Ascensions dans Oceania sportive par Phil Neville

Quick play at end of the day. Need to get back. So good

Great fun

2nd session. Linked through to top crux on Anus Horibilus but was pretty smoked. Easy one to train for, just need to up the pump capacity a little. Stoked with progress.

Two burns. All moves sorted and a couple of ok links. Pretty happy for off the couch. I'll be back

Sorted all hard moves. Top was soaked.

Very blue mtns. Really worthwhile!!

Had a look on the way down the 23. Fantastic rock through the middle section.

Stupidly decided to heel rock-over for the crux and felt something in my hammy go pop. Not that easy for 23.

Awesome steep climbing. 2nd go. Just barely held on to clip the anchor, had to swap hands a few times to clip the draw. First climbing day since early March and fitness was not great.

Woohoo, I did the move... couldn't repeat it next shot though. Aweosme link from the brains to the top. Keen to get back.

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

Much better than I remember... rock has cleaned up and its much safer now. Was dodgy as in the original state. Great headwall. First go after a TR warm up run.

Absolutely Aweosme! Great latter day addition. 2nd shot.

Boom! Top boulder is stellar!

Hard warm up but probs ok once you know it.

A little sandy in the middle, but great opening boulder and stellar finish!! One sit. Feels super doable.

Just a quick exploratory refresh lap. Found a new sequence. Will hopefully get back for another go before we leave.

Rad! Finish is hard when your gassed.

Brutal. 3 moonboard probs back to back. Prob 27 i reckon. 3rd shot.

Brutal start. Not my fave on this wall.

Tricky. Climbed poorly so this felt quite hard.

Tricky white rock.

Really good. Probs 23/24 though. JJ beta saved me.

2nd shot. Cool moves. 2nd ascent?

Foot pop at crux and awkward fall. Thin and hard.

Tough over roof. Thought it was 21 when starting... surprised to have to pull so hard.

New beta unlocked 2nd crux. Game on!

Bouldery sections split by good rests. Top is funky! 2nd shot.

Hard at the EOD. Should try fresh one time and will probably cruise it. Bolting at this crag really is bullshit.

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.

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

Brutal start. Not sure i was even close. Solid link from bolt 2 to the top on 2nd lap with one silly fall. Totally doable if i can figure out the start.

Good value for the grade.

Great boulder. 3rd shot. Tired and unfit haha

2nd shot. Great rock in the lower half. Neils sequence is bogus. (2)

Waited years for a good flash go... failed miserably haha. 2nd shot. V. Avg conditions today. Went backwards on wild orchids

Progress. Linked from the ground through crux to bolt 4, then to the top. The headwall is still hard and pumpy and exciting. Will be back soon.

Sweeet. Feeling super solid on the crux, will link from the ground soon. Upper headwall is harder than expected. Couple of very tricky moves after a long section on slopes.2 sits. Happy for first day effort.

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

One move higher. Stuck the sloper but too gassed to bump. Happy with that on 3rd shot of the day. Doing the link from bolt 4 to the top consistently after falling. Enjoy the process philby.

Great to get back on this and see progression. 2 new high points today and only 4-5 moves to go. Felt solid on all moves. Great winter proj.

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.

2nd shot. Felt impossible initially.

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

Mega classic of the 2 bolt route variety. Try not to flip upside down and land on your head.

What a ride. Techy slab weirdness to start, then crazy roof, with super tension boulder problem up high. Get keen people this is great! Could be hard for the money.
