Ascensiones en Oceania por Vanessa Wills

Huecos need a good brush, but prominent feature

Rock a bit friable on this side

Try no hands. I think my dog would get up this…

A lot of mank between crack and rib but fortunately you don’t need to touch it. There’s a nice hard looking problem on much better rock just to the right waiting to be done…

Not sure if I “ eliminated” enough holds for grade.

Do as sit start for a couple of extra moves

A grade or two harder if you don’t have the reach off the foot pocket to the flake up high. About 20 attempts!

Bonus crux move for the short and a long dead point.

Sit start for more moves

Done many of these about 15 years ago when bouldering was just training….but nice spot on a summers afternoon

Need to do more sit ups. Good practice for something. Best not to have a dog laying on mat below you

May be easier for tall, but if short feet have to come up high in the undercut to be able to throw to ledge. May well have been done before and not written up. Feel free to rename if this is the case.

The sit start definitely adds a grade

It’s nice and clean now

Nice balance feet and tiny holds

Seems the obvious line for the non boulderer definitely not V3 or 4.

No whaling required.

Probably V0. The pine needles on top out make it clean as you go. Interesting I cut crimps.

Nice linkupof crimprails across face.

A few of the top out flakes look a bit dubious

Did it as a layback the whole way up, but it wouldn’t get a 16 at monkey face

I just did stuff and consulted guide later, again this line seemed nice. Nice area and surprisingly nice rock, good work on the development- and some good opportunities for a clean up of bogan rubbish.

Not sure that the blob resembles a brain, probably a bit soft for v5, but the starting dead point to crimp suits me

Got to the crimp on slab but nervous without a spotter. Nice to there

Seems obvious to go straight up arete from jug, but then I’m not a boulderer and don’t understand the rules

On way to airport. Slippery conditions

A fair few crunchy holds, did R to L but did in 2 halves after holds broke

I think this was some type of hybrid diagonally across honeycomb pockets. Got clean to lip at about v3. Fun enough but Lots of crap rock in this area.

Retreated upwards

Enjoyed this, felt at limit of my span

Pretty easy if you are taller than me, but even so it wasn’t too bad.

If I just held onto minging seams and ignored the mono does that count?

This was quite fun

Took me a while to commit to the top out

Pretty crozzly rock on the way up and had to be careful with mantle

Couldn’t commit to the mantle without a spotter and down climbed

The exit right would require more commitment and spotters, I chickened out left which was still fun

A nice positive top out

About 15 times down, good up and down

Finally got to this area as sun went down. Great starting holds and a toe hook

Difficulty depends on how low you start

May favour shorter people

The easy slab is also good
