Ascents in Oceania as various tick types by Stephen Winnacott

Got the knee bar, got the tick, a surprise send. Thanks to Justin Giles!

Didn't have guide, cpl falls, could not do last 2-3 moves. Guess date.

Skipped P1 by walking to base of P2, onsighted P2, belayed Paul on his onsight of P3 crux pitch, then he lowered off and I flashed it on his gear, was either that or clean it on second but I'm stoked to get it clean even if the gear was pre-placed.

One move got me, then finally i got it. Put Both hands on the good crimp bit, and left foot up, to right a little on positive bit. Commit.

Got on the 2nd try, fell at the last move once. The HEEL HOOK!!

My first 24 clean, almost onsight but for one mistake, took it 3rd go. Yeeeeeew!

Traversed left.

My 4th 24, got it on the 4th try. Heel hook, left hand dbl tap, right dbl tap, right then go.

Finally. Beta: Put both hands on the good part of crimper, left foot up and slightly to the right, on positive bit. Up with left hand, right, the right up to break. Rest.

Third go, after 3 yrs away. Prob 2nd or 3rd session, can recall.

3rd shot

2nd shot

Strenuous, pumpy! Did it direct start, crimp hard on the sloper to first break. Side pull/pinch the last hold.

Second attempt, cames easily. Jam you gingers in the crimps, they are small. Commit.

Excellent moves to ledge, took 3 work sessions for it to go.

Epic route. Ended up doing 3 laps all up, as did Paul, linking it all bottom to top clean on the 3rd push. I pink point the 1 & 2 pitch after a lap working out the beta, then Paul got the red point and I followed it up clean on my 3rd lap, then continued on to onsight the final pitch, parched and glycogen depleted. Good solid day out.

Smooth and cruisy, Not sustained at 22. Beautiful arete move, like white at the Rock House!

Almost fell, extremely sustained i think all but a few moves are 22, so perhaps it should be a 23? Makes some 22s look pathetic.

Gear placed by Jonas.

About h3-4 work sessions for the flash.

So awesome! Nicely run out, some balancy moves, then some thing moves, then some real commitment, then drag yourself up to the anchors. Too bad Bruno left the gear and the chalk on... no onsight.

Once again a grind, but clean from "Lupo Carne"

1 fall. 1 hard move. Guess date.
