Creese Wall

Fun climbing on good holds until some tricky slopey moves leap out to surprise you near the end.

One of the first climbs at Paines and an obligatory classic. A tricky bulge, then up to an exhilarating top-out.

One of Hobie's stories. A fiery little number up the arete. Start from a mono to an edge for the first clip, into some reachy moves with tenuous feet and then easing off for the finish.

The obvious groove that is overcome with crafty bridging. Step left to the bolt and take on the juggy finish.

Start in the scoop as for Re-election Blues then climb the short wall above.

Excellent for your first grade 14. It's long and well-protected with groovy moves at the third bolt.

A short juggy arete.

Many claim to have seen him. Quite delightful.

Moderate climbing accumulates to become quite a pumpfest. Start from Bite My Chunk and drift left to share the anchor with Elvis Lives in Takaka.

Looks a bit dodgy due to the bulge out right and also a bit contrived as the bulge is not meant to be used, but the climbing above is worth it.

Climb the slab, commit to a couple of moves over the bulge and good holds will come your way. Don't forget your garlic.

Climb diagonally right to the ledge, then straight up. Used to need thread runners – they're now optional.

Start as for Gorgonzola Goes, but head right.

A steep start past the hole then move over the bulge and onto the slab.

A bit tricky to clip the first bolt, then cranky moves over the bulge to a positive pocket.

A really good climb with excellent potential for getting yourself wedged. Casual slab up to the chain.

A fun, juggy and steep start to a fingery crux past the second bolt. Most enjoyable.

A long, exhilarating number. Start just right of the Tongue in Groove hole and traverse right past Sweet Dreams. Climb past the hole, over the bulge and to the top of the wall.

The left side of the Rawhide roof, past a ledge with a small cam to the steep face above. Eventually the terrain becomes nice and slabby.

The Rawhide roof is an impressive feature with crazy rounded jugs. The holds are large but the climbing is steep and pumpy. Boulder out to a rest just after the first bolt (or stick clip) and charge up the roof. Don't lose it on the slab, it's still pretty tricky.

From the first bolt of Rawhide, go right through the big roof. Follow the slab and arete past the lip.

Start on the block at the back of the roof (one metre left of the big boulder) and exit to the lip the easiest way possible.

Burly bouldering. Start on the block at the back of the roof and head directly out on good but spaced holds.
