Ascents in Sydney Metropolitan by Rob Medlicott

Failed at the start.

Pretty hard down low. Good fun though

Pretty fun. Cool crux

Couldn't figure out the move and thought this was the 17...I was cursing your name Mr Brooks!

I'm too weak..

Couldn't commit to the undercling jump. Gotta get my in back in the game!

Didn't read the description and got told it was 18. Just got on the route and used a couple of jugs on the right. Stupidly contrived to stick to the crimps. These routes are too close together.

2 goes. Missed a hold going around the roof

Nails!

Are these 3 meant to top out? If so, then the grades are probably fair. We didn't bother trying in the dark, with dirt all over the lip.

The slopers were really slippery tonight and hard to hold. Couldn't get it done and was losing too much skin..

Awesome fun! Fell off right at the end, on my last attempt of the night, doh!

Would like to get back on this with better friction. Those crimps were hard to hold. Keen to tick it off though.

Got a hand to it a couple times but didn't quite hold it. Another one to come back to

Had a play. The start requires a good wingspan but it might still go with some work.

Sandbar or Sandbag? This was hard for a 2..

Would probably be good, if the top wasn't covered in moss...had to bail

Good fun, pretty scary with dirt on the holds but all good.

Almost fell backwards off the mantle, when my hand slipped on the dirt

I really liked this at the grade. Good, fun moves!

Bit stiff at V1...

Good fun

Quick play but that dyno is tricky...

Same grade as Greenhouse for sure, as it has the same crux and possibly harder climbing beforehand...

Definitely no harder than Colour Run but slightly better. They were all pretty tricky, with the sweat and spooge but i got there on the second burn.

Nice, long warm up

Quite hard to get the hands to stick to the sloper in today's spooge but once i felt ok, i went for it and just stuck the next hold.

Really fun easy climbing, with a tricky finish. Felt about 24 to me. Second shot.

I really liked this one! Wish it was longer!

The new start is way harder than 22. Change the grade or climb it the way the first ascent was done. After the start its really good!

Good little climb. I found the move after coming out of the cave quite goey.

Tried to get off the ground and bashed my heel again, so i left it alone...

Hmmm, a little thinnerer than i expected...hard!

Quite fun, probably soft though

Just a couple crimps on smeary feet. Not bad.

Heel slipped off on my second attempt and bashed a tree root, limped for the rest of the day....but sent on the 4th go. Great boulder problem!

Dyno to mantle, fun!

Nice bum park, really good at the grade!

Quick play, on the way to Sloper Dan. Pretty sure i can do this but I'd have to come here and just try to tick it.

Warm up repeat

Warm up repeat, took a couple goes to remember the beta.

Repeat, while Fil was trying it.
