Nodes in Melanesia

Big orange walls with an atmospheric feel.

Easy if you have a private yacht

An awesome looking splitter crack thats just a bit smaller than fist size except for the end.

Starts just a few metres right of FOF. Goes up the corner then follows the crack up and slightly out right on the top head wall. Looks a bit harder than Fists of Fury.

The obvious #4 #5 crack to the right of Fists. Can be done by bumping single #5. A good warm up before the classic of the wall.

thin seam crack boulder

Stella looking wall on the opposite side of fists of fury.

Easy Rambling crack that leads up into a steep exciting finish. Closed Project

Start as for Lean Streak for 3 bolts to ledge, then take left line of bolts up the wall. Grade 21 slabbing to the 2nd last bolt, then a hard finish on right-facing edges trending right, before busting back left to anchor.

The opposing wall, corner, and crack to the left are "out".

Can belay from ground-level (10 bolts), or from a single U-Bolt on the ledge (7 bolts).

Precise and Technical!

The first ascentionist had to lose 10kg to get the FA.

Follow the line of bolts up past the black streak to DRB lower offs.

Start off the ledge and up Lean Streak for two bolts then traverse right along the rail to clip bolt. Be careful this is runout and could be a ledge fall. Can supplement with a trad piece if you want. Then up the arete to the last hard moves. Take a long panic if you want for the bolt up high. She's also a touch runout. Great position

Little mini roof to ultra technical wall climbing. Embrace the pinky gasto.

Hanging knife blade arete that screams to be climbed.

Well hard climbing just right of the knife arete in the middle of the wall.

The corner

The wall right of corner, slap that arete.

Traverse in from the right along the hand rail and up onto ledge. Then up over mini roof into brain rock for the finish. Fun adventure climbing. Be mindful cleaning not to take a massive swing at the very bottom. Definitely harder off the ledge if you’re short.

Awesome features and rock. 22-23?

Old Covid project finally gets a FA. Step of the block and straight up. Mega !!

The direct very thin line underneath BB. Stick clip high first bolt and good luck trying to clip the 2nd, if you get to the 3rd bolt it’s all over, finish up BB to top.

Shared first bolt with the climb to the left, move right and up the juggy seam to an exciting move at the last bolt.

The warm up on the big wall. Start up 'COVID Fit' for 3 bolts (long draw on the 3rd) then move right into the easy bit on 'Have I Told You Lately'.

Fun cruxy moves to start then around the left of the cave on stunning rock.

Another fun climb on this wall. Climb up through the mini roof and then up through the gully section into the cave through the roof. Finish up the top left on the same anchors as HITYL. Some rope management is required through the cave section. Some clipping then unclipping as you go helps reduce rope drag and makes it easier to clean

Such a fun and wandering line on amazing rock. Make your way through the first mini roof then climb to the right below the cave. Then up some rock that is reminiscent of the Gramps to the finally! Might be 24-25

the line !! mega if i can do it

You know where they are. Warm up here !

3D Disco climbing on the left side of the slabs. Nice and easy

The tricker start to 'Gateway to Pang' via a single bolt to the right. Both routes merge at the second bolt.

Left route on the slab. Stay direct (slightly right of the last bolt) to earn the grade, or McDougall out left to 'Gateway to Pang' for grade 15 tick.

Fun little route right of SoE

Easy start for a few bolts and then it gets interesting.

Punchy moves, on your right as you are coming down the gully & around to the right of the slab if you are facing it. Slightly overhung and consistent climbing.

Can be climbed quite technically using tiny holds but there are a few options. Maybe 22, maybe 23.

Ledge above the Underworld.

Start at the 'Decadence Wall' rap station, but instead of rapping, climb upwards instead.

3 metres before rap chains, below a thin crack, up passed the party ledge to a reach finish.

Directly below Descent Slabs

The hard looking arete left of S7S

G to 1st lower offs on ledge

Great technical climbing up the wall to a chossy cave before the final layback crux. A Bargo test piece!

No routes between 8 Ball and 7 Seas. Both routes wander into this space.

Big awesome moves on amazing orange rock.

Vertical orange rock. A few big moves.

Climb starting off the ledge left of the corner. Fun wandering climb. Shares the same last 3m of climbing with KOS.

Up the arete to the right of the corner, then into the corner after the cave. This climb wanders and has some blind holds. Fun adventurous climbing.

Fun adventure with lots of varied moves. Nice and airy near the top with some delicate moves. If Damo calls it 23 then it’s 23.

Funky and a bit exciting at the last bolt before the anchors.

First route at the bottom of the descent gully. Start by pulling with care on the rickety flake. Clip the low bolt to avoid dropping into the muddy abyss if you underestimate how tricky this little slab is.

Easy if you have a private yacht

Start at the belay ledge and take the left set of bolts. Traverse left just above the cave roof the up. Climb up through the gap in the two big boulders in the cave to the top.

Start at lower belay ledge down and left of Bundy junk. Links the giant pockets on golden orange rock. Ignore the first set of lower offs and go to the top of the cliff.

Up SP to the big jug. Go direct up the thin bulging wall to the top. Hard and Rad !!

The Corner crack

Rad position and mega rock. Not too hard

Access pitch for the classics, finish on the belay anchors for S&P, or a fun little route on its own (get someone to second). Up C&B until the mini roof, move left for a couple of bolts to the belay ledge. Good foot work makes it easy !!

Long, wandery 3D adventure climbing with so many styles. Starts at the bottom of the cliff fridge hugging or the alternative easier start left of the bolts.

An alcoved area spanning between two domineering hanging aretes at either end.

Corner left of Instagram Arete, probably ongoing half-done closed project. Anchors at top.

Photogenic ! awesomeness

Stemming and layback corner right of Instagram Arete. Climb the start of Insta Arete or Hanging by a Thread and step into the obvious corner at predominant ledge. As with all routes at Bargo, be careful of loose rock

Possibly a little contrived to stay out of the corner, but fun either way. Top head wall is awesome.

Sweet corner to a break, then vertical crack to lower offs.

Beautiful rock

Little pockets on bullet hard stone. The right side of mini wall closest to Ships Prowl.

An Easy Trad route that starts up a stemming corner onto a ledge. Then up the cave features and cracks to the top. Has one additional bolt at the first ledge for shorties that cant reach the crack for pro. This is optional only.

the route in the middle of wall

Left of Lacey

Plenty of adventure in this one. Right side of prow.

Wandery and adventurous climbing up through some varied and crazy conglomerate rock bands.

From the main cliff base path take the worn path right in towards the wall, and follow the access rungs for a scramble up to the ledge.

Easy jugging quickly leads to increasingly sustained technical climbing with little rest.

Could be 22, but we need a 21 on the wall.
