Ascensioni in Oceania come vari tipologie da Douglas Hockly

fell off this all afternoon!

second shot

A great second ascent by Geordie minutes after the first. Good variety - a slippery seam, an awkward balancy crack, a weird traverse, crank through a roof and a headwall that can feel hard enough to be interesting if you're pumped - which I was. Good fun.

Really contrived in the first bit, but fun thin face climbing.

Vaguely remember climbing is not that hard but gear is not that good

Quite interesting, doesn't seem to have much gear, esp at the start which is the crux

The climbing is very nice, but there is very little gear, and the rock is not great where the gear is. A shame it's not bolted as it would be enjoyed by many.. if it was 27 it'd be bolted, but it's not cause it's 17.

The actual corner I found quite interesting and not too hard as I could bridge to the rib on the right wall, but the start (Condor) is not that great and Wendy traversed off to the chains above Mechanical Prune as there was a death block on the ledge...

The corner is good - and desperate - but very short.

I really enjoyed this. Pretty tenuous in places. May be a safe lead these days with lots of micro cams, though I think you'd be on RPs at the start.

Decent alt start to LLL

Take care and small wires on the start

God this is desperate.

Good but has a substantial loose bit

Insecure feeling, not that fun

This is better than it looks! The top offwith is great, I used stacked handjams which worked well.

Better than it looks, but has some loose blocks to be careful of up high. Also more like 17 off the ground than 15

I really like this one. Surprisingly takes a blue cam 3 camalot at the top.

Take some small wires

I remember having a wobbler above the bolt on this!

The start detracts, and the rest is quite hard, feels as hard as other 22s

Hard and the gear strenuous to place. Good climbing but some loose bits.

Love this one.

Rapped down and looked at the gear first. IIRC there's nothing to the crux and not much after it but I got about 4 bits on the crux that I thought would hold a slump.

Found this hard, maybe 24?

It's been a long time but I remember being a bit put off by the rock quality, and hence the gear that's in it.

My fave at Frog

Hollow corner at the top is a bit offputting

My first 23 flash

This is surprisingly good. No real offwidthing required.

I only just got up this! I did it by chimneying which was exhausting, maybe there is a better way. (Wendy did it much better) There really is no gear till half height, and some poor rock, and it's filthy... get on it.

I thought this was really nice, and I think the gear would be better these days with micro cams. Could be 22.

A bit graunchy but good.

The crux placements have shattered which is not that confidence inspiring. You can get questionable cams now. Delicate climbing on your feet.

More like a toprope. I went up Bad Company to the first good bit of gear, which is 2/3 of the way up the route. I would not trust the gear in the initial corner at all. Much scarier than Out On A Limb or The Go-Between. Climbing is ok, top crack is nice. I think 22.

Good but the hard bit is short if you start up Odin like we did.

A good line but the climbing is easier to the left and then the right so it ended up feeling a bit contrived to me.
