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.

With Mike. Dogged to hell, but an awesome route.

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	★★★ 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!

Pumped stupid at the top
	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	★★ 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	★ 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 Tom Collins	Sport 18m, 7	Blue Mountains	★★★ Mega Classic	Tom Collins	Sat 24th Oct 2015
Tried the dyno 20+ times, turns out this is not how it was originally climbed. Oh well next time
	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	★★★ 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	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	★★ 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	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 - with Tristan Lever	Sport 18m, 7	Blue Mountains	★★★ Classic	Ro-boat	Thu 21st Jan 2016
2 laps. Onsight ended at the funny undercling standup move. 2nd go punted the final move. Ahh well...
	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 Matt Minus	Sport 18m, 7	Blue Mountains	★★★ Classic	Eamonn	Sun 31st Jan 2016
I think i'll come back here in a few months and try find an alternative way up! Nice moves though.
	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	★★★ 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.
	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.
	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.

Struggled through the underling dyno and the last crimp
	25	★★★ Ashes to Ashes - with Peri Bolton	Sport 18m, 7	Blue Mountains		Dane Evans	Sun 1st Apr 2018
Every move works, think I could link it after a rest day. Ignore the chalk, the unchalked holds are the key
	25	★★★ Ashes to Ashes - with Brent	Sport 18m, 7	Blue Mountains	★★★ Classic	Tim Clarkson	Sun 20th May 2018
Wow what an amazing piece of rock. Varied and powerful but fun and flowy too. Had to pull last dyno for now (thanks Brent!!) but most of the rest I worked out. Well bolted for the most part.
	25	★★★ Ashes to Ashes - with Alistair	Sport 18m, 7	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Gee Rad	Thu 12th Jul 2018
Flashed to the crux, then fell off the crux maybe 14 times out of 15. Also crimped on my own hand (right hand on left) higher up, not good beta.

	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!
	25	★★★ Ashes to Ashes - with Ben Sanford	Sport 18m, 7	Blue Mountains	★★ Very Good	Will Vidler	Sun 15th Jul 2018
I forgot to log this the other week. Really struggled on the long move because i couldn't be bothered to jump properly and i was annoyed because I had no problems generating 100% of my potential reach by standing up, it just wasn't enough to grab the hold. Otherwise it was mostly easy though. Probably won't come back for it because it will just be a matter of hiking it to the jump, falling off until one day i eventually stick it and (hopefully) go to the top. Not quite the classic I was hoping for, but it definitely has some rad moves!
	25	★★★ Ashes to Ashes - with Bonnie	Sport 18m, 7	Blue Mountains		Dane Evans	Sun 30th Sep 2018
Run up to try the dyno. Couldn’t figure it out and decided to come down to save some skin

Wasn't able to stick the last move but wouldn't take a genius to understand why its a Classic.

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.
