This route is diverse. It begins with a delicate mantle that leads into a more powerful roof. Beyond    the roof is nice rest stance. Use it, and then negotiate the crux with small holds and high step move. The    rest of the route turns into easy slab climbing, with protection becoming more sparse.

This was at one time the leftmost route on Oceanic Wall, but there is now at least one other route further left. In the Rossiter guide it says, "To be bolted", so apparently at the time the guidebook was written this climb had not been bolted or lead.

Start left of

The Deep

below a shallow, A-shaped ceiling. The first bolt is maybe 15 feet up, but getting there is relatively easy with positive holds. Climb through the apex of the roof, move a bit left through a bulge and up to a short crack. The moves up the crack, using holds either left or right of the crack (or both) are hard and lead to a small stance at the crux. The next clip (if you're not really tall) is either difficult off of treacherous footholds, or you have to do the crux a few feet about the previous bolt and then make an easy clip. The crux moves involve some thin feet smears off of laybacks. Undercling up and right and make a long reach to a jug which is the left end of the ledge that angles up and left from

The Deep

. Join

The Deep

for the fun upper wall. The upper face is a bit runout but very secure due to big knobs where you need them.

On the far right of Oceanic Wall, there are currently 3 routes. Pound Town is the second route left of the corner (where

Wrinkles In Time

starts) through a sculpted water streak. Climb up ledges on good holds, then move into face climbing with jugs and edges. Execute the crux around the 4th bolt, then continue on stellar rock to the chains.

The route directly to the right of

Pound Town

.  Start out with bolts leading up to the left side of the ledge with a tree.  Clip two more bolts then step right to utilize twin cracks, place bomber nuts.  Clip one last bolt to the chains.

NOTE: this may be just a temporary name until Dan Hare decides the REAL name....

This route starts from the center of Oceanic Wall and climbs 30 feet of 10a terrain before bypassing a two-bolt anchor and ascending left and up on more difficult rock for another 45 feet. The steep section just after the first anchor is especially thoughtful and fun.

Belie Black looks dirtier than it climbs, but it is an enjoyable warm-up. Start right of a right-facing corner (with a tree on top), climb up over a small roof, and lieback your way to the anchor.

I am documenting a pre-existing route. Anyone with FA or original name info, click "Improve This Page" above.

This route starts from the center of Oceanic Wall, and climbs 30 feet of easy terrain before bypassing a two-bolt anchor and ascending left as for Leviathon for ~15 feet before breaking right again and climbing a right-leaning lieback feature. Shares an anchor with Leviathon.

An easy start leads to the thin and tricky undercling / lieback crux of this route at ~40 feet. The route is distinguished by an obvious black waterstreak, located on the right side of the wall.

This route is on the far right-hand side of Oceanic Wall (up the ramp a little towards Dream Dome). It follows a blackened stripe of rock. Look for a piton about 15 feet up and two bolts just above the roof. The crux is pulling the roof. Work left after the roof to the two-bolt anchor.

Start sitting under the overhang and squeeze out the obvious prow. A different sequence has been climbed without the prow slopers.

Delicate, balancey, technical - this route tests your ability to find and stand up on tiny nibs while palming, pinching, or pulling on only slightly larger knobs and edges. The crux section is between bolts 4-9; enjoy figuring out when to be on which side of the bolt line.

Start in the same spot as

Shiny Toys

, at the bottom of a black streak. Head right after the small roof, then follow the crack for 10' to a no-hands rest. Continue up and right to a stance in a clean scoop. Work through the crux to the easier section above.

It has good feet most of the way.

Climb

Dream Come True

to below the 5th bolt, and veer right.

Start just left of

Shiny Toys

. Place small cams (TCUs/Aliens) and nuts up to a cruxy bolt-protected overhang. Pull the overhang, and join easier rock on

Shiny Toys

to the anchor with chains.

Sick Fish shares the same start as

Creatures From The Black Lagoon

and Twisting By The Pool. Instead of climbing the diagonal crack follow the line of titanium bolts straight up the face. Climb over a small roof to a low angle face. The route meets up with

Mud Shark

after the fifth bolt. Finish on the top bit of

Mud Shark

.

The crux is around the third bolt. A thin, leaning seam with face holds.  Finish to the left. Right-hand finish is Nightmare Come True, also 5.12a.

This route is right of the two new routes (

Pound Town

and the unnamed DH line) on the far right side of Oceanic Wall.  This climbs the thin and dirty crack just right of Dan's new line.  The crack leads to a shelf (poor gear) and continues up above, eventually meeting up with the last bolt and anchors on Dan's new route.  This is not a great route, but I thought I should add it to MP for completeness.

The route begins with a bang- an obvious side pull sets you up for throw to better holds. From this move, climb into a strenous seam that spits you out onto the slab. Balance and smear your way    through the crux and onto to easier climbing.

This route is 13 bolts long, has a slab crux, has really small holds. Don't do it in the sun. It is good climbing.

Pretty fun steep slab climbing.  Begin as for

Dream On

and

Leviathan

in the center of the wall.  Climb the three bolt 5.10a to the 2 bolt anchor.  Mud Shark takes the rightmost of the three bolted lines above the anchor.

Climb the weird seam to a crux traverse sequence below a bulge...funky and slippery.  4 or 5 bolts past the anchor...8 or 9 total.

This route is located on the right side of Oceanic Wall.

Begin in a an A-shaped roof with a bolt just off the ground.  Pull the roof via a technical and powerful 11.d move with  good protection from the bolt (crux). Continue up past another bolt to two fixed pins, equalize these and continue up into a thin left angling seam, 11.a. Clip another bolt, pull another 11d move and meet up with Twistin' by the Pool where you will find some tricky 5.10 moves about 15 feet above an old fixed pin, a wee bit spicy.

Anchor at 85'.

Start on

Black Lagoon

, and traverse straight right past two pins about 25 feet off the deck.  Traverse past the adjacent 11d, and climb the finger cracks to the left of

Shiny Toys

.  After gaining the next horizontal, traverse left to thin crack and one bolt.  Lower off

Black Lagoon

or the 11d to the right.
