Pohara - New route action

Recently, ahead of his upcoming Pohara Guidebook by Michael Cartright there has been some "activity" in the Pohara area. Due to the newness of the cliimbs and the Pohara rock a helmet is essential and vigilance a necessity. Already a few large blocks have been removed unintentionally.

Some have already been mentioned already and all are in the Pohara section of climbnz.org.nz   http://climbnz.org.nz/nz/si/nelson/golden-bay/pohara

Hangover Heights:
On the lower wall...
Hair of the Dog  19  6
Start a few meters right of From Mystery to Mystery up a scoop. Climb up past the cool flow feature to the overlap. Then leftward before heading back right and up to anchor.

The Tower, Cathedral Wall:

The Jagged Edge 18   30m 9 
 Start 2m right of the corner up the knobby stuff. Gain the arête above and follow it.

Shagadelic Area:
A Dream of White Shags   18   7 
Currently the leftmost line of bolts on the main Shagadelic wall. Climbable at high tide with alternate approach to crag. Vertical wall followed by an airy overhanging traverse left and up to anchor. Don't climb here during nesting season (Summer?).

Sunset Cruise 17   4
Walk right through the hole beyond More Rad Than Trad to find a neat little overhanging orange wall around the corner. Climb the lay-back flake starting left below it.

Scramble the large crack on the left past 1st bolt to gain the rotten ledge. Climb the steep orange wall just left of the big hole.
