Ascents as deep water solo by Dylan Tubaro

Such a fun line! Definitely felt abit chossy up higher were you don't wanna fall ahah

3rd go, so epicccc ! A must do

Very fun climb!

I downgraded this from 26 a few years ago. Maybe 25 just one hard move. First shot repeat

Big and scary ahaha fucking amazing climbing, would be three stars but the rock is abit average in places. Had to really calm myself down before heading into the crux. Exciting. Second accent!

It's no Blackmans bay but it's okay

nice hot day activity

nice pumpy climbing

barefoot endurance lap

nice powerful moves

Slow start, jogging at first and then walking down the beautiful forest to deep glen bay, filled up our water bottles at the river and started traversing above the VERY deep water on superb granite, minimal swimming required at the start then the zawns/caves become larger requiring a fair few large swims, even a 12m high plunge into the water. Then at around half way the granite ends and the cliff has a lot less vertical sections & so progress is faster. Some very serious swims are required to pass large dark caverns, one in particular requires you to swim some distance from the cliff to avoid being sucked inside. There are some sections of climbing but it’s mostly rock hopping ,scaling the kelp becomes harder & harder. Arriving at eaglehawk neck was a very rewarding moment and so were the hot chips moments later.

Compared to the section from chasm creek to deep glen it’s not as good, it’s physically easier but feels more serious and committing. A truly amazing tassie adventure

One of the best routes at blackmans bay, some punchy moves very exciting !

Nice technical climbing.

Surprisingly easy

Highly caffeinated and parked at the sign for cape surville walk. We head down a road then into the scrub loosely following chasm creek eventually descended into the creek (10 m static rope helped here but we maybe have gone a harder way ) then slid down a large log where we were greeted by Walter the seal who was pissed to be woken up. Then the climbing began! Rock quality is average to start then turns to dolerite some short swims required, passing some beautiful features, caves, a remarkably large arch & a waterfall (recommend drinking here ) some amazing unbroken sections of climbing superb rock,the swims get longer the further you get but nothing longer than 30m. The rock is really varied at some point it turns to granite then even some short sections of limestone at the end ! It was a relief to arrive at deep glen bay, we were quite exhausted by that point.(I personally was abit dehydrated) it should be noted that this traverse is very serious and committing, definitely recommend bringing a PLB, wet suits were very nice to have & so was 10m of static rope, especially when your mate does some silly shit and gets sucked into a kelp filled chimney of doom. Grade wise it was on average 14-17 but some sections were about 20 mostly deepwater, but it’s definitely a choose your own adventure if it gets too hard or sketchy you just go swimming. I wouldn’t do this In anything but perfect conditions. All up it’s my favourite adventure I’ve done in tassie !!! We started at 8.00am & got to deep glen around 6.00pm *it was very nice having some supply’s dropped at deep glen bay.

Warm up

Very technical!

Redlining pretty hard on this ,definitely the hardest I’ve tried on a climb to date,wet shoes and holes in the toes definitely added to the difficultly. Got it third go ! Finished up gromy’s crack pipe

Probably not a 20, very nice climbing !

Not a 20

Don’t fall ahah

Down climbed

Really nice !

I’ll be back for this one ! Pretty scary, feels more like 24 but I’ll see how it feels on the send

Yewww ! First 25 onsight (if it doesn’t get down graded )

Good abit sketchy need a spotter

Warm up

fucking classic! Highly recommend. Short low crux If anyone takes a snorkel out there you might be able to find Henry’s harness & grigri

Not sure where this route actually is I toprope soled a line but it felt a lot harder than 22. Would love some more information!
