Ascents in Oceania by Kyle Addy

Great little climb!

Nice climbing easy for 23

I really enjoyed this one, also got a hand jamb!

Gave it a lash to warm up after giving a belay. really nice climbing, came down after having a go at the crux. Doesn’t actually seem all that hard. It’s a real shame this climb suffered a lot of glue with poor workmanship on holds that probably aren’t that crucial. But still a good route.

Holy moly this is hard, had a quick go and couldn’t really get to the second bolt

Exciting, 5 bolts, bring a 2 Camelot for a pod near the top. Nut belay in a flake

Holy shit balls this was a tough line. Through a TR over to have a look and I think I fell about 15 times. Steep and sustained, individual moves aren’t to hard but it’s a cracka of a line hard for the grade

Sent second shoot had one fall at the crux move, broke beta from the coconut tree heel hug instead make match my foot to my hand like a mad man

Regret at risk of first bolt after backing out of the mantle, no falls though. This climb has some really nice and interesting moves. 2nd led of the day still adapting to style. Yeah

What a line. I lead the first pitch, awesome movement with creative nests between stances. Dan lead the second first time leading since breaking his ankle months ago. Amazing job and held himself together really well. very hard to clean. Bring a rock or a even a little hammer to hit out the nut placements they just bite into the granite.

First climb of the trip, took a couple of goes to pull on but rest went cruisy

Lead on hexs and ran it out to the top

Warm up

Logging some ascents from frog in a froq. I lead the top out after gen lowered from the crux. I Climbed absolutely terrible and got a little scared

Showing TeeTeeBahaha up one of the best.

5th time, one of my favourites delicate and balancy with burger gear including key hole #2 RPs though you may become a four legged monster if you fall placing them.

Lovely and groovy

Fabulous piece of climbing even though its less than 10m high. Great gear once you find where to put it

Not bad actually but climbing the left arete of the groove seemed nicer than groovy awkwardness

With gen and frosty about a month ago and again to half way to do anti form

Some tense moments watching an off the couch frosty gingerly making his way up this. There seems like there’s good and average gear available but an excellent journey.

Laps wearing volleys to make foot work that little bit desperate

Really fantastic climbing the whole way. Found it pretty relaxing which made for an absorbing enjoyable onsight.

Fantastic climbing 1st pitch is very manageable with a 4-5-6. There is 100% a eagle in the crack. 2nd pitch traverse is awesome. A classic in my books

This would have been exciting wearing sand shoes in 1966. This climb is Fantastic if your into this sort of thing, Quality adventure climbing. I don’t think it’s sandbagged but just don’t fall off. Climb smart like back in the 60s, Stand up feel around step back down then commit. First and second are runout but manageable. Third is absolute class. Pitch 4 spoils it a bit, I was a little nervous hanging my body weight of both hands on a block which I soon realised was detached. Pitch 5 is ordinary. I don’t know why people enter pitch 3 by a different way I think it would take away the historical element and class of the line.

For a grunty dirty awkward groove I actually found this quite fun. Leading it would have been less fun.

Nice, I got a mantle into shoulder jamb

Old tick, really nice little problem

Another old tick, cool line, good intro to scary frog

Tried this couple of years ago and used my 2 cams in the first 2m, hahaha. Old tick

Simply amazing

Fantastic little climb

I remember being rather gripped of this back then, good small gear.

Very shouldery boulderly move for frog. I wouldn’t think twice if it got 23, Felt as hard a deliverance. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Deserves 2 stars.

Felt pretty good after ONAL so sussed the gear and went for it. Felt harder, scarier, more runout on worse gear. I was rather scared but held it together and keep composure for a dicey tense lead. Climbing is probably 22 extra grade for seriousness?

I swung over and had a look to see how the gear was. Felt pretty confident so tied in and went for it. All the gear is bomber just that one section where your in decking territory. Didn’t feel as hard as 22 and felt really controlled the whole way. Really nice feety climbing that deserves more love.

Check out the gear rapping off if, still didn’t really have the gear sorted though this was quite desperate in full sun.

Topped roped it a few times in the past weeks and thought I had chance. Topped roped this morning clean while placing then full lead. So stoked.

Sent second go after bail at the offwidth
