Ascents in Oceania by Steffi Quijote

such a sick climb! Love the roof section. sustained hand crack to a fist/layback combination to pull past the offwidth - streneous but pure fun!

First pitch has some spicy bits and lots of choss. 2nd pitch is insane! Hard start then easy but intimidating chimneying. 3rd pitch is a 2 move wonder off the belay then easy fun jams to easy ramble at the top. By the time we reached the top the sun had set and we spent probs around 1h looking for the rap station. Epic day!

amazing climb. has it all! feels soft for the grade?

felt so tired at the end of the trip. did the 17 direct start, that was nails, the rest was easy. that toaster sized loose block is a bit scary.

did not enjoy this a much as conquistador but mostly due to the fact that thin bridging/chimney is not my style. it went much better then expected even thought it felt really insecure. top is then quite strenuous with the occasional jam to rest

did this for the experience only. felt quite destroyed after conquistador and DD so jugged after a while of hard chimneying. felt like fun caving!

awesome climb with a crimpy reachy first half that took a few tries to figure out beta that worked for me and painful fists to finish

omg this was so good! first hard bit was the fist section but shuffled along and it went well until the crux at the thin hands. couldnt get my hands to stick. after that did a fun boulder sequence (thanks for the beta jacob) with a gaston, a finger lock and a crimp that worked surprisingly well. easier, but not too easy to the top.

was wet, my head game was poor and i made the start much harder then need be (who wouldnt go for the overhanging fist crack over some easy face moves to the left?) fun climb though!

was an awesome climb! awkward start with some chimney moves, then amazing jams all the way! felt really good on it and got all the moves - just need to milk those rests a bit more.

chimney, stem corner with some face holds

mostly face climbing. weird..

loved this climb. hard out of the cave and then again at the this hands

had another go. got it clean this time!

rest day - kinda. again on top rope. had to rest once after faffing around a long time at the awkward start.

... and beers. Dave bet jacob some beers that he would like this climb - he did not and we earned some beers. The first half is really fun and jammy and the second is actually only thrutchy for like 3m so not too bad. we did an alternate finish to the left into pure choss...

this time on top rope to dial that wide section - and it worked! just trust the fists!

got some top rope help for the nails start - need more strength for this. the jamming section was really sustained but felt so good! awesome climb!

got scared on the this hands but the moves are not that hard and its fun

such an awesome feature and such good jams! (even though i laybacked a bit for the wide section at the bottom..) felt pretty good. The start is an unprotected but really, really fun boulder move. sunset was sooo pretty

nice climb. the flake at the top is quite streneous

fun climb with a few thin jams that felt scary but good feet kept it all together

nothing outstanding but still good

had an epic on this due to a stuck rope on odin. awesome climb with a tough unprotected start and amazing jams at the top.

what an inspiring climb! without the magic block it is apparently 22 now, but did not find it quite so hard with some fists far inside and a side pull (top rope courage? ). start is easy (for the grade) and finish is sustained jams

ange really wanted to do this chimney.. awkward size, so i mostly hand jammed in the back

ange got her first 18 onsight! quite easy but the crux packs a punch with insecure fists/armbars

top rope session to learn how to stack. hand/hand and hand/fist stacks went super well, but the top was incredibly hard - resorted to face holds a fair amount

quite strenuous for a 13..

another party. tough start (where is totally laybacked abit), then easing off to jugs at the top

back to lead

such an awesome climb. unfortunately it started raining at the stem section at the top. had a bit of a freak out and then just pushed on to finish when the rain got heavier - good motivator

rest day. intro to aid climbing. tried some skyhooks and camhooks, watched jacob rip some gear and knock himself in the eye, and jugged up the climb

smokestack party on sunset! It was epic. face climbed around the horrible thrutch at the bottom, chimney is quite sustained and then watched satan himself aka Jacob ascend in the dark with out of the red glowing chimney

had a bit of on epic on this one...tough, and not only the finger section. awkward offwidth to finish. did a heel hook on a loose block to get into it...

nice jamming with some face rests

fun corner

mega fun moves

couldnt commit to climb above gear on jams, dogged around for a while and then decided to practice it on toppy a bit more

feels a bit harder than 18...

easy except for that one crux move

leader almost knocked himself out with a #6. was pretty funny

fun little number

good crack practise

fun varied climbing. found the offwidth finish hard

fun climb. almost got the onsight but got scared to commit to my first proper fist jam...

great line! hand section is strenuous while the fist section is slightly to wide for me, making the jams insecure but workable

fun climb! def need at least one #4 and #5. top is quite runout

awesome climb. offwidth would be scary on lead and top is quite strenuos with slightly difficult jams

still dont like this climb. the start is hard for the grade
