2 bolts, the first bolts in New Zealand.

Climbed shortly after the Wall of Early Morning Light as an alternative way to gain the upper dihedrals on that route. Many pitches are free climbed by Passage to Freedom. Some of the upper pitches are free climbed by The Dawn Wall.

Retrospectively recognised as possibly the first 5.14a (8b+) established by an American. Scott Frankin's Scarface at Smith Rock and Planet Claire at the Shawangunks are other contenders for this title.

Chopped by John Bachar as some of the bolts were placed on rappel but subsequently rebolted.

The most famous boulder problem in Japan. A benchmark at the 1-kyu (6C+/7A) grade, it became slightly harder after holds were apparently chipped off in 2018.
