Ascents in Oceania by chou chou halperin having trad-cpr or ascent-date

So good. Seems a jug fell off recently, but the new (harder) boulder is sweet.

Got it second redpoint burn. Placed the trad gear on lead. Classic, flowy climbing. Almost punted off the top, lucky Kris yelled at me with so much force that I managed to pull through.

Two good bits on the climb, but otherwise very forgettable. Easiest of the three.

After work lap. Still classic.

Scoped the gear and then climbed first go. Some fiddly gear but super safe. Very nice route! A direct finish looks possible (and possibly excellent).

Very cool route. Lacks flow, but it's great how it has a bit of everything. Went up first go right after the rain and it was quite spooky--much better in the dry!

Ridiculously good. Technical and unlikely crux. Two fairly different styles across both halves. It's just a shame about the rest ledge at half way.

Lovely face route, shame it's so short. Heaps of gear, but it's hard to hang around to place. If only the route had an anchor up top! Even a big sling and maillon around the boulder would suffice. I finished direct (great final moves) rather than traversing out to the left anchor.

Because I topped out direct, the the only logical option seemed to be to scramble up the two choss gullies above, roped up for the second one, to reach the top anchor. Huge pain in the butt! Rapping down though, it looked we could have just downclimbed the little gully right of the route.

Nice route. Appropriate name!

Short but perfect. Next time without the LH stem.

Seemed nice, but greasy in the sun.

Very nice climbing on flat holds. I thought this was the hardest and most sustained of the three newer routes here. Apparently it feels more like 18 if you wander right in the difficult sections?

One move wonder, but a good move.

Scoped it out. Unprotected start crux makes no sense when there's a bolt at the same height on the climb over(!). Sure there's a good offset nut, but the hardest bit is over by the time you get there. Otherwise borderline classic.

Varied climbing with a bouldery crux. The gear is good the whole way but pretty effortful to place mid-crux if you're worried about the ledge fall.

Sweet little face climb. And the rock and pro are fine throughout. I agree with Swan that it's probably 20 at Araps, but it definitely felt a grade harder than Rickety Kate.

Quite good. Would be 3* if it were 3x as long.

Sick. Spread 'em! Sustained and thinky stemming on a route that keeps on giving until the end.

Fun. Big moves between good holds.

Weird and a bit heady, but I really liked it. Wish I'd saved a 0.3 for the pocket up top.

Been years that I've wanted to send this. Finally came back and did it first go today. Awesome route. Nails crux.

Amazing limestone-like mega jugs.

The best route of the crag? Nice crack of sustained interest. Harder than it looks.

Woah totally bananas. The intense winds the whole way up only added to the atmosphere. This route encompasses most styles at Frog and is full value the whole way up. Hand crack? Tick. Fat offwidth? Tick. Finger locking? Tick. Face climbing? Tick. Stemming? Tick. Big moves on big jugs? Tick. I loved it.

Incredible. And I would never do it again. Lovely technical stemming suddenly morphs into a flaring rough body groove. Protection is excellent throughout, mostly on small nuts. Get on it!

Totally worth going up to the ledge to do this. Gear is a bit fiddly but it's all there.

Lovely climb, if only it went on a little longer! I'm definitely out of jamming shape; this was basically a face climb with finger locks for me.

Super fun!

Heaps fun. Worth a star even at Araps. Very well protected, but exposed position.

Oh hey I forgot about this one. Pretty sure it was OS, as I doubt I would have wanted to repeat the committing start. Quite fun, and substantially easier after the first 5m.

Quick after work lap. Tried once last year and once today. Sick route.

Woah that sequence is surprisingly pumpy.

Altzheimers flash after seconding it 2 years ago. What a fantastic line. I'd built it up to be much more difficult than it was and treaded a bit too slowly and lightly, but great fun all the same.

Accidentally climbed this intending to do AR. Seemed more logical. One funky move is all that really distinguished it from AR.

Interesting route. Not really my thing, but seems easy to protect and the butterfly handstacks are pretty cool.

Did a TR recce. Did all the moved and gear seems alright. Amazing route. But I heard some soft tissue tear as I moved off the mono! ouch...

Send. Yay.

Cool little route. I found the crux move really hard, but I probably did it wrong.

Nice long and varied route. 18 in book, which feels right. Bring your wide stuff.

Send, yay. Plenty of great gear makes this route very sporty.

Loved it. Took way too long to figure out the two crux sequences, but that only made the send all the sweeter. Heaps of variety and great rock (if we ignore the pinned flake).

So apparently there's gear before the bulge? I tied off a 1cm chickenhead...

Decent

Funky cruxes and generally quite pleasant. Worthwhile for sure.

Excellent route. Avoiding any grunting in the three overlaps makes for some very nice face climbing. This took me three goes- almost got it second go, but my crack glove rolled up and I took the whip.

Led P2. Whack crux.

Really nice balance route. Pro is delicate but good.

Quick tr lap to scope it out. Low down seems daunting to lead in terms of pro.

Had a few pieces left up from my first go. Got on it planning to grovel my way up and somehow sent it. Yay.

Approach shoes. Doesn't look like much, but it's quite good.

A pleasant and well protected grade 17 crack ramble, and then a crazy crux (v2?). I got almost totally horizontal on a series of knee-bars to get through!

Very good and thought provoking. Well worth doing. However, the middle is quite serious due to the poor rock quality and lacklustre pro.
