Crimpfest
A good route. Super balancy and crimpy for a 10a. Tons of bolts mean that should you inadvertently bif it, you never go for that big of a whip. Give it a whirl, I reckon you'll enjoy it.

Best line at Samsun
This route is awesome. A solid, sustained crimpfest that may school harder climbers who might think a 10b is a cakewalk. It is a super enjoyable challenge, with the best views to be had on any south island climb.
Bring your lead head, this route will make you think... a lot. Also bring your crimp fingers, you'll need those too.
PG13 only because everything here is a tad runout for those used to bolts every meter. There are 10 for the first 30...

Good climb, but Runout
I don't recommend falling while clipping the 3rd bolt unless you wish to add a little extra adrenaline to your day. The first time I climbed this a hold crumbled and I did just that, and ended up 2m off the deck.
Good, long route though!

Fun. Killer finish hold.
That stalactite is awesomeness! Great move through the "V". This route has a killer hands free rest. To bad its post crux...

Such an enjoyable route.
I think this may be my favourite route at Horne thus far. Super fun moves to a powerful crux sequence. I fell bumping to the bomber hueco. Dang. Redpoint soon enough.

Stellar, Tricky, Fun
Highball start leads to good pro on the flake. It is a little bit tricky at the crux, and super runout at the top, but the crux is short and the top is scrambly. All in all, a good, old (FA was in 1977!), route.

Spicy!!
Egad! Hot and spicy as the name would suggest! This route has a fear inducing high first clip, and I have seen a couple sketchy falls between that and the second. Consistent 11a moves make this one of the best 11's in Victoria.
Requires a complete disregard for runouts!

I love this route!
Super fun crack. Tricky bits at the top, and a tad runout at the end... but overall a pure blast!

Fantastic!
Super fun route!
Nice layback start leads to stellar crimpyness to the top. A cool mono-reward await those who reach the upper sections!
