Hi Liam,
Good to hear you enjoyed your travels - pity you weren't a week or so later as Flock Hill reopens tomorrow.
Regarding your problems at Ti Point. I passed your blog on to several locals and to the Guidebook compiler and the gist of their responses were that:
Firstly it's not limestone, and of course they've probably been done before... many many climbers have been there over the
years (since the 70's), and prob couldn't be bothered tying into a rope so
just bouldered. Much like the Quarry, there's no boulder guide for there
either, but I'd laugh at someone trying to claim a first ascent :)
Never thought the problems were worth mentioning in a guide form at Ti
Point... it's not a bouldering venue. Graham Dingle has bolted some lines
up at Ti Point that myself and others used to boulder (or solo) but there's
plenty more shorter stuff that has been climbed (or more commonly just
mucked around on). I remember Scott Mooney (who climbs 8b+) 'mucking around' on some of the
boulders one day doing some really HARD stuff...
cheers,
