Ascents in Oceania as various tick types by Tom Reid

This is one of the most recent lines to be put up, and I reckon it’s one of the best! Pretty solid at 22. Great route Jack!

Nice route. Difficult at 11am getting blasted by the sun! Maybe 22?

Amazing route, good job Matty

Full body workout, punted at the anchors. You’ll see

2nd ascent run, hold broke near the top 😂

Nice engaging slab

Amazing route, can’t wait to get back on it. I actually think I would have flashed this, had I not been on a gentleman’s sit attempt. Made it through all the business clean and remembered it hadn’t been sent yet so said take at the start of the slab. too gassed for a 2nd or 3rd shot send. Must do.

Great climb

Awesome position, ending is a bit contrived but overall a great climb

Early OS attempt foiled after the business by a rogue loose boi. Haven’t been back to it yet. Looks much better now after a few more ascents.

FFA. Wish this was more continuous, but it’s still a great climb. My sequence for the low section turned out to be sub-optimal and consequently knocked a grade off after the other boys worked out a better way.

FFA. Felt like I was squeezing this in when I did it, turned out to be a great little techy nugget

The line of least resistance

Sensational route

A lot more to this than it looks. Awesome climbing through the bulge

FFA. Nice surprise how good this turned out!

FFA. Awesome position. Fingery, technical and bouldery

Completely blank except for what you need. Great!

Great climb up a cool tower. Gentleman sit when jack bolted it then repeated later because it’s great!

Nice roof warm up

Awesome! We opted to not use the jugs or the side pull on the V2. Felt right for a 3

Awesome, would be classic if longer.

Awesome! I loved this route, has a bit of everything

Also excellent, for me this is a grade easier than dark ages but I am comfortable with roof climbing. Loved it.

Awesome route, got mislead multiple times by red herrings.. who the fuck is holding some of that shit?! Fine 2nd time round knowing what I wanted to use. Heartbreaker finish, pretty strong at 24 IMO

Excellent route, must do at the grade.

Wow, lived up to the hype! Incredible route. Had I not punted the onsight at the last bolt, I would have been more proud of this ascent than my hardest redpoint. Still, chuffed with my effort, gave it absolute everything and read many hard and strange sequences on the fly. Tidied it up nicely second shot. Must do 25!

Couldn’t remember this from when I did it last, felt hard for 22! 23 for me.

Good moves, rock is a bit meh in the middle.

Quite good!

Onsight foiled by the start, found a mingin intermediate which made the move much more controlled. Straight forward 2nd shot.

A bit glassy/greasy

X2, sussing it out. Really good!

X2, sussing it out. Really good!

2 laps

V nice to re-do this one.

Slippery in the stormy, rainy humidity!

Felt terrible, desperate and awkward. Should have done Screaming first!

Felt great, remembered the beta well.

2nd go

EOD, felt it.

Did this ages ago, never logged it.

Done all the moves now although need to refine the top section. Also need to actually train!

Picked this as my get back on the horse project. Steep, fingery and punchy. Got some work to do!

Tough for 15, Nath did a great job on lead.

Greasy in the sun but still great.

Good old Frog!

FFA. Changed the top sequence and it worked a treat. Actually a really fun route! Great spot up there too.

Side note: the crag is being stupid on my phone and saving while I play around with names. I’ll settle on something soon.

2 more shots today, trundled the wobbly block and gave all the holds a good brush. High point at the last bolt now, though there’s a few thin and powerful moves guarding the chains.

Better late than never, decided I better give this thing a sesh. Glad I did! Needs 1-2 wobbly bits removed (they are in the line but not required) did all the moves and clips on lead, think it will be pretty good addition.

This was good fun! Wish the steeper part was longer. Mind some loose bits at the top.

Fun and adventurous outing. Not for the faint of heart, there is a fair bit of loose rock and some spaced bolts in some places. The beehive at 2/3 height on pitch 4 is still there and very active. I would strongly recommend doing only the first 3 pitches or trying the 24 pitch instead.

Where the slab meets the wall it was seeping a lot, and the first flake is very dodgy looking. Matt and I went up right (near dusk til dawn) and stepped in. The crux seems to have lost a hold, there is a scar right where it would be perfect for a crimp. Quite burly and hard on some slopey crimps in the humid air. Over all a decent climb, though I would want to remove all the loose crap from the start flake before it kills someone. It’s all jugs there anyway so totally unnecessary.
