Ascents in Oceania by Phil Neville

V8/9 i think. Enduro problem

V9/10. Awesome movement

All moves bar one just after the crux... amazing line

Surprised myself. Hit the first move a few times, and linked from 2nd move through to the top. Totally doable. Will be hard to link the first 3 moves together tho. So Powerful!

Bunch of shots late 2016, down to a sit and in overlapping sections. To be sorted in 2018 hopefully. Not 32 starting up chasin'.

Lots of hard moves in row. Nothing crazy, but it just keeps building. Conditions were not amazing, but got some good links.

Not sure i'll be back for this one in hurry. Pretty grunty

Finally figured out the first half after a few previous absolute floggings. Surprisingly techy for a brutal thug fest. Keen to spend some time on this.

sneaky beta makes it a bit easier, still, the landing keeps you honest at the end

A little sharp but two amazing moves to start. Done in a session with zero skin left.

Never thought I'd ever do this. Lots of tricks. You really need to commit to the end, all or nothing. Great moves. Prob V9/10 I would think.

Did all the moves pretty steady, but linking is a different story. A dream route for me!

Super cool boulders. One hard move on slopes at the first bolt I struggled with, rest felt great. Solid link from 2nd bolt, through crux to just below the top. Totally doable. Will be back on a cooler day.

Progress. Did the first boulder from the ground. Linked from bolt two to the top. Stick with it!!

Linked from the ground into 2nd crux, but felt miles away from doing it. Linkee again from there to the top. Baby steps. Need to ramp up the power for this thing, and have it 10 degrees cooler.

Huge progress from last time. Refined loads of micro beta. Just need to refresh the headwall and get the fitness levels up. Psyched.

Speed mission today. Two new high points. Getting into 3rd and main crux. Maanged a reasonable link through from main crux to the knee bar on the headwall but arms failed masively after that. Keen so spend some summer arvos here and try and get this one done. Has to be a contender for the best linkup in the land.

New beta unlocked 2nd crux. Game on!

Oh man, what a line!! Haven't been this psyched on a route for a while! One exploratory lap, all moves easy bar 2n which just need a bit more skin and oomph. I will do this route!

Smackdown! Felt 3 grades harder than last time. Strugled with both boulders

Sorted first crux move and played on main crux.

Awesome way to finish 2019. Starting to link some moves together. Bolt 2 through till 5 (first crux). Figured out the beta and body position for top crux and repeated sequence half a dozen times. Fitness will come with time on the route. Pretty psyched to do this thing. Amazing moves and rock.

First burn, fell at top boulder. 4 moves to go.

Busted of low crux, then linked from below first crux to top.

Deiceded to have one more go, another promising burn. Still managed the link from below first crux to top... super promisisng at end of the day. Overlapping sections and one sit every shot.

Such fantastic climbibg.

Equal high point putting draws on.

Hit crux hold for a second. So close.

Tired and spoogy. Still managed to flail and fall of the end. Equal high point. Just need the stars to align.

Yeah baby! What an awesome problem.

Repeatamundo.. first go today and still rad!

Happy times. Lovin the september sessions!

Good times, Lovin the september sessions!

Classic line. Great moves. Great position. Committing. Everything you want

Getting pretty close now. Feeling strong.

Itl go, just need fresh tips.

Soo close to the send, last hard move. Awesome problem!

Rad rad rad!!! Such cool moves, very possible with some roof enduro.

Nearly flashed then it all fell apart. Conditions were surprisingly smeggy

After work session. Sorted the opening moves, just can't quite stick the transition onto the flake feature. Psyched to do this thing. 4 pads is the minimum... 5 might make me braver haha.

All moves sorted now and linked in two sections on the rope. Need to get back with a pad stack. Colder weather helps!

Got super close, climbed from pulling on with good RH to top twice. Just got to nail the first move.

Got through the hard bits, chickened out at the top with no spot

Found this hard. Weird slopey pocs and a mingin crimp!

So ducking cool. Wish there were more probs like this. Great moves and holds.

Stellar! Propper stoked to send this one!

The best!

Hot diggity damn, philby is a happy man. 2nd go today and steady, aside from the the slight sequence change at the top. Stoked.

In the words of Joey-O... and klem.... "Alone in a big room."

refresher. did all the moves before I hurt my back. Can't wait to send this crimpy test piece

I set this a little goal in my head when I started climbing again after 18 months of. First day back on and so psyched. Sorted all the moves and very solid links. I can do this route!!!

Some progress and refinement. New beta for first crux, 1-2 more moves, but much more solid. Good link from below 2nd crux to the top.

Yay for new beta. First lap today went bolt to bolt without a single fall. All moves solid as a rock!

2nd go, got a highpoint, falling of in the 2nd crux and managed the hard clip. Imagine if I hadn't been sick all week and had actually trained in the last 2 weeks.

Getting reacquainted. Easy getting the draws in, not enough PE for linkage. So damn cold

End of the day demolition. Did all the moves through the crux. Awesome!!

Aww man so close. Fell of last hard move. Not over there but you'd be in with a damn good chance to send. Alas my finger is now pretty damn sore.
