Significant sends at Turakirae Head
Sep 2021
After on-and-off again trying Agent Orange (V11) for a while, Lans Hansen showed us what his lock down training was all about. He sent pretty quickly after we were allowed out again and agrees with the suggest upgrade (John Palmer – sandbagger extraordinaire); and Lans would know, he went down south and ticked a whole…
Aug 2021
Just before lockdown hit and put an end to any further sendage Rob Gajland managed to link the Allison Wonderland start into Speed Addict: Overdose. He’s proposing V12 for the climb.
Jul 2021
July had another big first ascent: This time it was George Sanders sending his long term project of linking Allison Wonderland (V11) into Musashi (V10). He is proposing V13 for Sasaki. That side of the cave seems to be getting more attention these days: Anthony Chui managed to snag a repeat of Shogun (V11).…
Mar 2021
March was a big month for the RAK. The longest standing project out there was taken down. First tried in 2006, it received plenty of attention over the years from all the strong kids passing through. Considering it’s just a one move problem it must be a pretty nails move. Well having worked on it…
Jan 2021
Nick Seabright managed to maintain his crushing form from December by sending Shogun (V11).
Dec 2020
Another first things first: the Topo page is now live. However bear in mind that some of the topos are a bit out of date. If there is any confusion, or grade discrepancies the Index page is kept up-to-date. After putting some serious effort in Nick Seabright managed to send Allison Wonderland (V11). That…
Nov 2020
First things first: the Index page went live in November. It has information on every climb in the Bronx sector – if there are any missing, or mistakes, get in touch. On a particularly windy day in November Ivan Lukatina sent Boilerplate sit (V9). He used some much nicer beta than the first ascentionist, Josiah,…
Oct 2020
Anthony Chui sent Raw Ruthenium (V9) and reckons it’s pretty nails. He also repeated Code of the Samurai (V11). Ivan Lukatina repeated Tyrant (V9), and reckons it’s on the stiff side. Andoni Arbulu managed a repeated of Shogun (V11), and found yet new beta. Rob Gajland added even more ridiculous linkups. Basically starting on the…
Sep 2020
Rob Gajland has added yet another eliminate to the front of the Bronx cave: Speed Addict – suggesting V9. He also added an extension to it: Addicted – suggesting V10. Ivan Luketina managed to repeat Musashi (V10) as well as the relatively new on piste (V10) second go no less, although he reckons the latter…

George Sanders sent Musahi (V10), repeated Shogun (V11) agreeing with the grade and added a further little extension to Shogun (V11): Ronin – suggesting V12. Rob Gajland also repeated Shogun (V11) agreeing with the grade and added his own low start to Mushai (V10): Doraku – suggesting V11. He also managed a few link ups…
