Ascents of Metamorphosis

So stoked to get this! Was a lot of fun to work.

Opening the project, super fun climbing

Got some pro short person beta for the start boulder and it just came together! This will be a hard weekend to beat

Mmm felt very weak trying this today.

The draws that have been on this for a while need removing. Also to the psycho that put the draws on upside down, just stop, don’t do that, nobody likes that, doing that is not jugs. Was hoping the activity on this somewhat recently had cleaned it up but it’s still a disgusting choss pit. Had some fun on the crux tho.

Obviously if you are shorter/ can’t kneebar it might be 29

Potentially some progress despite the rubbish conditions

Soft

Easier than wham bam

Yay!

Second shot 6th day on So spoogee the chalk washed off my hands

Couldn’t get past the lower crux and couldn’t do the start of the upper crux

Pulled each move in isolation, so pretty damn stoked. Rock was quite damp - would require some good conditions (or a lot more strength) to send. Love the movements, but it’s really just 2 boulders separated by a few metres of jugs and a hands free rest

Looks like someone has got a bit to excited brushing that start "cruxy" hold, looks about 50% bigger than 3 months ago

Another one I'd tried years ago. Good despite the rock and massive rests.

Claiming this as a send was a lot more controversial than I expected, even tho I knew it didn’t count haha. Didn’t clip the anchors. For me personally it felt a bit easy for a 9 but I think that crux is my style.

Another one to aspire too. Mega.

a lap to work the crux, then a one sit and an attempt to end the day. Feels really close but i need to get more consitent with the beta, and stop doing sequences out of order.

Good conditions definitely make this way better. Felt really good but sat at the crux to give myself a chance of figuring it out. Finally just committed to a sequence and it feels really reasonable. Still have do the last cruxy throw but it seems very achievable.

Dry conditions might improve the experience but today it felt like a short interesting bouldery sequence followed by hauling on uncomfortable wet sandpit jugs. The top crux looks cool but was far to damp to feel doable.

Actually a really good route minus the sand and choss. One burn feeling the moves, top crux is burley!

Boom! Top boulder is stellar!

A little sandy in the middle, but great opening boulder and stellar finish!! One sit. Feels super doable.
