Sea Breeze, 18 | 18 | 15m | ||||
Destroyed in the 2011 earthquake. Climbed a line up the centre of Watchtower Face, starting on large sloping holds then in a right-slanting groove line with good incut holds. Rather serious – some of the holds in the second half could come off and the runners were extremely poor. |
||||||
The Zephyr, 19 | 19 | 15m | ||||
Destroyed in the 2011 earthquake. A deceptively steep climb up the right side of Watchtower Face, unprotected and loose. |
||||||
Gurgle, 12 | 12 | 0m | ||||
Destroyed in the 2011 earthquake. Mildly devious line up right edge of face with climbing almost as good as the name. |
