Ascensiones en Oceania por Damien Ayers

Lots of fun, good warm up.

Felt a lot harder than it used to be, I'm out of practice.

In the hot hot sun, pulled through the two cruxes, and the rest was quite easy, albeit still pumpy and sweaty.

Pull kinda hard on little holds. Not as good as Low. Maybe an alzheimer's, not really sure.

Really cool rock, really fun moves. Maybe an alzheimer's, but I don't remember.

Flash attempt, kind of close, but didn't get my feet high enough. Fun climb.

Climbing with the Fam, bit hard for the kids though, maybe when they're taller.

Oh my, crazy anxiety, maybe because the kids were almost losing it at the end of the day. But, climbed it much better than last time, and none of it felt too hard.

Felt easy for some reason. Fun.

Onsight attempt, climbed soooo badly for the first few bolts, then went the wrong way up high and climbed myself into a corner. Got out, but too pumped to think.

Brilliant climbing in a spectacular location. The orange upper section of the wall is superb. Rather pumpy also.

Rescuing some gear that was left behind after the incident with the tree.

Clipped the first bolt from the tree, then followed the arete while reaching across to clip the bolts. Was actually quite fun, and looked stupid contrived and ugly to not use the arete.

Humid and scared.

Cool climb! Specific hand beta got me through the crux since I'm weak. And my beta wouldn't work if you're shorter.

So not used to trade.

Bit tricky up high. I liked it.

Fun fun, not 23.

Couldn't do the start, so hard, but fun to try and the rest was really fun.

Pulled through the start after a couple of goes, awesome after that!

Thanks for putting the draws on Dan, I don't is have gotten the onsight today.

Sweet sweet bridging. Felt easier than Princess... If you asked me I'd swap the grades. But then, I love corners.

Plenty of fun, stiff for a warm-up for me at the moment.

oooof. Such a good climb, that just keeps going and going and going. I could really feel my lack of endurance, and got a little desperate in a couple of spots, but managed to hang in there and keep going.

Such good placements (5 cams and 10 wires), such good rock, such good movements.

Was made rather more epic by bringing the kids in. And there was still some small patches of snow on the track up to the top. Glorious sunny weather.

So much fun, until it gets thin up top and I forgot how to use my feet, or small holds, or just climb in general.

Really fun, REALLY thin.

Working on top rope. I think to the left is better, the feet are better, but the hands are thinner. Still need a sequence that works.

Bit of a hard warm up after so many months of not climbing. Allllmost got the onsight, but fell off the last move, pumped as a goose. Looking forward to next time.

Much easier than Dodecahedron, but very worthwhile too. Pleasant climbing and a lovely ramble w/ view to the top.

Oooof, where has all my endurance gone!? Third climb, and just had nothing, but managed to slog/fall my way to the top. Nice and long with a funky roof near the top.

Straightforward climbing up the black rock, then brilliant up the orange rock at the top. Maybe hard for 18, or maybe it was just the mega humidity today.

Cool climb, but very sandy and slimy today. Fell off once trying to traverse left, well worth doing again.

A bit wet. Cool moves through bulge, then ugly chose to the chains.

Cold! So cold!

Tricky, engaging, painful finger locks, the rock on the face is much better quality than it looks.

Poor foot positioning up high sent me flying. But felt pretty solid and secure until that point!

Another nice climb on a sweet looking boulder.

Perfect name, it had to be climbed. Psyched to tick it, had just about given up, but got it at the last shot.

Tricky top out, huge jugs, nice moves.

Was supposed to be my warm up, but felt much harder than expected.

Desperate at the crux, but somehow managed to hold on.
