Ascensioni in Shark Alcove

Lots of great holds, nice moves but also some sketchy holds that look brittle and breakable. Still goes without those.

Glad to bring a bunch of people to try out the crag. Massively underrated crag and Shark Chats is one of the classics. Perfect warm up for some harder stuff and Sexable Flex right around the corner!

really fun jug haul

Another good one

Awesome!

put this at thomos an there would be a line up!

Beauty of climb! Not so speedy speed ascent. Tried to climb fast but ended up getting into a nice flow and climbing way faster than usual anyway

Comedic name! High quality climbing, would get more stars if it weren’t for the sand dunes. After 5 days climbing with one day rest, at the end of the day I couldn’t be arsed leading it hahah

Cool features. Sandy rock and some snappy holds.

Nice rock and moves. Probably 20 if you are tall

Superb. Almost as good as vanderholics

Bit sandy but good climbing

Super sandy from the recent rainfall. Pretty soft for the grade.

Really great, pumpy long route. One of the best 19's at Nowra?

Probably not 23, preety good climbing though. The layback at the start is ace.

Great sequences on reasonable crimps.

Thought I'd weigh in on the controversy. First part is definitely not completely blank. Probably a bit harder than 18 tho at the bit just before the good rest ledge. Really fun jug hauling after that. Didn't have any issues with snappy holds at all. All around good climb!

Worse route I’ve climbed in a long time; a complete pile of steaming dog shit choss. Would recommend climbing shark chats 1000 times before bothering with this.

Had to bail off the third bolt as literally every hold was exploding off the rock at me. Crimps, jugs, everything - the whole thing was like Baghdad. Since all that is left below the third bolt now is a blank flat surface it would be fair to say this route now goes at 28-29

Still goes down as the best at it's grade in nowra imo

Rad laybacking/crackclimbing! soft at 23 but I'll take it

A great climb with a few tricky bits, a great warm up. A little bit sandy in places, just need a teaspoon of cement.

23? I think not. If you completely ignore the crack maybe? I vote 20. Fun climb though. Very appropriately named. My rack was crying every time I clipped a bolt.

Great climbing good rock

Blew a hold up the top lots of loose pebble. Stand well back when belaying. The climbing is well an experence

First 22 send proper - first shot. Stuck the vertical stretch with a solid throw. No messy around. Loved the second little crux side pull match cross over crimp thing. Beautiful climb

Slid out at the top of the first off width. Great practice chicken winging. LOVE CRACK CLIMBING. The move following the sandy jugs with the hand crack is rad too. Great route!

Couldn't figure out how to get past the crux move statically. Gonna steal some beta and go back for the send.
