Coastal Climbing

Rock Climbing
Personal

21/7
Group: Me, Jason, Ari, Chris
Location: Suicide Rock
Stopped on the side of the road to have a quick climb here, cool little spot. Did a couple of top rope climbs up the crack, a 16 and a 17? Unbolted, Chris led a climb on trad and said he didn't have a good time. Took a look at Bullock Creek, looked like incredible climbing, but there were heaps of people already there, so we moved onto...

Location: Charleston
Took a good look, first time there and it is EPIC. Went down to the North face of Sunset Rib and did a couple of climbs there on top rope again. 15 and 16? Kieran and Rob got there after their biking mission then when we ran out of light.

22/7
Group: Me, Kieran, Jason, Rob, Ari, Chris
Went back down to Charleston but the swell was MASSIVE, with nowhere dry to climb, so spent some time enjoying the scenery then moved onto...

Location: Punakaiki
Went upto ... Wall where I haven't been before for some nice 15 and 16's, but I was not having a good time, just really tired I guess, couldn't hold onto anything properly. Dogged my way up a couple of climbs. Kieran took a massive whipper on the Flight Controller Wall on a 23? when a fairly large rock came out. Rather exciting.
