Sooo sweet
	25	★★★ Ashes to Ashes	Sport 18m, 7	Blue Mountains		Dave Hoyle	Wed 30th Apr 2014
Pumped stupid at the top
	25	★★★ Ashes to Ashes - with Nicole Colback	Sport 18m, 7	Blue Mountains	★★★ Classic	Zedekiah colback	Tue 23rd May 2023
Great route, my pulley is still out of action, but climbing onsite is super helpful 🤙🏽
	25	★★★ Ashes to Ashes	Sport 18m, 7	Blue Mountains	★★★ Classic	Aaron Jones	Wed 23rd Aug 2023
Excellent jumping with loads of good rests. Very fun route. Go'ey at the top.
	24	★★ Mr McGuirkesqirter	Sport 15m	Blue Mountains		Lauren van der Mast	Sun 21st May 2006
Cool! Maybe kinda soft?
	24	★★ Mr McGuirkesqirter	Sport 15m	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Paul Frothy Thomson	Sun 3rd Aug 2014
Better than I expected. I didn't find the "one move wonder" everyone keeps talking about all that hard, I found the moves out left to turn the little rooflet much harder. A few tricky moves broken up by good stances. Nicely spaced bolts.
	24	★★ Mr McGuirkesqirter	Sport 15m	Blue Mountains	★ Good	oliver kerr	Sat 20th Sep 2014
Bit squishy but nice climbing.
	24	★★ Mr McGuirkesqirter	Sport 15m	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Peter	Mon 28th Dec 2015
Pretty interesting climbing with a sequence little crux
	24	★★ Mr McGuirkesqirter	Sport 15m	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Doug	Sun 10th Mar 2019
Onsighted again 15 years is sufficient gap to claim Alzheimers. Better than I remembered with lots of nice moves, good rock and a shortish crux. Bit soggy but I'll take it. Bit tricky to read but flows nicely. Left hand to the jug slot and crossing seemed to work better than tall person right hand throws.
	8	★ Venturi - with Kenton Horsley	Trad 40m	Blue Mountains	★ Good	Kenton Horsley	Wed 27th Dec 2017
More fun than I thought it would be, nice bit of squeezing..
	4	★ Peeceezy	Trad 40m	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Guy Koller	Sun 28th Mar 2004
Thers's nothing like a well slung poon
	4	★ Peeceezy	Trad 40m	Blue Mountains		Rebecca Thurlow	Wed 1st Jun 2005
Took a couple of 8-10 year olds on this. They needed a lift over the tricky ledge about 10 metres up. Rest is like the name says.
	4	★ Peeceezy	Trad 40m	Blue Mountains	Average	Simon Inglis	Wed 31st Dec 2003
First mantle ain't a 4! An easy ramble after that.
	4	★ Peeceezy	Trad 40m	Blue Mountains	Average	Daniel da Silva	Sun 28th Mar 2004
sling that nubbin
	4	★ Peeceezy	Trad 40m	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Ryan Whelan	Sat 24th Aug 2013
i climbed the crack. One move was alot harder than 4.
	4	★ Peeceezy	Trad 40m	Blue Mountains	Don't Bother	Tim Mayer	Sun 28th Apr 2019
Not good for young kids as they are to short to get off the ledge. Its really only valuable for accessing Cinders, or to avoid walking out
	4 ~6	★ Peeceezy	Trad 40m	Blue Mountains	Average	Geoff Cooper	Sat 3rd Dec 2022
One punchy move to mantle, then easy pro following the crack. Lowered from the single bolt to avoid having to walk back down
	25	★★★ Ashes to Ashes	Sport 18m, 7	Blue Mountains		russ	Thu 29th Jan 2009
got crossed up and fell of first move, but then went thru to top, excirting, esp last moves...!
	25	★★★ Ashes to Ashes	Sport 18m, 7	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	oliver kerr	Sat 20th Sep 2014
I still got it!!! What a move in the middle - just commit (with the right feet)
	25	★★★ Ashes to Ashes - with Olivia Campton-Smith, DS, Jake Griffiths, Skye Blackwood	Sport 18m, 7	Blue Mountains	★★★ Classic	DS	Sat 6th May 2017
Phewwww. Intense pump towards the top. Lucky I manage to stick that dyno in the middle. Stoked that I got the flash.
	24	★★ Mr McGuirkesqirter	Sport 15m	Blue Mountains	★ Good	Ben Jenga	Sun 9th Oct 2011

three stars,all moves pure joy
	25	★★★ Ashes to Ashes	Sport 18m, 7	Blue Mountains	★★★ Classic	Ben Jenga	Sun 9th Oct 2011
Felt nails putting the draws on but easy once you sort out the moves, went second shot.
	25	★★★ Ashes to Ashes	Sport 18m, 7	Blue Mountains	★★★ Classic	Jay trent	Sun 9th Oct 2011
long moves with a good rest in the middle
	25	★★★ Ashes to Ashes	Sport 18m, 7	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Vanessa Wills	Sun 27th Dec 2015
Who would've thought a December afternoon was el primo conditions for this route. Very nice, second shot and 3 kneebars
	25	★★★ Ashes to Ashes	Sport 18m, 7	Blue Mountains	★★★ Mega Classic	Peter	Mon 28th Dec 2015
Pretty happy with this. Was the first blues 25 i got on. Rad absorbing moves throughout with a sting in the tail
	25	★★★ Ashes to Ashes	Sport 18m, 7	Blue Mountains	★★★ Mega Classic	Matthew Glendenning	Mon 18th Jan 2016
Happy to open this years account with a send of this classic 'Bowie' route. Technical climbing to a powerful finish. Another great mountains 25
	25	★★★ Ashes to Ashes	Sport 18m, 7	Blue Mountains	★★★ Classic	Paul Gascoigne	Tue 2nd Feb 2016
Bottled out of last move and got clean on second go. Very dynamic and nice has a nice rest area with a view.
	25	★★★ Ashes to Ashes - with Matt Minus	Sport 18m, 7	Blue Mountains	★★★ Classic	Ro-boat	Tue 26th Jan 2016
Sent hanging the draws - 3 attempts over all. I enjoyed it. The stand-up dyno move is all time.
	25	★★★ Ashes to Ashes	Sport 18m, 7	Blue Mountains	★★★ Classic	Liam Davey	Fri 10th Jun 2016
Great technical face climb with a dyno in the middle to make or break your day. Had a couple of false starts but then restarted from the ground and got the remainder of the climb clean first try. Only just managed to stick the dyno though, and had to fight hard to hold the last crimps.
	25	★★ Dust to Dust - with Sophia Jackson	Sport 15m	Blue Mountains	★★★ Classic	Alec Landstra	Fri 15th Apr 2022
Inspected and cleaned lowering off. Cool climbing!
	25 Easy	★★★ Ashes to Ashes - with Nathan Kenny, Ben	Sport 18m, 7	Blue Mountains	★★★ Classic	Blueoffset4lyf	Sun 2nd Jul 2023
Went the left wat cbf losing skin practicing the long throw
	25	★★★ Ashes to Ashes — 2 attempts - with Jared Tyerman	Sport 18m, 7	Blue Mountains	★★★ Classic	Luke Yerbury	Sun 21st Jan 2024
Latched the dyno hold on the onsight with fingertips and held it for a long time without being able to do anything but eventually peel off, whoops! Fun powerful climbing with nice sequences the whole way.
	25 Hard	★★★ Ashes to Ashes - with Joey aquilina	Sport 18m, 7	Blue Mountains	★★★ Classic	Chris	Sun 14th Apr 2024
Funky moves down low to the awkward deadpoint and decent moves up top
	25 Hard	★★ Dust to Dust - with Joey aquilina	Sport 15m	Blue Mountains	★★★ Classic	Chris	Sun 14th Apr 2024
better more tech top than ashes imo slightly harder
	24	★★ Mr McGuirkesqirter	Sport 15m	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Anthony Geoghegan	Sun 7th Dec 2008

	24	★★ Mr McGuirkesqirter	Sport 15m	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Drew Henman	Wed 24th Sep 2003

2nd shot. nice route
	24	★★ Mr McGuirkesqirter	Sport 15m	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Jenny Lin	Sun 17th Dec 2006
My first 24 tick - got it second go! The variety of moves makes this climb. Has a big move in the middle (for shorties).
	24	★★ Mr McGuirkesqirter	Sport 15m	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Dave T	Tue 16th Dec 2003
Fell of the crux rock over heaps of times. Pretty fun.
	24	★★ Mr McGuirkesqirter - with Mike Moore	Sport 15m	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Craig Hitchcock	Sat 7th Mar 2015
Really pleased with this send, got good rests and really had good focus through the crux.......feet worked wonders
	24	★★ Mr McGuirkesqirter	Sport 15m	Blue Mountains	★★★ Classic	Tim Mayer	Sun 28th Apr 2019
Really enjoyable climb, though the Ashes to Ashes wall is not the strongest rock around
	24	★★ Mr McGuirkesqirter - with Samuel Gough	Sport 15m	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Trent Cowell	Thu 9th May 2024
2nd shot
	8	★ Venturi	Trad 40m	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Sandra Parker	Sat 17th Apr 2004

solo, undergraded first moves
	6 4	★ Peeceezy	Trad 40m	Blue Mountains		John Wilson	Sat 19th Apr 2014
Coz's first Blue's climb and first multi-pitch ... and it's now considered grade 6
	25	★★★ Ashes to Ashes	Sport 18m, 7	Blue Mountains		Rohan Charles Tayler	Tue 13th Apr 2010
truly classy, great moves
	25	★★★ Ashes to Ashes - with Ben Perdriau	Sport 18m, 7	Blue Mountains	★★★ Mega Classic	Ben Perdriau	Sat 5th Mar 2016
Shot number 1000. End of a long battle. Awesome route.
	24	★★ Mr McGuirkesqirter	Sport 15m	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	David O'Donnell	Wed 16th Jun 2004
excellent, deserves another star
	24	★★ Mr McGuirkesqirter	Sport 15m	Blue Mountains	Average	Ian Geatches	Sun 17th Apr 2005
3rd bolt cuts through draw
	25	★★ Dust to Dust	Sport 15m	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Mark Ashmore	Sat 21st Jan 2006
Surprisingly good. Realy cool tricky finish. (2nd shot)
	25	★★★ Ashes to Ashes	Sport 18m, 7	Blue Mountains	★★★ Mega Classic	Sebastian Sakowicz	Sat 4th Mar 2006
1st shot today, thanks for the draws Ashy. 21/1/06 3 shots. Fell of the last hard move 2 times. Hard start to a rest then comes the dyno and then one last hard move at the end. It might feel better in cooler conditions.
	25	★★★ Ashes to Ashes - with Sammi	Sport 18m, 7	Blue Mountains	★★★ Classic	Lee Cujes	Sun 13th Dec 2015
Hard to onsight! Great route and impressive for the early 80s.
	25	★★★ Ashes to Ashes - with Andrew Stevenson	Sport 18m, 7	Blue Mountains	★★★ Classic	Roger Austin	Sat 30th Jan 2016
Felt much easier fresh. And cooler. And the draws in. And the crux moves wired. 4th go overall via the original McDougal which is still a fair 25.
	25	★★★ Ashes to Ashes - with Gee Rad	Sport 18m, 7	Blue Mountains	★★★ Mega Classic	Alastair McDowell	Thu 12th Jul 2018
The key beta for the undercling throw is to go A Muerte. Stoked to clean up this old project last tried 2 years ago when I couldn’t even touch that jug!
	24 25	★★★ Ashes to Ashes - with Match	Sport 18m, 7	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Paul Frothy Thomson	Sat 13th Nov 2021
2nd shot via the original left hand sequence at the crux. In its more popular iteration, it is essentially gr22 climbing either side of a nails boulder. Great rock, but very broken-up and inconsistent.
	24	★★ Mr McGuirkesqirter	Sport 15m	Blue Mountains	★ Good	Vanessa Wills	Sat 27th Oct 2007
first up today. Much easier without a tall person suggesting beta
	24	★★ Mr McGuirkesqirter	Sport 15m	Blue Mountains	★ Good	Mark Ashmore	Sat 21st Jan 2006
Not bad and not to hard if you do the right sequence. (2nd shot)
	24	★★ Mr McGuirkesqirter	Sport 15m	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	JJ	Mon 14th Jun 2004
Missed by 1 crimp. Doh! 2nd go.
	24	★★ Mr McGuirkesqirter	Sport 15m	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Keith Hannan	Sat 27th Oct 2007
Good varied climbing but hard on the rope and draws (2nd shot)
	24	★★ Mr McGuirkesqirter	Sport 15m	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	James Collins	Tue 1st Feb 2022
1st shot today (2nd overall)
	4 ~7	★ Peeceezy	Trad 40m	Blue Mountains	Don't Bother	Andrew	Sat 3rd Dec 2022
the first mantle is definitely not 4 The rest maybe.
	25	★★★ Ashes to Ashes	Sport 18m, 7	Blue Mountains	★★★ Classic	Cameron Brown	Wed 31st Aug 2022
First 25. In the dark with head torch! Superb. Third burn sent it.
	8	★ Venturi	Trad 40m	Blue Mountains	★ Good	Nick Kaczorowski	Wed 29th Dec 2004
a litle greasy

	8	★ Venturi	Trad 40m	Blue Mountains	★ Good	Vanessa Wills	Sun 26th Mar 2006
seems well travelled
	8	★ Venturi	Trad 40m	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Josh Caple	Thu 2nd Dec 2004
with a pack! i was a bit disappointed though because i couldnt go through the chimney thing with a pack on so i had to skirt it for a few metres onto the (harder) slab
	4	★ Peeceezy	Trad 40m	Blue Mountains	Average	Vanessa Wills	Sun 26th Mar 2006
walk down was harder
	4	★ Peeceezy	Trad 40m	Blue Mountains	★★★ Classic	David O'Donnell	Tue 25th Oct 2005
I'm building up my 4 bar!! look out Chris Sharma!
	4	★ Peeceezy	Trad 40m	Blue Mountains	Average	Zorba Parer	Sun 3rd Dec 2006
Nice little solo, good route to get the head back into the solo game.
	4	★ Peeceezy - with Dane Evans	Trad 40m	Blue Mountains		Peri Bolton	Sun 1st Apr 2018
Downclimb
	8	★ Venturi - with Peri Bolton	Trad 40m	Blue Mountains		Dane Evans	Sun 1st Apr 2018
Quite nice
	4	★ Peeceezy - with Peri Bolton	Trad 40m	Blue Mountains		Dane Evans	Sun 1st Apr 2018
Feels harder when you downclimb it
	8	★ Venturi	Trad 40m	Blue Mountains	★ Good	Kel	Fri 1st Aug 2003
just a fun climb, watch out for flora and fauna (aka ants)
	8	★ Venturi	Trad 40m	Blue Mountains		Supertramp	Mon 7th Jan 2013
Fun climb.
	7	★ Peeceezy - with Phuong Ho	Trad 40m	Blue Mountains	Average	Brendon Flanagan	Sat 5th Nov 2022
All the climbing is at the start. The trees at the top aren't looking very healthy.
	25	★★★ Ashes to Ashes	Sport 18m, 7	Blue Mountains	★★★ Classic	Nick Kaczorowski	Wed 29th Dec 2004
all but the dyno
	25	★★★ Ashes to Ashes	Sport 18m, 7	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Chris Kinny	Sat 1st Jun 2002
2 hard dynos & not much for feet.
	25	★★★ Ashes to Ashes	Sport 18m, 7	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Tom Kinny	Fri 26th Jan 2007
A Must Do for anyone new to 25.
	25	★★★ Ashes to Ashes	Sport 18m, 7	Blue Mountains	★★★ Classic	Tim Haasnoot	Sun 11th Apr 2004
did the moves, feel near top on 1st try, to stuffed
	25	★★★ Ashes to Ashes	Sport 18m, 7	Blue Mountains	★★★ Classic	Hugh Russell	Wed 1st Nov 2006
With Mike. Dogged to hell, but an awesome route.
	25	★★★ Ashes to Ashes	Sport 18m, 7	Blue Mountains	★★★ Mega Classic	Peter	Mon 17th Jun 2013
Super line! Best line I have climbed in the mountains. Super psyched to have a project to work with Matty!
	25	★★★ Ashes to Ashes	Sport 18m, 7	Blue Mountains	★★★ Mega Classic	Matthew Glendenning	Mon 17th Jun 2013
King line. If only i could make that dyno!
	25	★★★ Ashes to Ashes	Sport 18m, 7	Blue Mountains	★★★ Classic	Paul Frothy Thomson	Sun 3rd Aug 2014
Flashed all the route in fine style (including the moves at the top) EXCEPT for that damned dyno. I just cannot stick it with any degree of consistency. Other than the irritating stopper-dyno, the rest of the route is awesomely varied climbing on great rock. Not too sure whether I'll be back to try again.
	25	★★★ Ashes to Ashes	Sport 18m, 7	Blue Mountains	★★★ Classic	Adam Mujaj	Sat 23rd May 2015
off at the last move!
	25	★ Cinders	Sport 10m	Blue Mountains	★ Good	Nick Murphy	Sun 30th Aug 2015
Could be a good climb but there's a hold that's obviously been ripped off mid-route and has changed the whole sequence. Might possibly be harder now. Still a cool climb.
	25	★★★ Ashes to Ashes	Sport 18m, 7	Blue Mountains		John Drake	Sat 5th Sep 2015
Got on this just to have a look. It's fun but way hard for me right now- I got shut down hard by three sets of moves. The dyno feels impossible, but the macdoogle left to avoid it is actually quite nice (and it's the original way the route was sent). This could be a fun long-term redpoint project. No birds (5 Sept 15).
	25	★★★ Ashes to Ashes - with Blue Mountains Orangutan	Sport 18m, 7	Blue Mountains	★★★ Classic	Roger Austin	Sun 6th Dec 2015
Great, bouldery climbing interspersed with good rests (except when it isn't). 3 attempts, all clean to the final moves (via the original line) but no cigar. Made the mistake of not getting the moves totally wired after the first attempt. One to come back for.
	25	★★★ Ashes to Ashes - with Sammi	Sport 18m, 7	Blue Mountains	★★★ Classic	Lee Cujes	Sun 13th Dec 2015
At least 3 tricky sections.
	25	★★ Dust to Dust	Sport 15m	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Peter	Mon 28th Dec 2015
Had a couple of shots. The top crux is pretty hard and probably a tad harder than A to A, but cool climbing and quite different.
	25	★★★ Ashes to Ashes	Sport 18m, 7	Blue Mountains	★★★ Mega Classic	Damien Ayers	Mon 24th Apr 2017
Holy Moley, had to rest on every bolt, and couldn't work do 2 sections at all. Felt super hard for 25. But really really cool and varied climbing.
	25	★★★ Ashes to Ashes	Sport 18m, 7	Blue Mountains	★★★ Mega Classic	Damien Ayers	Mon 24th Apr 2017
Very glad I got back on. Clean except for the dyno which I couldn't stick, and an exhausted fall at the top. Pleased to read that it used to head out left at the blankness, which should be a much more reasonable for me.
