Ascents in Oceania as various tick types by Frank Evans

Look here's the easy one! ... sorry Billy

Free Solo. AKA no rope, no harness. A 'Headpoint'.. meaning I top roped it clean 120 times in 3 months before hand.

Packed me dacks, and bagged a flash. A great day out.

Road was closed for the Brisbane Gran Fondo Ride. Sent it in my Adidas Terrex Free Hiker Gore-Tex hiking shoes.

An easy balance problem with a fair bit of exposure.

Pumpy start. Great bolting. Mad fun. Suggest it's maybe an 18.

too much chalk for onsight

too much chalk and a little beta, so it isn't fair to claim onsight

approach shoes, warm up, placed draws to simulate a lead climb

No stick clip, but I wander a bit left under the first bolt. Quite happy to finally send it.

In approach shoes

Did it twice with draws placed (pink points). Clean climbs both times. The 'flash' run I used a stick to clip the first, and sent it quick and easy. Second time I clipped the first draw whilst climbing, which I found to be quite a committed move. Maybe a little soft for the grade. Deserves the three stars.

A great climb. Mainly used larger nuts, a few hexes, a sling on the tree, and a small cam in the lower half. Upper half I used Cams, 0.5-3.0 Maybe 12 pieces in total

A genuine onsight. Had a rest on a ledge. Maybe a bit soft for the grade.

Another great little climb. Committed crux move is a test on your first time.

Great little climb.

Actually a pretty good trad route , with ample solid passive placements available. Mid size gear at the bottom (BD #0. 5, O.75, 1,2... BD nuts 10-13) larger gear at the top ( BD #2,3,4, maybe large hex or two)

A bit grubby. Nice, sustained route. Not as run out as some of the others there.

The run out sections spooked me quite a lot. Was a bit of chalk to help me find the way.

My first real trad lead climbing effort.

No take Tuesday. Thanks for all the slack Daz.

I don't think I would do this without prior placement of the sling in the drill hole for protection near the ground.
