Outrageous looking route. Has it had much attention?

Yes quite a few people have tried but been unable to repeat it to date.Top NZ climber Derek Thatcher has been working it for a while Nick Sutter who did some hard Arapiles Routes like Punks and Lord of the Rings been unable to do it. A young swiss? guy was working it recently and quite close.Eric gave it 31/8b but who knows...

Would vote five, but the trouser crime takes one point off for me! ;)

It needs to be done!! A mere 8b, FFS that's flashing territory....in theory!
Could the top mantle be harder than A Little Perculiar E6 7b at the Roaches?

it may just get 8b but remember this is castle hill... pretty unique.

How old is this pic???? Cos the shoes, leggings and chalk bag all look a tad historical...

Eric climbed it in 1991 so it is a tad dated and as I say yet to be repeated.

Wow. This looks absolutely brilliant. A series of big locks on pockets and a gnarly looking finish (which looks akin to Nuit Du Lezard).

Is the grass really that colour in NZ?
