Nodi in Melanesia

The Fijian mainland and its surrounding islands are host to a small number of climbing locations (mainly bouldering), the rock here is not great and conditions sweaty, but not to deter those who are willing.

Island has potential with multiple faces on the far western beaches behind the surf camps. Also potential all most headlands for DWS routes, mostly overhanging.

Deep water soloing spot in the northern Yasawa Islands. If you're staying at one of the nearby resorts there should be trips on sale for roughly $50 AUD to tourists. People typically stay around an hour or two before it's time to head back. It's a nice swim regardless but there is a small amount of climbing to be enjoyed over deep water! Care for all the non-climbers swimming below and that you don't fall on top of them.

Swim into main area, look left for some large lobes leading to ledge. From the ledge move left with a right arm crossover bicep-y move with high feet then reach far left to a break in the rock and mount the top. Pleasant jump from the top!

Start directly across from the entry in the chimney. ~4m up right hand on small flat ledge on left side of chimney and then right high foot and swing out on to face.

Possibility of a dyno to a natural 'brick' stuck in the rock but my tour group had to leave before I could try.

Named after a tourist's biological alarm clock...

Climbing is relatively new to New Caledonia. With the island being one big 500km long mountain range and a bunch of keen French climbers now resident here, this will no doubt be a space to watch for Aussies wanting an island climbing holiday in the future.

The main area is the limestone at Koumac on the West Coast in the far north of the island with the beautiful Grottes de Koumac and Roches De Notre Dame. Although Hieghene on the north end of the notrth end of the stunning east coast promises a wonderland with a vast amount of limestone cast towers and faces not unlike parts of Thailand.
