Ascents in Oceania by Vanessa Wills

Got to the horn and lip but wasnt going to break an ankle trying the topout with no spotters 2 days before leaving the country

I think this was some type of hybrid diagonally across honeycomb pockets. Got clean to lip at about v3. Fun enough but Lots of crap rock in this area.

Got to the crimp on slab but nervous without a spotter. Nice to there

Maybe this suits short people

Can’t reach anything after crimp rail . Finger shredding.

Not sure that the blob resembles a brain, probably a bit soft for v5, but the starting dead point to crimp suits me

Not sure if I did this 'correctly' because it wasnt too hard.

it isnt v4 though

May be easier if short. Or Ive just got used to it.

Bouldering is contrived nonsense

Great friction on way to airport

Had trouble with topos and thought I was on extractor. A major lactic burn anyway

A little scary suddenly.

This one definitely suited me

Finger jams. Did on TR

Not sure what makes this v4. More like v2, and mythos are fine for tiny granite edges

Such a nice sequence, the sit start would be fantastic if I could climb that well

A bit of an eliminate but fun

Nice to have some solid crimps but the sit start felt very contrived

If I just held onto minging seams and ignored the mono does that count?

The sit start definitely adds a grade

Not sure if I “ eliminated” enough holds for grade.

Dave andI did this quite differently, mine involved a super high step and thin side pull

might be OK when clean, too frightened to fall off.

Someone had left a wet shedding mattress there which made the landing slightly less bad

All these done over last 4 yrs many times.

grabbed Daves leg on the mantle

Started to feel a bit high

Hard to find feet on this one

Tr this. Hard start.

Don't think I did this clean before. Like the start to trojan

Tried to google this to find out how to finish and all I got was a lot of links to erotica..... So just went all the way past the crack to top out

Didn't fancy the other routes on pockets, this felt suitably thrutchy

I think this is the scoop to mantle. Mental note to self to clean the top in future to prevent pathetic grovelling

Seems to have had some traffic but not listed in ACA photo guide

Painful jams, pretty tight fingers in spots. Good crack practice

Follow the iron stone

Nice trad moves

You know you are relatively short if reaching the start holds for the " short" persons problem are an issue

Unfortunately steep stuff like this shows what recent abdo surgery does to the core

At least I can still crimp

This seemed a bit soft. Maybe it suits short people
