Ascents in Tasmania by Ryan Sklenica

Classic, one of be best lines in tassie!!

Perfect!

Amazing that there is a line straight up the middle of this face. Might be v10 in better conditions.

I’ll give into the peer pressure and suggest 33. The first in Tassie when confirmed. Originally, I thought once sticking the crux move I’d take it to the top making it a grade or two easier… however, I stuck the crux about 10 times and continued falling off the top for days after. Thanks Gazza for bolting the future.

Many days, climbing at it’s finest!

Probably V10....

Did this a few times but never logged it... all while trying the link up.

A couple cool hard moves, not very aesthetic but climbs well.

Feels a lot easier now, maybe it is v8 or 9?

Finally!! Lucky I was convinced to have one last go after falling twice. 3rd attempt of the day. Classssic!

Sweet line, very wide compressions 👌

Easily one of the best in Tassie, hard for the grade too!

3rd attempt! Amazing, super powerful climbing!!

Project done!

2nd ascent, a rad boulder in the sky.

Doesn’t get better than this.

Boulder around the roof is pretty cool & unique, but the rest is quite sharp and awkward.

Maybe V7?

Soft for 8

Best of the cave

Best boulder at the coliseum. Solid at the grade

Kinda cool but kinda sharp and awkward.

All the stars

V8/9

Awesome route that can spit you off anywhere!

4th attempt Rad steeeep climbing!

Sooo good!! Some of the best climbing... if not the best 15m of climbing I’ve ever done! And hard for the grade.

Bit unexpected... just happen to run into Alex and we both just happen to send!! Amazing route, but not too hard if you know how to rest. Foot slip on the last move got the adrenaline going but somehow managed to stay on!

Sick climbing, the mantle was soaked and the slab up to the anchors was terrifying… somehow didn’t slip

Awesome! Best route I’ve done on the pipes so far!!

I think this is pretty tough for 28, but i guess it is my anti-style type of route, can’t just power through this one. Sweet, sustained, techy and on tiny feet!

First try today after trying it a couple times ages ago, could be 29

Clean on top rope, slimy conditions didn’t inspire me to try for the lead...

Awesome, 3rd attempt.

Placed all gear on lead, so soo rad!!!

A tough one.. but oh so good!

2nd go, awesomely sustained. Doesn’t get much better.

Awesome climbing, the top boulder is sick! Easier than gambit especially if you use better redpoint tactics (knee pads)

Retro flash after trying it 5 years ago.

Super complex sequences, maybe 29

Previously the ‘So long and thx for all the memories’ project, careful on the top out it can be a bit crumbly

Felt harder to me, maybe because the slopers were in the sun….

2nd go

2nd go today tried it once last year. Some of the best climbing around, along with it’s harder neighbour priapism!
