Beam Me UP Scottie.
Saturday 13th December: the Trip to Ti Point.
Ti Point is a Sea Cliff Climbing area about an hours drive north of Auckland, on the way from Warkworth out to Leigh, with good Parking at the Ti Point wharf it is a very pleasent 1.5 km hike along a well maintained DOC track almost to the Craig.
Many routes are bolted and tide and winds need to checked if you want to stay dry. You need to take all you water and food, there ain't none out there.
There are several Online Guides:

The Woman (Lunch and Drink Carrier) bailed on me and then Game-gees rang 1/2 hr before kickoff, with a me grain, some sorta hangover type of thing. Mr Careful and Mr Cautious and the Flyin Man, headed up to the whalf along with many others from the Alpine Expresso club.
By 10:30 the cast of Episode: TiPoint - Sea Trek, headed for the Craig.
Not my best day, Mr careful lead Diabolo (15) on the Amphitheatre Wall, I seconded this deap crevices, his arms are longer and he has no pork belly a cookin in the pot, and some of those placements took a lotta work to reach, let alone retreve, Good on ya.
After Lunch I attempted to lead Chad(16) on the Chad Wall. Big on the attempted bit - I got toasted.
I returned to Earth with only half my mission completed and Mr Careful had to come about and cast a few hexs aside with freinds flashin.
Again I followed into the frey and we ducked and turned under the attacks an swops of the enraged Sea Gullian Devil Beakers.
Took a few pics and I left Careful and Cautious to head back trek past the resting Flyin Man.
I had Dinner with Ma Cussi an Mussa and then headed back to Ock Land.
Utterly and completely Shagged.
A good trip with lots of recovery needed.
