Cartoon Wall

This climb is to the left of the prominent arête and starts down low at the beginning of the track to Cartoon wall. Head up the blocky crack then step onto the face using the magic foot hole (you will see it), pull up onto the slab (crux) and head on up.

On the left side of the arete down low is a slab (halfway up Magilla Gorilla but accessed via the track). The big open book slab is Easter Blues Direct. Pinky and the Brain is the next slab 2m left again).

World domination awaits – just don’t let your feeble-minded belayer hold you back! Climb to the apex of the slab, then pinch the flake and move right onto the arete using the undercling. Slap up to the block above and climb the sloping ramp, finishing at the anchor for Magilla Gorilla. The climb that keeps on giving (in the nicest possible way).

Up the open book slab. The first crux is after clipping the 2nd bolt. Yes, use that crappy little toe hold out right. Mantle onto the ramp. From here the moves are relatively easy, but the scare factor goes up. After the 4th bolt, move left under the roof and around the slight overhang to the ramp above then swing onto the arete (second crux) and up to the anchor, shared with Danger Mouse and Jitterbug Perfume.

The original line, Easter Blues (Jeremy Strang, 1987), was named in memory of Grant Crumpton and Donald Hollows, who passed away on Tititea • Mt Aspiring in the Easter of 87. The new bolts take a more direct line, hence the new name.

Climb the open book corner as for Easter Blues to the fourth bolt. Where this line traverses left, tackle the roof directly for some powerful moves past the next two bolts. Rejoins Easter Blues Direct at the last bolt for an easy slab finish to the belay.

Scramble up left, and underneath Danger Mouse to a ledge with a belay bolt. Climbs up the first three bolts via some vertical rails with techy layaways. Mantle past the third bolt for an easy groove to finish.

Either belay from the track or solo up to the tree and belay from there. Climb the twin crack through the roof (easier than it looks). Then head up the slab above, varying left when your feet are level with the 4th bolt. Finish at the break in the prominent arête two thirds of the way up.

To the left of the large graffitied block is a crack/corner that is above a smaller block with an old blue sling around it. Some nice bridging moves to a small ledge on top of the big block where there is a DBB.

Possibly the nicest of the climbs on this part of the wall, with some lovely delicate moves.

Straight up the face. Crux is a delicate move after clipping the first bolt, then it gets easier. After the fourth bolt it runs out (to keep it interesting) and then clips the last bolt of Muttley’s Delight before finishing at the shared belay.

Up the small ramp and onto the face. Easier going slightly right at crux 4th bolt. Finish up the small arête/block.

Climb up the dynamite drill hole, then pull onto the slab and finish using the last bolts and DBB of Roadrunner.

A nice beginners lead slab. The crux is around the second bolt.
