Yiew! Gets progressively harder all the way, and I had to delve deep into the bag of tricks to stick the top with no beta. Not as good as the other routes here.

Unique Slabbing, two ways to go at one part, direct was for me cruxy, great moves

Tough and thin, 3rd shot
	25	★★ Sparkle Motion	Sport 20m, 9		Liam Davey	Thu 25th Apr 2019
Thin and technical, needed to remind myself that it is actually possible to stand on tiny edges. Found the middle part harder than the more burly finish. Second shot.
	25	★★ Sparkle Motion - with Doug McConnell	Sport 20m, 9	Don't Bother	Lee Cujes	Sat 1st May 2021
17 year project! Lol, but also seriously. #FDLFCS [4]
	25	★★ Sparkle Motion — 2 attempts	Sport 20m, 9	★★★ Classic	JeremyPerier	Fri 27th Oct 2023
Beautiful, technical and interesting climbing. One of the best bolted slab I have ever climbed.
	25	★★ Sparkle Motion	Sport 20m, 9	★ Good	Nick Cormack	Sun 17th Sep 2006
Geez thin and balancy. 1 shot and then the nerves were shot.

2nd shot to work out the moves which are now starting to feel comfortable.
	25	★★ Sparkle Motion	Sport 20m, 9	★★ Very Good	Adrian Kladnig	Sat 5th Mar 2016
Damn. So close. Came off at the crux otherwise felt quite comfortable. 3rd shot.
	25	★★ Sparkle Motion	Sport 20m, 9	★★ Very Good	Adrian Kladnig	Sat 5th Mar 2016
Second shot today was even worse than the first. Came off at the lower crux and tweaked my shoulder even more. Game over. 4th shot.

	25	★★ Sparkle Motion	Sport 20m, 9	★★ Very Good	Ben Hanley	Sat 16th Jul 2016
Setting up top rope for some mates. still remembered most of the moves!
	25	★★ Sparkle Motion - with Che	Sport 20m, 9	★★ Very Good	Ro-boat	Wed 7th Dec 2016
Had a great onsight burn, tech'ing my way up to the 2nd last bolt. I then peeled. And proceed to spend 15 minutes trying to climb the last couple of meters to the chains. I wont be running back to finish it off - but it was definitely fun. My top sequence is sick.

	25	★★ Sparkle Motion - with Ludek Sykora, xavier	Sport 20m, 9	★★ Very Good	Gee Rad	Sun 9th Apr 2017
Two attempts, lots of head scratching, very interesting technical moves and a crazy crux.
	25	★★ Sparkle Motion - with Christian Lopez	Sport 20m, 9		Aristotle	Sat 20th Jan 2018
Hard technical moves up top, with no feet.

	25	★★ Sparkle Motion	Sport 20m, 9	★ Good	Ben Jenga	Sat 15th Jun 2019
Onsight finished at the top move when I went too direct. Did the move to the pocket in pretty short time but the holds were feeling a bit to damp. I will try again one day with a bit of a breeze.

v cool thin moves. really enjoy despite spankage and dubiousness of ever being able to send

	25	★★ Sparkle Motion	Sport 20m, 9	★★ Very Good	Maurício Chino	Sat 3rd Apr 2021
End of day scouting lap. The delicate crux at the end kicked my ass. Took me ages to figure out a sequence that works and it is still hard.
	25	★★ Sparkle Motion - with Paul Frothy Thomson	Sport 20m, 9		Match	Tue 28th Dec 2021
Must have more tricks in the tool box and hips like shakira
	25	★★ Sparkle Motion - with Alex	Sport 20m, 9		Anthony Lidbetter	Sun 13th Feb 2022
	25	★★ Sparkle Motion	Sport 20m, 9		Matt King	Sun 6th Nov 2022
Awesome awesome awesome, will come back and lead, just wasn't confident I'd make it to the anchors
	25	★★ Sparkle Motion - with Seth	Sport 20m, 9	★★ Very Good	Luke Yerbury	Mon 29th May 2023
Was hoping this would be more consistent than Ness is best, but it also has a very tricky sequence guarding the anchor. Tried many things but couldn't seem to make anything work. One for another time - a big saturday!
	25	★★ Sparkle Motion	Sport 20m, 9	★★★ Classic	JeremyPerier	Sun 20th Aug 2023
	25	★★ Sparkle Motion - with Freya lamont	Sport 20m, 9		Cameron Lovell	Sat 30th Sep 2023
Great climb, thought I was going well until I hit the black section and couldn't figure out what to do at all!! Completely stumped! Had to bail onto nylon happy to get some draws on the anchors and figure out I still had no idea how to do the last section!
	25	★★ Sparkle Motion - with rew	Sport 20m, 9		Michelle C	Tue 3rd Oct 2023
Two goes, leading bolt-to-bolt and then on TR. Thought I had worked out the crux and it was going to ease to the anchor, but surprise, boss level crux! Thin and reachy move... wonder if there's an easier way?
	25	★★ Sparkle Motion - with JeremyPerier, Naomi	Sport 20m, 9		Demetrius	Sun 12th Nov 2023
not sure if it was tired legs, full sun, lack of ability or a lack of flexibility but i could not get the crux move one to ponder for next time.

Might as well be 28. Glued on crimps of death.
	25	★★ Sparkle Motion	Sport 20m, 9	★★ Very Good	Jason Nguyen	Wed 15th Jan 2014
Start is fairly straight forward, the moves get harder as you go higher. First crux involves a tiny glued on crimp and a ridiculous body position; second crux, double gastons and smears. Could not do the last few moves... Need better beta (or height)
	25	★★ Sparkle Motion - with Sammi	Sport 20m, 9		Lee Cujes	Sat 9th Jan 2016
Couldn't do it 12 years ago, couldn't do it today. Couldn't even do first crux.

	25	★★ Sparkle Motion - with freya	Sport 20m, 9	★★ Very Good	Lachlan Craig	Sun 13th Feb 2022
Fell twice, last move to the jug. Not sure if the right hand hold is in
	25	★★ Sparkle Motion	Sport 20m, 9	★ Good	Ben Jenga	Sat 17th Sep 2022
High pointed to the same last bolt as last time but couldn’t even do the move today.
