Climbing Films from Australia

The Australian selection samples a few distinct pockets of the country’s climbing: sport cragging on the New South Wales coast, and a fast‑paced trip through Victoria’s Grampians and parts of Tasmania that mixes bouldering, sport and trad. Rather than offering exhaustive regional coverage, the films illustrate how different rock types, weather and access shape short trips and single‑route projects in Australia.

The short clip 'Ain't No Sunshine' 28 7c+ , Nowra Australia is a focused record of an on‑sight/redpoint effort on an Ewbank 28 sport route. It’s compact and practical: the footage highlights movement, the influence of conditions on friction and the small‑scale intangibles that matter when attempting a hard line on coastal sandstone. By contrast, The BEST Climbing in Australia | ft. Jorg Verhoeven and Katha Saurwein reads like a travel sampler, shifting between boulder problems, bolted routes and traditional lines in the Grampians and on Tasmanian rock. That edit is useful for seeing how two experienced climbers change tactics from one style to another and for a quick visual primer on how local terrain steers route choice.

If you watch these together you’ll get concentrated examples of route movement, the role of conditions on friction‑dependent rock, and an editorial sense of how to structure a short, multi‑style trip in Australia rather than a detailed regional guide.
