Ascents in Oceania by James S having trad-cpr or ascent-date

Gear was already in for the most part but still happy to flash a style that I haven't done much of.

Will have to come back for a pink point or red point attempt on Trad! Loved both the crux sections.

Brilliant intro to trad multi with some cruxes to keep a sport climber honest! Did this on a super hot day but with a breeze and early-ish start it was fine (off the climb at about 11 or 11:30am).

Do yourself a favour and stick clip the first bolt! Spicy for the grade.

I took a full rack of wild country friends and a #6 nut up this one.

Wish I’d done this as my first multi! Would have been perfect training for Bunny Bucket. Only need 2-3 medium to large cams. Also all the carrots seem to have been replaced with bolts or were we missing something?

A whole lotta fun with some unique moves for this bumbly sport climber. Well protected with only a single rack of cams and a single sling over the horn.

Led all on gear though my first cam in the horiztonal break fell out.

First single pitch mixed climb... Fun moves and solid gear all the way to the top - with a spicy runout in the middle..

Always a pleasure!

Still a brilliant climb. End of day to clean the route.

I linked this up by moving left for an all sport climb. Setting up top rope.

Came off down low and then clean to the top

Had a play with the bottom half. Rad!

Cleaning the route

Top class exposure for the masses. Loved the vista from the P3 traverse. Marty W was a true legend who came out despite being sick as a hangdog and let me lead all the pitches for my first trad/mixed climb. Got off route on the final Grade 17 variant and ended up going right, placing a couple of cams and topping out the old-skool way.

Cleaning

Got spat out by the crack and took my first proper trad fall. Back to crack school for me!
