A couple of existing lines have been cleaned up (so far) on Swamp Wall, Wharepapa South (Castle Rock) that may be worth a look at on your way in or out. The rest of the wall is moss city.
Near the left end of the wall, the arete to the right of the 3 small caves is Welcome (19) 4 bolts 12m.
At the far right end heading into the next valley, the first climb on the left is First Cut (18 ) 3 bolts 12m.

Following the cliffs 20m to the right, come to a big block.To the right of this is an 18,unknown name 6 bolts 15m. Follows a thin crack.

Next to this is Cruel Shoes (20) 5 bolts 15m. Goes up thru the scoop to the arete at the top.

At the far right end before going up the gully another 18, Counting The days is a thin face climb with 4 bolts.
