Ascents in Oceania by Alex Hartshorne having trad-cpr or ascent-date

Some of the dirtiest, loosest and nastiest rock on the pipes.

Excellent.

Lead placing all gear, laughable at 24.

First pitch is a bit sketchy but fine with small wires.

Most of the climb is spent trying not to climb malignant mushroom, staying on average rock. The last 6m of climbing on the arete is very good however.

A bit escapable but good climbing!

Absolutely brilliant climb that has faded into obscurity. It required quite some cleaning of grass etc. but I left all the little shrubs as they're cool.

Due to my big fat hands I found this desperate even at 23, but Anna thought 22 with her wee mitts?

Reminds me of Atlantis and Holiday in Cambodia, but better, much harder and way more sustained.

Really good with a tricky thin hands groove.

Reccomend doing it as a single long pitch with 3x hand sized cams.

Rad route. Took a few goes due to greasy conditions today.

Better and harder than Expendable Youth not all that sustained.

I thought I was trying a 28 but it would make sense at 27 on a better conditions day. I also never found your kneebar Claudio!

Take a #1 c4.

Pretty good, tricky sizes for me.

Rad day out!

The climbing was a touch dirty in places but that's expected as this is an epic place.

The 26 pitch was great, the boulder problem in the corner felt hard but I'm a bit out of shape. Solved with granite squirm style! A knee pad would change things.

There where a couple of spots where clipping was difficult, pre equip for sure.

The desperate and scary mantle got easier as I pulled a minger off leaving a positive slot.

thisis quite good and not a soft touch at 22. Odd choice of bolting ethics though!

Utterly desperate, but quite good.

Big fat sandbag at 23. Kinda scary placing gear too.

Easily the best route I've climbed on the white granite.

The crux is uber technical and whilst well protected there is always the possibility of massive airtime.

Awesome position! Definitely a gnarly, slippery sandbag, and placing gear is pumptastic. Probably around the same grade as Karma Sutra.

What a hidden gem!

Very tricky and committing traverse crimping on slick pebbles.

I rapped in to inspect the semi-rotten carrot and found it 'just' ok. Is that a flash? Meh. Be careful.

Probably 24 R realistically.

Battled the slime and worked at night. Changed the crux beta a bit and sent.

Brilliant and varied climb, with a reachy crux.

Brilliant sustained climbing.

The steep trad crack climbs like Arapiles whilst the rest is classic Bare Rock sustained face.

Love it.

Sweet! Pretty psyched to get this! Definitely pure slab brutality at just the angle where the creditcard holds also need to be yarded on.

Ended up taking 3 shot's, today so skin is shredded.

Felt hard but 12d pure slab is really hard, could be 13a... Unsure.

Rad thin thin corner crack. The meat and potatoes is in the first 6m past black and blue aliens. However my fat fingers meant the fun is far from over at the .3's.

Soft, possibly 26 if you dont have sausage fingers.

Awesome. A grade harder than taste sensation.

Was shut down by this years ago. Approached with better crack climbing technique and it went very quickly!

Cool long route. Hard boulder past a wierd pinch hold.

Really good flared courner. A bit dirty but not too bad.

Required some gardening.

Pretty good technical cimbing more outside the crack than expected. Gear a little tricky. Probably at the upper end of 25.

Epic. Similar to the Free Route but way more crimpy.

Awesome burly climbing. All gear placed on lead, a little blind and scary at times. I've never placed gear upside down from a kneebar before...

Possibly lower end 29.
