Ascents in Oceania by Ranger Dave

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

A solid effort by one and all today on this beast of a project. It won't take long for this one to be sent. Exciting project!

Got the starting move worked, but there wasn't much skin on the fingers to keep trying

ohhh yea!!! such an awesome problem! I managed to stick the third pocket on my second attempt today but the sucker was full of grit! definitely needs more traffic. After a clean up top and in the pocket it only took 3 more attempts. Super fun challenging problem!

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

A solid problem! really tough first moves but I didn't have anything left in me. Target!

Unlike anything else in the area - 2/3 finger Pockets. Super fun start with powerful moves.

Stuck deciding if my fingers are more important than sticking the knife like iron crimp. Might have to embrace the pain so I can get to the 3rd pocket.

Wow! I think this might be V6+. The crux is powerful, reachy, and packed with sweet rewards - if i can Stick it! more gardening up top makes for a nicer end

ugh!! several attempts with the lads on this one! some serious pump!

A tricky start with a rounded top out. Project for another time!

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

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...

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

After removing a whole lot of choss I discovered how to link the start with the top out. Really reachy move! Amazing potential for some crazy dyno action!

Such a enjoyable line. Really good moves up to the sharp ledge. Had to clean a LOT of choss and now the rock is beautiful. Separately finished the top, now to link it

I have the whole start figured now - so Its time to man up to the insane overhanging topout

FINALLY!!! After 8months working it and some 30-40 attempts, I've cracked it! A super awesome climb. Dedicated finger work, a powerful dyno and some swift foot movements to keep you going. This solid pump of a climb is hard and yet beautifully satisfying!

Awesome, sustained climbing! the Slapping is tough, leaving you feeling like your right on the edge of popping! A Great Line!

An Amazing problem with a beautiful line. Excellent moves up to the ledge and then a committing and powerful throw out to the left - almost a Dyno but I have long arms

A brilliant problem capped off with a killer topout!

A grand vision from Matt Short. Its enough of a challenge to get from that sharp letter box to the ledge, so it certainly keeps the pump going to continue power through to the end of the wall. committing, burly fest!

Awesome Problem with powerful start! classic in my books

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?

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.

Very Good Geoffro! A Really Fun, Powerful problem with all the satisfying parts of a overhanging traverse that is caped with a fun topout. Excellent!

Used this to warm up. some awesome moves along this line, but I'm wondering if it is slightly soft for a V5. Perhaps its my body type

Absolute crag classic! A super amazing Dyno up to the ledge. I love the feeling of sticking this hold, while my whole body flies off the face.

But it didn't end there - a Massive deadpoint and then a heart pounding topout

Dramatic? check it out for your self!

A exceptional problem!

Always a massive pleasure. An excellent sit start and a committing rounded scoop.

Bam! It's grand to be long. Delicate crimps and then a deadpoint to the top

Love the sloping pockets.

very nice! Having the sit start add a few more beautiful moves to this amazing climb. Didn't think it could get better!

burn! Hard stuff... Will need to try again one day

Ugh! my left foot gave me grief, so I started to move it around a bit more

Not today! Not dry enough to stick the last move. Such an awesome problem. Feeling like this is more of a V5 especially when the conditions are good

Quite a solid start. I need to get more squeeze action to throw for the top side pull. Project.

Its great to finally start working this beauty! by the end of my sesh I was able to stick the top right hand pinch but I didn't have enough endurance to hit the victory jug. An awesome problem! I'll be back for you Lt. Dan....

Really different to most of the problems here I like that! Project for when I'm not so burnt out. Great moves though

Had a couple of cracks and lost interest. Uninspiring and dirty

Wow! Great problem. Awesome starting moves have got me thinking. I think ill need to hit this when fresh. Recommended!

Wow, I am liking the potential with this problem. Working the first challenge after the smear traverse. Almost getting my hand in to the letter box

This problem is proving to be difficult and really is hurting my hip! I think I've got the next move figured...

Getting so close now to finishing. I think I just need to improve my stamina and get my body in the right position. This is a awesome boulder problem that really tests your reach and core strength!

Despite tears and sweat, this climb still evades me. Last move blues for sure!

So close! Am now getting both my hands onto the last hold, thanks to Brendon and his keen eye. I can see the end of this epic, though it may be found with pinched nerve and a dodgy hip - Killer full reach!

Always popping off the last move. Guess a static dyno will do that to you. Reachy and power required. Feeling V6+

Super solid start! Really reachy and excellent pump. I'm loving the slopers to start off with. Its going to be some good working that gets this done

Ack! getting the start sussed, but wow... that is one tough move up to the pig nose!

AHHH!!! got the pig nose but its sharp and I popped out....

Ouch... pumpy

Awwww Sugar!! This is a awesome problem put up by Geoff! Some really cool moves through the over hang and then a really reachy slap at the top. Ouch! a solid top out

ugh! popping off the top! Going to need some solid cleaning

Bah! the moves through the middle are Hard! really bitey crimpers and some solid strength required to hold myself with the undercling!

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!

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

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.....

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

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.

One of those epic climbs that people with short arms are going to hard. HUGE dyno from starting holds up to a razor sharp ledge and then another massive move left to a jug. Big stuff! Can't wait to finish this climb next time I am there

May be one of the more loved problems here. An AMAZING Dyno that will really test your reach, followed by a super long lung to the left. C omitting, powerful and all together addictive
