Ascents in Oceania by George Broadfoot

Wowzers... ridiculous good fun. A memorable battle versus the pump, thank you majestic rock wall and Grkovic for this experience.. 2nd shot. Stoked!

Rad!

So good to climb for 30m after a season in nowra! Interesting cruxes.

Not such a good warm up! Do the 22 first I reckon..

Flowing, nice climbing on good rock.

Cool... very diverse sections of climbing!

Hmm.. Not great rock at the old foxhole. Good views though...

Very good- great globular red rock, varied climbing, all of it good fun.

Brilliant!

Excellent! Nearly plummeted but kept thrutching past the shiny bolt to reach safety. Limestone infused sandstone? Brilliant

Brilliant! 2nd go. Fun climbing the whole way. An evening send after getting scared out of the Grose Valley and scurrying off to go sport climbing

Awesome! Tried last year and came back to do it first go of the day, a magic feeling of lightness. The body remembered the movement better than the brain. Fantastic route at a sick crag!!

1st go of the day after dogging it last year. The body remembered everything except the top slab! A lot of resting on small holds, going up then back down until the sequence worked. Luckily held on to the clip the chains of an absolute classic! Feeling light, a great climbing day

Excellent! Long reaches and a crux involving some tension and a committing undercling up high. Satisfying! More line s to be done on this wall.

Great! Just what we were looking for- made us glad we'd brought a pad on our south coast holiday trip! thanks for writing this up so we could find it

Fantastic! One crazy pebble move...

Excellent climbing... brilliant orange rock. Great rests with technical cruxes in between.

Sensational... brilliant pocketed, funky orange sandstone. Big rests and cool cruxes.

One of my favourite routes at the point- brilliant arete moves and just enough gear on the first half so you feel like a true hardcore legend.

It takes a while to be comfy doing technical moves above little cams! Im not quite there yet... fell at the crux, then came back to lead it placing gear. Extremely cruxy and very classy!

Awesome... took the big whipper trying to onsight and being unable to place gear from tiny finger locks... then came back, rapped down to back up the Fantini bash-in and lead placing gear. Really an excellent route- great experience!

Woah- great route, George! Of course I'm gonna call it a mega classic... The most exposed route I have done at the point!

Great! Good to practice some jams. Sustained and fun.

Yes! I was hoping to find an easier line to the top of the wall and here it is. Still 2 projects to go headin further left, but this line stands alone as a steep prow of quality rock, ground dropping away 'neath your feet the whole way. Unique and fun. I'm very glad this section of climbing is now open for everyone to enjoy- get on it!!

An epic journey since Luke Magill and I were eyeballing these potential lines many years back. This year I got right into training for this beast, I even tried to learn to do bat hangs. In the end it just required getting a bit fitter and a tad stronger. The send finally arrived after quite a few punts from the lip, each time getting that little bit further.. trying to visualise without adding to the pressure, trying to enjoy each burn because climbing is meant to be fun. In the end it was fun, the whole process including training and figuring out the beta. Dangling from the big pockets on the headwall on the final burn is a unique memory, along with lots of great days at the crag with good people. THANKYOU ROCK CLIMBING!!

Very good once you give it a good dusting. Previous attempts had flailed, today it all felt pretty smooth!! Much easier in dry conditions! I wish the big cheese boulder wasn't so hard so it could keep going...!

Many seasons worth of effort. The route is good

Powerful and fingery! So much so that I never really thought i'd get up it. When you finally manage to move upwards on these moves after many years they are really satisfying!

Excellent! Super fun moves, very satisfying I don't think it's harder than frosty so 29 for this crag I reckon. Good to take a break from the beatings on Parasite!

Epic mental battle.. Maybe my longest redpoint project to complete! Excruciating yet ultimately satisfying which is why we keep coming back I suppose..

Really good, fun powerful moves, bullet rock. I climbed it with a rope, too high for me! Maybe with some huge pads

Can be done now that the foothold has returned! Thankyou elves.. such a cool problem!

Brilliant bouldery moves from start to finish. Doesn't get much traffic but it should! Classic and hard for 26 for sure

I forgot how good this route is! 10th anniversary (or close enough). So good to climb without any redpoint jitters and just enjoy it:)

Awesome!! 3 sessions. Classy sequence, took awhile to find the right balance with the heel hook to snatch the slopey pocket. Fell high on the second last attempt! Memorable.

This is a fantastic line! Really nice angle, fun climbing with a cool last move that feels much better in cold conditions! Not sure if the top is worth investing time in to.. looks heinous.

Repeat. One of the best!

I started up turn your eyes so I didn't have to sweep the sand off! Great climbing up the final headwall, for years I thought the move was too heinous! Excellent

Nemesis!! Finally did it with a concentrated effort. Now I must learn to cruise up it so I can try stamp tramp! Cool holds and moves, just so easy to fall off for me! This was a relief

Beautiful! 24 for my money.. Climbed 1st pitch, pulled rope, climbed 2nd pitch with marcus on belay from the ground. Just made it back down with a 70m rope! Brilliant

I finally did the top pitch as well!! I'd rpped down it years agoand inspected the funky crux. Today it was very nice to climb the orange head wall in the afternoon sun. Incredible from bottom to top! What a cool journey

Hard for 28! Oh wait, it's 27... thanks Mr Bullen! 4 days of work!! Well worth scrubbing up- a fingery test piece on splendid stone.
