Tucked in a corner at the far left of the wall in behind some shrubbery. Either climb the tree and dyno for the jug, traverse in from 'TEC' or (now much harder) grovel up on decaying, suspect holds (which seem to be dropping off with alarming regularity). Then up the steepening wall on good jugs to an eyebolt belay on the left slab. Very pumpy.

Start up as for Environment Centre, but from the ledge tend right to clip the first bolt, then up past second bolt to end at eyebolt belay on Supressed Personalities. Not as easy as it looks.

About 3m right of previous climb. Up the bulging wall (preferably without using the battered tree) to jugs and crack. Proceed using holds on right up past peg, this is last good (?!) runner for a while. Continue slightly left to top. Eyebolt belay. The start is strenuous and upper section pumping. Good route, if somewhat serious.

An aid route up "a poxy groove that will one day be freed by some spoon with no taste or self-respect." Up a crack then R to 2nd bolt of Smash Palace. Continue R horizontally to bolt on Rage Sur La Plage and rappel off. Knifeblades, skyhook, wires.

An awesome looking route, but not too bad due to a profusion of jugs. Start up a thin crack to a rest on the ledge. Follow the arching line leftwards until it becomes horizontal, then up over the roof and continue up the easier wall to the top. Sustained, but technically about 21. Initially featured a long runout to the top above cams placed under the arch, but recently retrobolted with the approval of the first ascentionist.

Winds its way up wall up right of BODIES. Provides more climbing than the average Christchurch classic. Start as for A.I. to ledge, moves right past flake to the second bolt then straight up to the third. Trend left then straight up to a crack/flake where gear can be placed. Continue straight up to the top. Double bolt belay over the top. There's also a separate direct start hidden in the trees, with an extra bolt.
