Ascents in Oceania by Ranger Dave

I think I've figured this pain in the mantle of a top out! wow, very, very ,very committing!

My first time working this project and its proving to be a solid line. Its a mystery how I'm going to top out

awesome holds, great looking problem. Have to give it another time when I'm fresh

awesome arete problem! a tricky start with a continuous grade mostly from the pump. tried throwing for a bigger hold near the top... almost regretted it.

a delicate V1. kool mantle

an underrated mantle. I'm a big fan of this type of climb and Out On A Lim was a great challenge with a committing move.

Definitely a crag Classic. Superb climbing. lots of balance and gentle moves got me through this one. Like ballet on a rock face!

Could not resist doing this again!

Lovely big holds!

an enjoyable sit start with a more challenging top out than i would have considered for a V1

Some kool moves in the middle of this one

I was told to give this one a try. Glad i did. great flake with some good moves to top out

a nice climb

its all in the start! but none the less a good thought provoking problem

A super powerful start. Great moves up the center of this over hang. This would be more like a V5 if the chossy hold at the lower left of the cave mouth wasn't used.

It's amazing what beta can do for a project. Matt nailed this and after watching him I got it quickly. Powerful problem with potential for a super cool dyno.

After a lot of cleaning and planning the route I got over half way. Its all about the following heel hook. the holds are awesome on the lip of the cave, when assisted by the face holds.

Some super cool moves. I love overhangs that have some great spots for a heel hook. A all round beautiful line

Every time I send this problem its still enjoyable. Good warm up through the middle, but the top out is still challenging

An Epic Problem, with each move accumulating up to bloody committing top out! It was great working this one with Matt and Jake.

Have good spotters!

This project needs a LOT of thought. Solid start, but just to get to the next move seems to box me in a corner. Too much reliance on the right hand. Challenging!

Wow there are a plethora of different ways this climb might be done but it gets hard fast. The face doesn't look all that tough so this is a surprise.

Yeah!! With some awesome back up and from getting some more ideas from the lads, this one is finally worked. Really kool moves working from a reliance on the right arete to following the balancey left line. Fun with lots of movements

wow! A super powerful start! really reachy! Going to be hard to finish...

tough arete! a big throw to the slap. Very enjoyable moves that rely a lot on your foot work

The line is beautiful. Has some really hard looking moves as you reach the overhanging face. Crimps and little pockets, oh my!

Quite a fun project. balance required on sharp crimps

A very nice problem! satisfying slap to the arete from the starting moves. The key is staying right on the arete - not to far either way keeps the grade solid.

hahaha I forgot how challenging this problem is. Make sure you give the top a good cleaning before attempting. Slapping is seriously impaired by lose grit

ACK! another 6 or some attempts - Super challenging in the balance and problem solving departments. This is going to be a one of a kind problem here

Several Attempts on this one. The top still needs to be cleaned. There are only slappers and you have to trust them hugely to get a heel up. ugh.....

An absolutely amazing problem. Heaps of power at the start and then some really subtle moves through the middle. The end is a few grades down but after what you get through its a relief!

A Soft V2 if your a fan of sit starts, but good practice otherwise

A fun, albeit, contrived problem. Great confidence builder for trusting your reach

This actually through me off a could of times just starting. It really wanted to swing me onto the left wall. Some nice thought needed for this one

very easy, but fun!

ugh! Tricky start with some rounded holds on the top. Could be done as a sit start but that definitely bumps the grade up a bit. More work required = might make this open...

So much FUN! Such a kool problem that is really geared for those with a long reach. My hat goes off to the tough nuts with short arms to nail this one. Did someone say Dyno?

A kool start slapping around on the slopping top.

Crimps and a bit of movement. Nice warm up

A VERY committing top out. Nice moves up to it

A cool looking project using the edge of the overhang. Plenty of face holds and options for a following heel hook. Should be good to send

After two attempts this project opened up beautifully. A classic start with an even better toe jam followed by a powerful top out. Mega enjoyable

Yep, a solid start. The holds through the middle require a strong pinch grip. Should be some tough moves to finish!

Some nice moves wrapped up in this overhanging traverse. You'll want small fingers to utilize the starting match, but after that there are some decent holds

A really awesome start, with the potential for a powerful throw to the lip. Otherwise there are plenty of holds up the middle that require a solid right hand

Awesome moves from the side pull up the big pocket. It looks deep but it doesn't give you as much as you thing. A fun problem!

Nice first moves but the it is very contrived in the middle. Nothing but a side pull that is sharp and gritty! popped on that

oh thats thin. Small crimpers and pockets! A fun sit start to maximize the wall. The crux is going to be a balancing act!

quite a fun arete. Holds in all the right places. balancing movements from side to side. A nice climb

Must have tried this 5 or so times. A challenging project with lots of smear required!

Sweet!!! so glad to have finally got this one. Awesome moves up the crimps followed by a tough mid section and then... deep, deep, deep into the belly of the whale! good stuff!

Grr, This is a hard start! Might have to leave this as an open project for when this crag goes public! Yea! Can't wait!

wow, got the the top with my left hand in the scoop, but then I was just pumping out. I can see the end in side, just need to burly through the top!

Wow by the time I hit the sharp, thin crimpers the feet are letting me down. Getting pumpy but I'm now getting my hand on the rounded arete
