Ascents in Oceania by Ashkan

I had 3 goes on this today, but I was a bit tired after sending Minecraft. Will be back for it.

I spent two sessions on this aesthetic boulder, first session was mostly working on the moves and on the second session, today, I got it in my second Go! Very stoked! It’s very classic climb and one of best in north Island I reckon. It’s a combination of crimp, compression, dyno and kneebars

Still hard for me to establish the awkward start!

Very nice moves on this boulder! Loved it.

Warm up boulder!

had couple of goes and figured out the beta. But I've been unfortunate to injure my lumbrical tissue. I felt it when it happened and stopped climbing. probably ill be out for couple of weeks or so. gutted! my least favorite style of climbing is this crag (A.K.A pocket climbing)

Gave it a couple of burns in the end of session. Got to the plant in the middle once but not fortunate to pass it. Maybe next time!

Had a couple of go but couldnt do the last move. Probably because my biceps and arms were dead!! Great climb and suit my style!

One of standard v6 on this crag! Big moves and lots of heel hooks. Got it my 3rd proper go. First climb of the day!

Scary!

Slippery!

Fun!

Good!

Fell from the top couple of times at the end of session. Very cool problem

Awesome problem. I downclimbed the crack instead of jumping from the other face which is very scary!

Very close to send this beautiful slab

It’s way harder than it sounds. No way climb like this is v4, maybe 20 years ago

Too hard! Not my style.

Hard v3! Scary mantle but cool!

1st climb of the day.

Tried this variation of Frank's Better Half, and it is way harder than normal finish. I think adding one more grade is fair for this variation.

worked on the crux move couple of times. I'm getting there

Repeat.

It feels harder than v3! Very scary top out. Be careful about the flakes coming off.

Better start for Transversellina.

two good tries today, the deep start was very wet today, couldn't pull

1st good go but few attempts on the deep start which was soaked wet today!

Warm-up. few attempts to get the first few moves dialed but 1 good go.

warm-up

I had another go on this, but not fresh! I fell on the very last move! Damn!

Failed again on this one since I did this one at the end of the long day session and I was wrecked by then. should go next session fresh.

I did this climb which was part of Shallow Throat.

Awesome line! again I knew this line by heart but connecting three different lines together was a great challenge for me. Very powerful, you get really pumped in each attempt. Recommended!

I did this climb part of my attempts on Perverse-elina.

Warm-up! I knew the route by heart but never did this line. Solid v7!

Great hard variation of Frank's Route. Stoked to get this line with Chris Hailey

Last climb of the day, it feels harder than 6!keep falling on top out haha, probably gassed out.

warm-up

Great line with hard finish! Really enjoyed this!

warm-up

Repeat

Stoked to get this on my second go (last send of the day). Very reachy crux but this time I made it
