Ascents in Sydney Metropolitan as Attempt by z_swander

Feeling pretty close for a first session. Not going to call it before its done, but I don't climb v8.

Got all the moves, but didn't have the juice to link it.

Couldn't hold the finish jug.

Throwing to a sloper ain't happening in 30 degrees with high humidity.

Tall man route. Neil was instructing me how to hand jam after tossing up some protection. My thumb muscle is a bit too beefy to get bomber jams that allow you to pull perpendicular to the break, and the reach upwards is just too far for my wingspan. It will be desperate if attempting again.

Great moves with a beautiful traverse, followed by a funky move to the high traverse back. I had to work the roof transition (2nd shot) to find a sequence that worked with my style. Should go next visit!

Tried to warm up on this (not a pump issue), but it gets beyond thin before the last bolt. Old school slabbing ain't my thang.

MIxed emotions on this one. The route is very broken up, and the boulder problem up high is rad, but very sandy and awful in the heat. All the moves got sorted on this first burn, but I wasn't inspired for a second one. Possibly the worst anchor placements ever. May come back for the spite tick.

Line of the crag, burly and straightforward.

Bad news good news...bad news, the chicken head hold broke off the final headwall leading to a nice big whip. It's nowhere to be found. Good news, the move still goes via the adjacent edge with enough room for 1 pad across both hands. Probably more solid for the grade, but I've been spit off harder 24s (Hard 25 in truth?). 2 laps, including a high point, but couldn't push through the extension without calling for a take. Pumper, no difficult moves. Back cleaning nearly killed me, permadraws?

The comeback starts here! 2 shots, no endurance, and called it quits turning the lip of the roof. Not a bad baseline.

Not gonna happen with the starting heel hook. Feeble

Not the best conditions for this. Could be a V4 imo.

How you do this is beyond me. Hit the tree? Rub the skin off your forearms? Levitate? Not worth it really.

I hate this climb, the quality gets progressively worse the higher you go. Got spit off the upper crux but I have her figured out now.

Superb. I did the crux after resting on the anchors of JD. Just need to train for endurance. May go next session.

I won't comment on quality because slabbing is my kryptonite. Said no thank you at the second bolt. Thanks for the go Bundy.

Fell after the crux on two occasions. Just need a fresh shot.

This one mover is hard as nails. Getting to the lip every time, but I just can't seem to hold onto it correctly.

Thought it would be easy, not so much. Iron cross on slopers sans feet. 3 shots

So very close, limited time spent working it because my right arm dies immediately after 3 shots.

These routes only work if you siege or come around once per week. I was spit off the last move at least 3 times (hard on link), but did Foam about 5 times!

1st shot worked out all the moves, 2nd shot couldn't pull through the second crux. Linking up the two halves should happen on the next visit.

End of the day, the nemesis remains. Will go next time.

Tough, with consequences if your mantle is not successful.

Can't rock onto to right foot...yet

So close.

Had silly instructions to throw for a high point mid traverse. Good problem, will try again.

Silly to eliminate great hand holds adjacent to the the slopey rubbish. Skip it or use the better holds to warm up.

Very doable, but fingers haven't been battled hardened in a fair while.

Tough move, but I'm close. Better variation of Foam.

One V4/5 boulder move after 3 easy mantels does not equal 22. New beta, too much humidity, looking for a spite tick.

Held the flake from the crux for a half second, the move needs precise body positioning. Probably will go when fresh.
