Lower Wall

(3 routes)

The first part of the buttress you meet on the normal access route. Faces the Tasman Sea, and sits just below the obvious lower slab.

Christian channeled his inner Englishman! Not recommended. Poor protection with weird steep-ish movement on the vague blocky face, and then up the Lower Slab.

Just left of Chuffer Chimney. Pleasant laybacking up the thin flake feature for a few metres - take care to place cams where LHS flake is thickest and deepest. When the flake starts getting really thin (first ascensionist punched a good amount off), move up by sidepulling arĂȘte on right and RHS edges of crack. Join top half of Chuffer Chimney. Save a BD #4 cam for the top slab just in case something goes wrong.

Nice climbing up the chimney, and then over blockier ground, with lots of good cams throughout. Once again, save a #4 cam for the top.
