slabs; knife edge aretes; wild exposure; and a committing run out to finish. Descend by scrambling down the South side with one abseil to reach slabs to the east.
