Ascents in Oceania by Ben Vincent having trad-cpr or ascent-date

Ermagerd, high quality. Started P1 at 4pm and finished well into the dark. A memorable route.

An amazing line. Loved the cruxy sequence on P1, and found the top out thought provoking (opted against the Walrus). Started P2 in the dark with headlamps. Traverse was cool and the chimney pretty epic. Skippy added the 3rd.

Nice and airy in parts. Loved P2 and and how funky is P3?!

Juicy. Really cool sequence, jugs everywhere and then a big left leap of faith which once stuck is definitely the highlight.

Run out.

A very inspiring climb. This route has it all, and yes, pro just when you need it. The first pitch is sustained and absolutely golden. The second pitch is enjoyable climbing and allows you a bit of recovery from the first. Richard just cruised up the bloody route a silly amount of years after he did the first ascent.

A solid warm-up, sparse up top but its all there.

Was a little intimidated about getting on this one but so stoked that we did. P1 - lead (clean). Best pitch I've done at Kaputar to date. Nice sporty slab to warm into the route, pro gets a little spaced above. The upper section and traverse are committing, exposed, gripping and memorable! Some damp holds at the end of the T added some extra spice. Added a cordelette to what looks like a historical collection at the first anchor. P2 and P3 - second (clean). A little bit of an anticlimax after P1. Nice lead by Caz up crack and straight through obvious goey line in buldge (which was also wet). With 60m twins Caz decided to link the last two P’s, finishing up an interesting techy little slab split by a finger crack.

A bit of everything on this route including a big bucket for a little sit down. Great climbing and a very memorable route.

Absolute class. This is a great line. Committing start but it’s all there. Some pads would be good

Amazeballs. We had a great party for this one. Met Will, Jose and Winnie that morning and teamed up to tackle the route together and take some glory shots! Short and all over pretty quickly but totally lived up to the hype! A bit of drizzle added to the atmosphere and made the crux a little more interesting.

Intended to do Watchtower Crack and then thought we’d step it up a notch for our last and decided on Skink. A bit of traffic on P1 and a recommendation from a local and we started up Auto Da Fe instead. It totally delivered. I hadn’t needed to place many small wires on our trip. This route changed that. We almost bailed up Golum before even starting P2 but then the local reappeared and decided to watch us on the crux while he ate lunch and so that sealed our fate (plus I have no idea where Golum even went). The crux was a delicate and beautiful thing. I really enjoyed this section. A little committing but pro where you need it.

a little less clean than it's little sibling below, but high quality and very unique! Great to get up the pair on a tight timeframe!

A fantastic route with solid jams where you need them. The roof on the 1st pitch requires a tricky/committing mantle but a couple of cams below is good for morale. There's a runner fixed to a shrub at the first belay and some good pro to back it up. Three quarters up the 2nd is a chossy corner but you can navigate this without too much trouble. Top of the 3rd you can break left or follow the interesting obvious line which ends abruptly in an undercling, offering one last challenge to the climb

Techy crux move.

Great climb, not a grade 20

A very enjoyable route. I certainly found this easier than Cheap Vendetta. Maybe it's a style thing...

This thing is fantastic. Spent most of what I had getting to the top and was worth every bit!

Ha! Thought we were on Plume... Traversed L beneath the roof into Thor and finished the second half of Thor. Thought it was a bit staunch for a 16...

Wow what a great route. Everything flowed and I even got to finally use my #6

Great route! Eats small stuff. Loved the buldge!

Such a sick start. Worming, knee bars, a bit of grovelling. Great climb for the first 10m. Kinda winds down after that. Felt a little easier than the grade suggests.

Thought we'd jump on a sporty looking grade 20 trad route and it didn't dissapoint.

Had a bit of trouble finding the start (would've helped if I'd read the description properly) :-P From the two belayer/anchor carrots follow 3 carrots up the slabby scoop to the R (there is great potential further to the left for better slab). Cool moves through the overlap and L bring you to the base of the next slab which is thin and cruxy and gets the grade I guess. Two more carrots here up the slabby arete. The crack at the top is beautiful and eats up red (#1), yellow (#2) and Blue (#3) BD cams.

A very nice, high quality line! After a long hiatus I was fortunate enough to milk the rest and find some endurance.

Ermagerd. Deliverance Delivers. This the first route at the breakaway is a stunner. With cold fingers and flash pump I had to work hard for this one. Really great route and good sesh on it with Benj and Skippy.

Great climb despite the heat. The second higher chock is more reliable than the first. Take big gear and plenty of it, unless you like recycling.

A very dirty climb indeed. It's more or less broken into three good sections, the cruxy start, the awkward and equally cruxy corner and the final chimney. With a few more ascents it should clean up nicely. The three stemmed Gum tree makes for a good belay, but you need every bit of your 60m rope to utilise it. Watch out for rope snags at the top of this climb.

Sick climb, good jams, interesting chimney moves under the roof section. Save yourself for the top.

Calf/knee hook, slopey mantle, juggy finish - great climbing.

A very nice but very short line.

Excellent sustained climbing.

Great climbing, particularly in bottom section and through overlap. Chossy at the very top

A demanding start and a quality route.

P1 - second (clean). Exciting pitch and a really good lead by caz (esp. given some of the 'good' holds were wet). Not sure about the rusty booty on this pitch but we clipped the two wires anyway and left them as they lie - stuck. P2 - lead (clean). Started on dusk, donned the headlamps and finished in the dark. Some really enjoyable jamming in this long pitch, with some loose stuff at the top (just ask Carol).

A desperate fight indeed. A really nice line despite the Lomandra sabotage... Maybe grade 20?

Great to get on this again. A quality route!

A fun route, with everything where you need it!

Quality

Really enjoyed this route. Good pro, great holds, sweet moves!

Been wanting to try this gem for a long time. Was dissapointed to see the nearby waterfall blowing horizontally onto and drenching the route. But then Volo got on it anyway and said it was great so I was inspired. Incredible route with the experience made all the more richer by the wet, windy conditions. Full focus and extra grunt required. Trad fix aquired.

Just enough time to squeeze in this absolute bottler of a route. I expected it to really ramp up but it was fairly consistent. This sort of stuff puts a smile on your face for days.

A burly finish, but def all there once you sort the beta.

Lowered in with plenty of gear so thought I should use it. Nice features. Surely been done before.

A very nice line. The bottom is a little shrubby, but acts as a good warm-up into the climb. The start of the second is a little goey and I found this to be the crux compared with the third.

Great single pitch with plenty of variety.

Really enjoyable route, with a tall precarious start.

A good wall to warm up - watch out for the paper wasps in the double sided jug near the top of the the route. They were beginning to get cranky.

Good fun route.

Fun moves, dirty. Trad belay & walk off

Great route with historic value!

A real gem of a climb, gets thinner as you go higher - thankfully the top arrives before the crack closes. Worth the blackberry battle to get there!

A nice one to get started on and even cleaner now that Phil 'removed' a loose block. Nice one Phil A large friend/hex will help for the final push.
