Technically was pretty easy but there was quite a bit of snow on the ridge (pretty consistently waist to chest deep) so it was super slow going. Next time I think we’d try go up one of the faces so we could skin up but the avvy danger was a bit higher than we would’ve liked, so we stuck to the ridge, which was super ploddy :D
Ohau is a bit of a hidden gem in NZ - sneaks in between the way more touristy Mt Cook and Queenstown. Well worth a visit if you find yourself over here!

Have you tried https://search.brave.com?
Disclaimer: I work at Brave, but I think it’s pretty good
There’s heaps in Tasmania, pretty accessible grades too!
+1 for Cradle, I enjoyed it so much more than I thought I was going to
The Waking Fire by Anthony Ryan is pretty great, or the Black Prism by Brent Weeks.
Anything by Brandon Sanderson is great (The Stormlight Archives or Mistborn is probably the best starting point).
It’s a 25 in the Ewbanks system, so I think a 7b in the French scale. Really fun climb! There’s a bit more detail on The Crag
I came across https://lemmy.ml/c/cosmere for books set in The Cosmere
Try this Brave Search Goggle I made, which searches a bunch of NZ companies and retailers (not all of it is NZ gear, and some of it is made by an NZ company overseas, like Macpac, Kathmandu ect).
Some of the companies I came across when putting it together:

Sorry, most of it is more outdoor focused than everyday
