Steve skips a few moves of Beautiful Edges (V4) on this warm winters day. This is a great place to throw down and wonder around the top of Spittle Hill as there are heaps of problems to play on. Check out the mantel warm up boulder on the bottom R of this photo and go solo the (13) slabs (top L) for a bit of spice! Photo by Mick Wells

This is as far as we got. As the weather moved in we moved out, and missed out on the final three pitches. 'The Ravages of Time' is One of the best and longest climbs on the Otago schist. It's a well bolted adventure climb and the last three pitches are supposed to be the best! Photo: Ross Padget

This is Steve pulling on porcelin. Its a sick route full of heal hooks and rests. We stayed at the Ski Park across the river and rowed canoes to the crag everyday. Not bad for Boganville... Photo: Jules

Here is a bum shot of John starting up the amazing line that is Conquistador, 40 m 21. to the right of Conquistador is Devils Dihedral, probably the best 20 at Frog. To the right of that is the double crack corner capped by a thin roof move that is the 23 test piece, Deliverance. All these routes were freed by Henry Barber in '75.

This is the highest point at Mt Buffalo, The Horn. I took this picture from Big Fun (15) as the subject, Ben soaked up a beautiful 16 seam ("The best toute I've ever climbed!") just below Peroxide Blond. They're a couple of great introductory routes to the climbing at the Mount.

This route starts as a chimney, narrows to an off-width, then fists, consticts to big hands through the bulge, and finaly finishes on perfect jams. Its lack of face holds leaves those who can't jam hanging and aiding. This is a photo me trying not to break a sweat. Photo by Canadian Jocelin.

Two Americans and a POM go trad climbing in Wanaka New Zealand, only to find bolted cracks. We used the cams anyways! This is a fun 17 route with an exciting 16 traverse to finish. Get on the Harder stuff to the right for some of the best rock in Wanaka!
