Pohara - Cathedral Rock - New Climbs

 














Here are some of the approx lines of the 12 new climbs put up by visiting Italian climber Diego Depretto in January 2010.
There is some confusion since some existing lines (Joe Dirt) were partially retro bolted and lines and starts cross existing routes (Dirty Old Men*) in some cases. Until they have been climbed on more, expect some loose holds and them to be quite dirty. Suggestion : HELMET There are several climbs further left of the top photo as well around 13-15.The two aretes either side of the chimney are the hardest.
