Ascents in Oceania as various tick types by Scott Lacey

Nice thin slab

Had a large (5kg +) rock fall from the top of the cliff as my partner came down from climbing this route. It would have hit her in the head and could have killed her if I hadnt seen it falling and pushed it away with my hand. Needless to say be careful when climbing here and helmets might not be a bad idea!

Lead it twice, once not clean to put up rope for grace and once clean to clean it. Great climb!

Repeat lead to put rope up for Grace, still fun a bit sandy though

Led it though had to rest on the rope at the bolt. Has a couple of hardish moves on fairly small holds but it's pretty short. 21ish?

Nice fun easy climb. Big holds down low and one harder move to gain the top

Finally had a crack at it when I wasn't completed buggered and sent it no worries. Bit sandy but some really nice moves. Try not to let the snake skin in the break scare you!

Stayed left at the top so I guess 19? The start is overgrown with ferns and covered in mud so I started on wall thing and traversed in to meet boundary rider at the second bolt. Pretty dirty but some good moves nonetheless

A steep walk

Fun climb combining all the good bits of mental fatigue with a nice direct start on good pockets

Pumped out again while trying it at the end of the day. Too pumped after trying Scones of Doom and Glamorpus

Got it this time, found the victory jug up top

No feet fun!

Not too hard for the grade

Very dirty

Yellow overhang next to slab

Yellow overhang next one across

Black and white overhang in corner

Black opposite overhangs

Purple overhang "Press Up"

Black arete "ConcArete"

Black on the arete "Exposure"

First V5! I know it's a bit soft but I'll take it!

2nd go

First 21 redpoint! Not too hard, took a couple of tries to work out the start then had no problem with the rest of it, I think 3rd or 4th go.

Warm up. Slipped off at pretty much the first move then did it clean.

Supposed to be the warm up route for the day - couldn't find good enough holds to get over the roof and had to come down and let James have a go, he found a new good pocket and I was able to get over the lip with the new beta but still pumped out and fell just before the anchors. Unfortunately this warm up set the trend for the rest of the day...

I've done MF before and it is quality so I thought I'd try the direct start. The pockets are surprisingly better than they look but I fell after the second bolt just where the direct start meets the rest of MF. Really nice climb and the direct start is quality too. I will come back to get it clean...

2nd go - really good fun!

Great fun! My favourite climb at The Stables so far!

Balancy mantle to start then enjoyable pumpy steepness

Good fun

Hard moves to start though I'm not sure which holds are on for the climb and which aren't

Big move past the first bolt I imagine it would be quite hard if you're short

What a mantle!

Got to the top of ladder and realised I'd run out of jugs! Downclimbed and wedged myself in the cave for a bit of a rest and then climbed back to the top and clipped the anchors. Very fun climb!

Took me a couple of go's to work out the start but after that the rest is pretty straight forward altough a bit pumpy. Awesome moves on awesome rock! The start and some other parts are still a little sandy but still a fantastic climb!

Last climb of the day, got to the anchors and managed to grab the top of the cliff at full stretch but I was too pumped to clip and fell off. Too pumped to attempt it clean again from the bottom so I just reclimbed from where I fell. Another fun berowra climb, looking forward to coming back and redpointing it!

Done in joggers and with backpacks to get out

Short fun warm up though beware the midges and leeches!

Done statically, it's good to be tall! And thanks for the beta Grace!

Got flash pumped and fell on the flash attempt just above 2nd bolt couldn't be bothered retying so reclimbed it with first two bolts already clipped in. Cruised it 2nd go, really nice climb with fun moves and an interesting start

Really nice warm up, good holds and fun moves shame it's so short

Awesome climb on really nice pockets another classic worth the 3 stars in the guide. Some of the holds were a little bit sandy but it is still a great climb

Another fantastic climb! Fully worth the 3 stars in the guide, really nice moves on really nice holds. Great fun!

2nd go, easier version of leap of faith

Quite nice crimpy slab
