Routes as deep water solo in Oceania

Traverse along the bottom just above the waterline. There are several pockets under the overhang at the start. Traverse along to the undercling before taking the crack up to the top out. Water is about 1.5m deep

Enjoyable water level traverse that can be followed most of the way around the point keeping hands below the top the whole way around. Best to finish once you make it to the rusty relic on a shelf about 1m above the water. Note that the water gets progressively shallower the further east you go!

Takes the steepest part of the wall via undercling pocket for the right hand and sloper dish on the left side of the arete.

From part way along Clay foundation, up via the side pull.

Approach from either direction. Up via the large side pull pinch.

Start on head height crimps in chest deep water under the slightest roof sticking out. Go up using the arete and good side pull on left. Go straight up using slots under the lip. Avoid using triangle ledge at the top of the arete for both hands and feet including for top out.

Steep arete starting from chest deep water. Pockets either side of the arete leads to a crimp via a long stretch to just below the flat top and easy top out.

The main face of the wall on the rock platform north of the main jumping rock.

Start just left of Line Of Crack, moving up obvious break directly under main jumping spot. Move up nose on pockets and top out on the main jumping take off.

Use right side pull to start. Follow the obvious crack up and left towards main jump edge. Rest spot inside the crack. After several sketchy mantle moves use high feet and two jug-like crimps on left side of main edge for sketchy topout (see topo).

Start as for Line Of Crack, but go straight up the central buttress to topout.

The pocket riddled face on the south of the main jumping area. Start in the water then climb up just right of the obvious crack.

The corner to the left of the rope, just south of the main jumping rock. Start in the middle by finding your way with pockets, then moving up to a scary mantle over the bulge to top out. Good luck finding your feet!

Traverse along the wall low over the shallow water. Don't know how hard it is yet. Fall off... you're wet! Not very deep!!

Starting from platform to right of falls. From large flat edge, climb the arete using good crimps to an easy top out.

Traverse the length of the wall starting from platform to right of falls. Some fun moves with an early crux. Be careful not to fall near the end as the water gradually becomes more shallow.

Start on the central pocket/pinch, then make a low traverse L across wall, then up. Probably the safest climb.

Start on the central pocket/pinch, then up and L to good topout.

Start on the central pocket/pinch; straight up to slick cracks (be careful at this point; but jugs over the top).

Start out R (above ledge platform); awesome rising pockets (easy) until you're above the water, where slightly trickier moves go over the top.

Low tide only.

A glorious scramble along untamed coast leading to a single easy boulder problem (VB? V0?). From the east edge of Number One Beach scramble 500m towards Boat Beach via jagged basalt slab formations.

When you find yourself above a narrow channel that heaves with the tide, you'll be funneled into the boulder problem. Grip the overhang and pass over the channel to the rock platform beyond. You'll be at Boat Beach in seconds.

Arete on the southern ocean side of the inlet.

Traverse from arete along diagonal break.

Traverse 20m along lower wall then up through bulge.

Back southern side or inlet.

S3. This is a serious undertaking. This is a no fall climb due to a submerged boulder right in the landing zone. Start from the ledge to the right, starting on the arete, trend up and left to head up the middle of the face.

The arete on its right side.

The awesome hand sized crack between the main land and the island. A little sharp.

No so easy when wet!

Start from the chimney ledge. Nice easy hugging up the pillar.

Moving right off the ledge.

Up the narrow face right off the ledge. Grade includes the traverse in from the right chimney.

The fun arete with the pockets above the steep section.

Up the crack or the slab.

Head left off the Emergency Exit ledge and up the centre of the face. Holds abound.

The corner to gain the top of the island.

Climb on high tide, boulder underwater quite shallow

Traverse from bottom right to top left past 'DWS 1'

Climb the left side arete

Start 1M right from 'DWS 1', up the crack and trend right from halfway up

Climb in the middle of the wall, following the crack using the jugs. Be careful of the rocks behind you

Climb the arete on the right side. Be careful of the rocks behind you

Furthest climb to the left before reaching the easy way out

Climb the crack 3m left from 'Gulp'

Same climb as 'Surrendering Seagull' but veer right at the top

Climb the cracks just 1m left from 'Harbourage'

Walk down to the end of the safety ramp and climb the easy corner on the left

Just to climbers right of the waterfall. Traverse left for 2 metres from edge of pool before going up

Climbers right of waterfall, right of Boof. From pool at base step onto wall and traverse left 1m and up v groove

The long traverse along the true right of the second pool with a welcome ledge at half way

Dry start. Follow the obvious diagonal crack system on eastern side of the Dragons Belly. Really just a dry extension to JCADTIS. More slab than deep water beneath.

Same start as WR. Traverse lowest line R to Waterfall and through to the start of HCFDT. Can only be done dry during low flow.

Swim Start. Up onto the slab, head up to the obvious crack line that trends L to the top of the waterfall

Swim Start. Head up rocky breaks RHS of Waterfall.

Swim Start from the R of the bottom of the waterfall. Easy RH traverse around into the Slimy Eel & The Cesspool of Doom Cave. Traverse through a series of laybacks just above the water height. Finish on obvious no-hands-rest block. Scope for extension.

Climb the white streaked slightly over hanging wall

Climb starts 3 m right of White Lightening up obvious jugs to tricky blank section then up to crack.

Start 2m right of stomach acid on large side pull

The first DWS route set in the Dragons Belly. Traverse left along wall. Finish on top of large square block.

Swim Start. From directly beneath the dyno, head up the ramp trending R until you get to the block at the end of T.T.

From the block at the end of T.T. down-climb ramp to the two obvious juggy pockets on the arete. Set yourself and then hit the massive dyno. You can see the nice flat ledge that you're aiming for from the block.

Starts from the block end of Thor's Traverse. Traverse down & L along sloping rail and mantle the Dyno Project finish. Traverse L along the large rocky bridge section until it ends. Some committing moves at this level above the large sloping slab bring you to a further rest and the traverse ends at the small shrub. Plenty of scope for extension!

Swim Start direct or continue dry from block at end of TT. Start directly below DS before traversing L and low around to the slab.

Swim Start or dry start from the slab at the end of U. Trend up and R following thin roof seam and solid L features. Mantle to finish at MET.

Swim Start, up and out of the water at the base of the white streak, directly below the little rooflet. Up white streak to rooflet and traverse L and trend up and L to finish at Middle Earth Traverse

Continuing on from the hands free stance at the end of M.E.T (at the small bottlebrush shrub). Keep traversing L at the same height as M.E.T until you reach the blocky blank rooflet section with the precariously placed flake of death (you'll know it when you come to it). Move delicately L and through. Current extension finishes 3m beyond this rooflet in an obvious large pocket (a few meters below and about half-way through the fig thicket above).

Start at the beach and traverse the high line back to the chute.

An absolute doozy. Traverse in from the chute until you reach the swallows nest then head up until you hit the ceiling. Save a dry pair of shoes for this one.

The ending we'd all been hanging out for! Extends 'SS' out left all the way to the richly decorated jugs. Now all that remains is the rest of the epic linkup...

The holy grail complete link up of 'SS', past the wasp nest and through 'TIAB' in reverse. And seeings you've come this far why stop now? Complete the trifector by tacking-on TST.

From the end of T.S.T. traverse up R.

Start at the downstream end of the Toy Story Wall and traverse R through until the obvious no-hands-rest block at the start of TIAB.

Traverse in from either side, then up to the pinnacle for a dry top out.

Start at the corner and traverse along the slopers, staying low at the second section.

Balancy slab problem. Spend an age eyeing up potential holds from beside the climb before being peer pressured into actually getting on it. Tiny crimpers get you established and some little gem crimper slots get you the escape. Mint.

Great pumpy corner to slide up from below, stuff of dreams
