Begehungen in Oceania als Onsight als Sport von Doug

Plenty of options. Roof is not worth the effort.

One move.

Packs a punch from the ground to the chains. So much funkiness.

nice little holds.

Engaging from the ground

Mid 90s. So good and just as sustained and even more improbable than I remembered.

Sport route with optional cams. Some delicate arete moves. Start is more pleasant than it looks. Probably still soggy at 18. Nose-butting sharp edges not recommended, chunky gusher.

Quite sustained and a reasonable crux.

More engaging than it looks. Delicate pebbles.

Tasty.

Classy climbing. So many jugs. Somewhere between 13-17. Sportingly bolted.

Cool layaways. Sportingly bolted.

Surprisingly insecure. On from go to whoa. Felt plain hard keeping left with a committing crux. Risking matching the crack and mantling right may have eased the difficulty.

Inobvious start, delicate mantle, thin slap with proper bad feet and engaging finish.

The most normal route here. Nice pockets. A very long stretch directly over the bolt (maybe go left?) and cruisy finish.

Fun delicate thinking persons' moves.

This is the warmup I was looking for. Nice balancy moves with rest stances. Prob 19, or just warmed up. A touch short for the 2nd star.

Not the warmup I was looking for. Great climbing, and pumpy with tech crux and route finding. Maybe 21 or just not warmed up. Tad short for 2nd star, although a lot of climbing in a little space.

20/21 1 bolt boulder to bolted crack. Fun top that's easy to get wrong.

Boulder start to vertical bushwalk and a move at the top. Good beginner route.

Fun jug hauling. Rampant inflation.

More jug hauling, with half a crimp move. Bit short. Rampant inflation.

A fun, thoughtful ramble. Maybe 19 if you go uber-direct.

A bit stressful. Top half is quite nice and traffic will help.

More pleasant tale than gripping yarn. Awesome friction slabbing at an amenable grade with lots of bolts ... for a slab.

2nd pitch is nice, the rest is forgettable. Pretty soggy at 20, especially for the Gib.

Onsight in '04. Remember it being a bit cruxy and then pumpy up top.

TRS inspection 17 years later confirms.

Best sport single pitch 18 in the mountains?

Gotta search for it. On from go to woe.

No hands slab. Linkup is 3 stars.

Steep. Classic as a linkup. Bit of a sting.

Not totally trivial start to route finding finish. Only just.

Worth doing. Crazy 4wders.

Tad dirty but good movement.

Sail Away crux finger lock to uber-consistent climbing at the grade on beautiful rock.

High kick'n! Feels less ledgy than others, everyone loves steep jugging and a real crux of more than 1 move.

old skool full body through the roof to insecure slab. Good warmup.

slippy slopey pumper traverse to quite the pull. Tad sandy.

Straight up from start to a similar horror mantle seems more logical. Used some mantle 'determination'. I'm sure there's an elegant way, but I didn't find it.

Fabulous limestonesque climbing. 22 if you're 5'0".

Crux sneaks up on ya. End of day pump, barely didn't fall off.

It dreams of being 21? At 19 it'll be very good with more traffic.

Fabulous climbing and position at the grade. The traverse and moves around the arete are hilarious. Best easy route in the Sydney basin. Overgraded by a lot.

Nice steepness to a quick thinking boulder (and not getting sucker to good holds) and a couple of insecure slab moves. One star.

Straight forward start, fun steepness and cute finish.

Interesting and varied.

Fun climbing but still thoughtful.

This is the pick of the area. Nice off balance climbing around the arete.

No wonder it felt hard for 17. Nice moves. Will always be seacliff sandy.

Nice bottom, nice top, and bit of blurgh middle. Right side of crux bolt is more fun totally avoiding all the big holds.

Aptly named.

Nice n soft.

Warmup pick. insecure middle.

Pumpy warmup. Hard start, awesome steep middle and goey finish. Classic!
