Ascents in Oceania by Marek

Very happy to get this second shot today. Didn't feel that strong on the first go but nailed the sequence second time. The traverse with the many heel hooks is really cool.

Warm-up and warm down. Down climbed as well. Down climbing really improves your technique. Must keep doing it.

So close to getting this climb. Need to remember the sequence for it and send it when I'm fresh. Definitely improved on last attempt. Gave it two shots today, nevertheless I enjoy the moves a lot.

Love the balancey feet.

Warm-up.

Fun climb with a bit of a section near the start and plenty of jugs near the top. Great for a warm-up.

Short powerful overhanging climbing only for a few metres and a bit of an awkward mantle near the end but definitely worth jumping on it! Got it second shot.

Warm up.

Climbed it up and down. Down climbing is quite hard when your not used to it. I did the F.A of two other climbs; 1) Grand Theft Auto, 19. Got it on my first go and 2) A short overhanging 21 which I can't remember the name, got it on the second shot.

Gave it two shots today. So close to getting it. Just a matter of remembering the sequence for next time.

Makes for a nice warm up. Plenty of good holds.

Very happy to send Mango Tango today. Not the best of conditions, but nevertheless managed to follow a good sequence up the thin part at the top.

Felt easy today after all that steep climbing at Campbelltown.

Interesting climb, but found the last metre before the lower off to be hard. Have it sorted for next shot, however a bit unsure of that last move...

Warm up.

A lap for fun.

Close to getting it... sequence sorted. Love the holds and heel hooks. Gave it two shots today.

Warm up times 3 today.

Nice alternative way to finish "Negative Funk."

Only climbed the first few meters, so can't really comment on the whole climb, but it looks like there will be plenty of steep, bouldery fun to be had when I give it a crack next time.

This route is better every time you climb it.

Very happy to tick this climb. It packs so many interesting moves all the way to the very end, and the picnic rest helps after an awkward mantle. Got it second go today after a bit of trouble with the mantle.

Great climb and a bit thin at the start.

Juggy steep start to get over the buldge, then a thin, balancey slab sequence to finish off with. Will send it for sure next time. I have the sequence dialled. Definitely worth doing.

Nice slab traverse.

Cool slab. A bit dirty up top but otherwise fun climb

Steep fun route with nice slab start.

Very nice climb with a bit of stemming at the start and awkward crimp finish.

Love the slopey jug halfway through that feels like you're slipping away. Quite an interesting climb that gets you thinking about the sequence of moves.

Nice steep diagonal climb with a unique pocketed hold which works well if you know how to use it.

A great warm-up for the start of the day.

Very nice slab climbing and very cool rock features to hold onto.

Cool climbing alongside crack using jugs.

A great climb with with a bit of stemming, jamming and crimping.

A varied mix of slab, jamming and lay backs makes this a really interesting climb. Done on pre-placed trad gear.

Really thin moves near the top where I had trouble, otherwise really good climbing.

Such a cool climb with a few punchy moves down low and a tricky part at the end that gets you thinking.

Some great climbing to be had on Hello Dolly and great views!

Fun steep climbing. Some cool powerful moves.

Tricky crux section after climbing around arete... but great holds after that.

Fun little warm-up.

Quite technical side pulling for the first few meters followed by steep climbing on jugs to anchors. Very motivating project.

Crimpy start and then classic steep climbing!

Some really unique moves on Dorothy makes this a classic climb.

Cool slab climbing.

Love the stemming at the start followed by the few crimpy holds that leads onto another great crack style climb much like L'Arch.

Cool traverse and arete climbing.

The crux on this makes this a cool climb indeed!

Crimpy slab start followed by a lay back style crack. Nice combination of styles makes this a great warm up.

Awesome face climbing!

Nice climb that needs good balance.

Hard crack move which requires quite a bit of commitment and technique.
