Ascents in Australia by Brendon Flanagan

A fun problem and a good learning curve for the beginner boulderer wishing to advance their skills. Slightly overhanging with a easy and fun top out.

Got this FA on the third attempt. Lots of dirt and sand to clean off but all gone now. Almost worth a star, almost. Great holds, solid ledges, fun moves working your way up and down as you traverse along to the left. I even go to throw one of my trade mark heel hooks in to allow for a rest and dip my hand into my chalk bag. Really enjoyed this problem. A bit of a challenge for the feet as you cant really see what you're doing with them on occasions.

A warm up problem if repeated several times.

Ouch! Not an easy problem.

Excellent start but some difficult holds for my fat fingers further up.

Truely an amazing problem! Love it but kept failing on the dyno. Can't wait to get back there and finish it! If it doesn't have a star it should be given one!

Working my way through the crux and my hand slid off the winning hold! All I can say is thank the maker that I own a thick crash pad!

It may be a V1 but it offers a lot of fun! A great way to learn how to stabilise yourself by using your palms and knees. Offers a fun challenge for the developing boulderer and an awesome top out.

Love the start to the problem like the rest here. Makes for a fun start.

A great start and a testing traverse trying to keep your feet from touching the ground. An excellent traverse and an easy send.

A solid start with an amazing traverse. Some very good moves and a shared top out with ICBTIC. Excellent problem.

A nice easy problem to get the blood flowing. Good holds and easy moves.

The first half of the problem is quite interesting and lots of fun. The second half of the problem is quite concerning when navigating the bulge to stand up. There's a bit of height so if you fall you'll need more than a spotter to help you. Excellent problem none the less.

Toes on the chossy honeycomb makes for an ugly start but the bomber holds and then fingery top out made it worth the while.

Starting with the honeycomb of choss beneath your toes the problem get quite enjoyable with good holds to work through.

Starting the problem with a trade mark heel hook I headed on through the obvious holds to an easy but slow top out. Excellent to get a heel hook into another problem again!

Been a few months since I've tried this problem so I'd forgotten some of the moves/holds. Still a solid challenge which offers mental mind games (so close yet so far) and frustration with so many attempts. I will conquer you Father Teds Stiff Upper Lip!

It may only be a V1 but it's really fun! The problem offers some differnt styles of satisfy moves. The last two or three moves are the best! Awesome problem for the grade Dave!

Linking up DS and GOYKAPD is the best thing since sliced bread! Two overhangs to pull through, a fun traverse linking them both and a pulse racing top out to boot! Excellent problem! Best I've ever put up. Out of the hundreds of problems I've FA'd this is the first 2 star I've listed! Love it!

A high reach for the start which is the easy part. Awesome knee bar move to stabilise yourself followed by some nerve racking committing moves to reach the top out. Nasty landing if you fall, you'll roll halfway to China!

Another fun filled sit start with a dash of challenge in it.

Nice little challenge offering a fun sit start.

Might need to give the sloppy jug start a brush. A challenging start but the problem offers amazing holds of varying descriptions for the last half of the problem. Lots of fun with this one!

An easy and fun problem that'd be good as an introduction to highball problems for the beginner. Mantle top out with good footers.

This FA is dedicated to a prominent Sydney Boulderer who renewed my faith in the true spirit of the sport. This problem was full of solid holds and prominent footers offering some fun moves and great send. Slightly slopy top out.

Broke a footer off today but luckily found another to take its place. A good little slabby problem.

BLOODY HELL! I put up this problem and I can't remember the sequence! Back to the drawing board for this one.

Not a bad traverse. Takes a bit of balance and careful placement of the toes. A bit tricky with the lack of decent holds so you really need to rely upon your balance on the tiny (and lack of) rails.

WOW Geoff! How will we work the crux!

A great problem and amazing pockets on offer. The top out is the crux and is even harder when you've got the glaring morning sun in your eyes.

Offically my favourite problem at the crag! (not the other one). The top out is challenging and committing with great satisfaction.

What an amazing V1! Challenging top out which will result in a quick beat of the heart. Officially my favourite problem at the crag.

WOW! I'd forgotten how hard the crux can be. Where do I put my feet? How to I utilise the holds? Did I tie my shoe laces? Such an awesome crux! Worthy of the stars it's given!

Seriously people, one of Sydney's most enjoyable problems! Amazing problem with the best views in Sydney!

A great problem that teaches you that straight arms are a must at times.

This problem really offers an amazing top out with a great lead up!

A fun V1 where the down climb is trickier than the problem.

A highball full of juggy goodness! Slow and steady the entire way. Throw in a few smears during the traverse and then up the solid jugs to an easy top out.

Attempted this several years prior to this logging. Will have to get back there and give it a go. Remember struggling with how to use the holds.

My first V2 ever. Did it several years prior to the logging of it. Excellent crux offering a fun challenge!

Once you get your second hand into the crack you're good for the rest of the problem. Getting established into the crack is another thing altogether! Felt like a messy send.

Excellent problem once you figure out how to solve the crux!

Slow and steady results in an excellent problem! Aggressive shoes certainly got me through it. Excellent problem!

Slow and steady results in an excellent problem! Aggressive shoes certainly got me through it. Excellent problem!

A fun problem which requires you to exit around the tree. Be careful!

A fun sit start problem. Easy, achievable for the beginner boulderer and good holds all the way through. Top out a little tricky with lack a feet available. A fun challenge!

WOW! What an epic problem! I couldn't even get through the start and neither could Geoff! This problem is certainly out of my league. FA will defiantly go to someone else worthy of this problem.

Beautiful holds the whole way through. Slow and steady wins the race.

Cant lock my hand in on the much needed hold in the water way groove. I get it in there but just cant get it to stick!
