V11 | ★ Ataraxia
Slightly contrived and very difficult. Was worked for two years consistently before eventually being climbed. Start at base of cave on big square block, up to undercling then slap left through terribly slippery holds to top out FA: Ryan Gaskon, 12 Jul 2020 | 3m | Alice Springs | ||
20 R | Nerve Damage
Fairly worthless edition, first climbed onsight and ropeless as a warm up. Start 2 metres left of Unsuspecting below a faint, blank looking scoop. Up through intermittent crimps to easier ground just past half height. Trad anchor possible for top roping or bring crash pads as there’s no gear in the climb itself. FA: Ryan Gaskon, 11 Jul 2020 | 8m | Alice Springs | ||
V2 | ★ Calamari
Very bunched sit start matched in good hole, up through good pockets then trend left up vague seam FA: Ryan Gaskon, 5 Jul 2020 | 2m | Western MacDonnells | ||
V0+ | ★ Touch the Kneebar, Taste the Kneebar
Novelty corner problem. Must sit start in kneebar undercut, then up corner to top FA: Ryan Gaskon, 5 Jul 2020 | 2m | Western MacDonnells | ||
V1 | ★★ King of the Cling
located on the back side of the boulder, just to the left of the descent. Stand up into undercling, bump feet up into bad smears and reach high for jugs FA: Ryan Gaskon, 5 Jul 2020 | 3m | Western MacDonnells | ||
V2 | ★★ Spring Tide
on the wall adjacent to the back side on the warm up boulder. sit start on vertical rail with poor feet, pull up to ledge before big move L to jug top out FA: Ryan Gaskon, 5 Jul 2020 | 2m | Western MacDonnells | ||
2019 | |||||
V4 | ★ The Mosaic
very worthwhile line right up the proud face of the boulder. stand start on small edges and move strenuously up through large, faint depression at half height. Committing move right near top to gain jugs and top out FA: Ryan Gaskon, 8 Aug 2019 | 3m | Western MacDonnells | ||
V10 | ★★★ Eromanga
Named after the ancient Inland Sea, this intimidating highball was a project for nearly a decade until Ryan fought his way up it. The thin seam at the far right of the western wall, right next to the main entrance. Stand start on tiny crimps, strenuous moves up and R gain arete and undercling, before technical, committing moves lead to a high and scary top out. FA: Ryan Gaskon, 2 Jun 2019 | 4m | Western MacDonnells | ||
V4 | Eat Your Pants
high and committing, with a terrible landing. Sit Start at the jumbled blocks, up vague arete to top. Beware of suspect rock FA: Ryan Gaskon, 2019 | 4m | Western MacDonnells | ||

one massive move. Same start as L then jump sideways jug ledge FA: Ryan Gaskon, 2019 | 2m | Alice Springs | ||

Good moves on big holds with bad feet. The next boulder up the hill (about 100 metres up the climbers track). Start on big incut jug and move up and left through horizontal weaknesses to easy top out FA: Ryan Gaskon, 2019 | 3m | Alice Springs | ||
V6 | Saturation point
Borne of a desperate need of a warm-up for the Catharsis project. Contrived, brutal crimping up the prominent prow. Getting off the ground is the crux. Pull on small RH crimp and bad LH sloper (Juggier holds on either side not allowed) then through more crimps to top FA: Ryan Gaskon, 2019 | 2m | Alice Springs | ||
2018 | |||||
28 | ★ Bad Sun Rising
A completely improbable and desperately thin line up the edge of the black streak 2m left of H, envisioned by Ryan after the release of the Dawn Wall film and put away by Leigh. Up unrelenting, microscopic edges to a diabolical crux at half height, finishing at ring bolt anchor of H. (Note: Unless you have a death wish and solo it, this climb can only be toproped as there is no gear and bolting is prohibite) FA: Leigh Aardenberg & Ryan Gaskon, Nov 2018 | 20m | Western MacDonnells | ||
V9 | ★ Requiem For A Dream
The line of chalked holds 50m L of the main cliff. Sit Start on the lowest edges, then make a big move up R to gaston and gain a jug before a tricky, slippery top-out. Bring pads and spotters as the landing is quite poor FA: Ryan Gaskon, 22 Apr 2018 | 4m | Alice Springs | ||

2016 | |||||

2015 | |||||
V6 | ★ Scream Like A Demon
