Ascents in Oceania by Ranger Dave

Exceptional climbing! I was pleasantly surprised by this route and stoked with my hard won onsight. Possibility the best route at the crag!

Short but fun! Great moves with a thin finish.

Always a challenge getting over the roof! Fun warm up and confidence booster

Great route! I love the powerful start and would really enjoy seeing it done on trad. Lovely crack climbing through the middle to a trickery top. Will need more cleaning

Surprisingly good! Quite the adventure with a really great finish. Well worth it. Will need more cleaning

Lovely laybacking goodness with plenty of surprise holds. Might be a soft V2

Great line, but super dirty. Will be a fun repeat once cleaned

Fun crack work. Same as others in needing a clean

Has a stella left hand halfway up. Clean me!!

Fun traverse, but needs traffic and cleaning. Feels to be more of a V2

This was the first ever ascent for my 5y.o daughter! She was stoked!

Excellent route! Some challenging crux moves, with a delicate finish. I can't wait for this to be bolted

Another super fun climb, with a challenging finish

Tough start! Got it after half a doz attempts but it was hardly clean. More like a desperate dead point!

Horrible feet, but such an amazing problem! This may take a while to unlock but I know it'll be satisfying when it does!

A great route! funky start, with a choose-your-own-adventure style finish. avoided the last bolt and went straight for the end.

Quite fun! I love the layback action. Worth a future repeat

You've got to love stepping into space to start this problem, but nothing else about this is memorable to me.

An excellent problem to project. Powerful moves to a mantle that initially looked committing. Worth a repeat.

Like quite a few problems here this is in need of a clean. I bailed on the top out due to it being moss covered and having a terrible landing below. This was would be great with some love

A great heart starter. Harder than V1s in the area. The moss doesn't help.

Lots for the hands but not so much for the feet. An excellent problem!

Feet work required for sure. My long arms made this easier at the top. Sent on 2nd attempt

Soft for a V2. Perhaps it's just my long reach. Worthy repeat

Fun and easy. Follow the ledges to the left or head straight up. Even my 4y.o enjoyed this twice!

Well worth the send, both on the right and left sides of the arete. Lovely delicate laybacking. Worthy of two separate problems

Fun and simple

Ahhh, a dirty spanking. My ugly transition from layback to face was my undoing.

An awesome climb! Consistent grade, good moves and some pumpy overhangs make this a worthy route for future repeats.

Great little adventure traversing the cave lip. Excellent protection coupled with a feeling of exposure will make this a favorite for learners. This will only get better with traffic to clean the holds.

Fun bouldery start. The grade is stiff if you move early under the anchors

Great starting moves working the sharp breaks

Awesome, technical moves at the start. Soft centre and challenging finish

I might be biased but this route was amazing! super cool moves, consistent grade all the way through and a bit more height makes this a winner

Fun and challenging! I especially liked the rounded arete at the top

Has to be a 18 or 19 start. I popped off a few times and decided to call it. Super sharp crimps!

An excellent crack climb! I set up the TR as we don't have enough trad gear yet. It was great seeing my wifey tick this with one rest. Lots of fun!

Woo! Big holds but they still had me searching for the good stuff. A fun lead that is solid for the grade

First lead in about 9 months (Ugh!) and it was a great way to ease back in! From here I set up a TR for a bunch of beginner friends to play on. A great spot for beginners!

Lots of fun! a lovely start though quite reachy to the first bolt. Another excellent TR for the Beginners. Shame about the rope drag, but hey, thats Slab for ya!

17 at the start but then drops to about a 14. Some tricky crimpers but this route definitely favors the long.

Best climb on the wall. Lovely slab climbing at the start with some delicate finger work, then it finishes well. Solid grade throughout

Funky start and then some great jug filled climbing. Watch some of the thin ledges and holds. I can see this route refining with time.

I see the vision on this one and with some more traffic i'm sure it will be a more satisfying route. Quite a stiff 16. Thanks for bolting it Rod. I look forward to seeing your other projects opened

Quite a nice line.

Woot! My first lead on Trad. The pro seemed reasonable and it was a good crack warm up before Kodak Moment.

Very worthy of the stars! Lots of fun with great holds. Was over far to quickly!

What a brilliant crux!! Two attempts with the first dog at the third bolt and the last at the anchors. Parental Fatigue took its toll. I'll certainly be back for this beauty!

The starting moves make the climb then it drops down to about a 14. Fun problem solving from the mantle through the scoop.

The grade is solid for the first half but then drops down to about a 13. It has an amazing crux that had me dogging. Well worth the return visit!

A fantastic crack with plenty of hand and fist jamming. I'll be back to lead this another time.

An awesome birthday present! Thanks for bolting this little beauty, Brendon and Jeff. It was a pleasure to lead this delicate crimp fest. It certainly bumped up the quality.

Fun moves up the overhang. A nice line that will be great bolted!

Balancey crimp-tastic. Always a good warm up

Muscle memory served me well on this one. A funky start

A send made complete by the Sun set. Still one of the best probs here.
