Ascents by Niko Eltarenko having Distinct route

Misread the V8 Topo and climbed this problem. Felt cool enough to be an official problem. Basically avoiding all of the good holds, climb the aggressive, small crimps all the way to the victory jug. Took three goes to complete. V3 felt fair

Classic! But V6 this ain't

Much better than it looks

Cool problem. A couple of goes today before heading to the cave area. Almost topped out at my last attempt; make sure you brush the topout, it requires some friction

Fucking awesome! A must do for anyone who is staying in the campsite nearby.

Damn this thing is slippery. But oh so good!

Good one Niko. On my first run managed to split two of my old finger wounds wide open... Then kept trying to send this with only my index and ring finger operational.

So I am back where I was before with some progress made. Can one arm lockoff and then match inside the "Huecko" followed by very low percentile double toe hook and grab sequence. Still a little off. Need to figure out as to why it works sometimes and not others... At the end of my session discovered how some people think that this problem is soft. See V6 Aquarius, any problems/suggestions feel free to start a discussion.

Excellent! Felt soft but I had an advantage where I could really compress inside the starting holds.

Took 5 goes to send. Short'n'Sweet

You will go hedge trimming; but it's worth it. Definitely give those upper holds a brush before you jump on; they are full of dirt and leaves.

Alright so I watched a youtube video of a guy sending this and realised I had to throw up with my right rather than my left. So... reversed hands; holy crap; yep definitely a V8 now. Can get to the desperate bulge; can not for the life of me bump my hand to the next hold. Even holding that pose requires everything I can possibly give. Need to train harder to acquire beast mode; alternatively if I could make gravity weaker....

A quick warmup and a warmdown lap. Quite easy for my bodytype.

Damn. Tried so many different ways. None of them better than the others. Might be still slightly above my paygrade for the time being.

Sent. But almost at the ultimate price of snapping my ankle in half. Learned the hard way that the heel hook if positioned as far forward for the most amount of reach may lock in place as you fall. Thank god for spotters. In the end it was the sideward toe hook/drop knee hybrid that did it. Got the match fully static with no swing by having my right foot still inside the mega bulge.

On the softer side of a V5. Very low on the start. Excellent!

Awesome!

Kneecap and Shin destroying. Don't say I didn't warn you.

The pinch (under the conditions I had) has become climbfit/sissy crag quality kind of hold. Caked in chalk and smooth to the point where I would slip off if tried holding on harder.

Misread it as V7... Solid progress with single rail line toe/heel hook beta. Had to leave before I could work the latter break.

V5 if you're short. Tried 8 different ways all together. Most ways resulted in my knee hitting the roof or my torso whacking against the upper lip. Found an undercling in the roof; one arm bicept curl brought the send home.

Ha! Almost flashed it. Again that bloody long shared throw at the end got me. This micro crag is like being stuck on an island with really rare Pokemon. Trying to catch them all with only a few crappy pokeballs and no way of getting more.

Putrid Feet; really wrecks your shoes. Interesting how the rock can be so solid yet so crumbly and perishing at the same time. Not quite sure how to match on that ledge.

Couldn't reach the starting pocket in any way.

It seems that my memory is not the best when it comes to climbing. Could hardly recall any of the developed beta. But managed to tick it. Awesome!

A couple of quick fangs for 15min after work.

Raining today. Figured a way to get to the ramp now. Now have some funky knee jam/pull beta. May been able to send it if all the stars aligned. We'll see!

Warm-up. A little pumpy

And sent! However conditions were less than favourable. Damp holds all the way! Very good problem.

Tried 2 times, extremely chossy.

Feels a little light for the grade given. Give it a good brush prior though, seems to collect a lot of sand. Excellent problem and pick of the bunch.

Thought that this was the open project but after figuring out the line realised that I was slightly left of track. Definitely harder than Sky Rockets, but I am reluctant to give it a V5 rating. Maybe with additional traffic it can either go up or remain at V4.

Too slimy today.

The hardest v0 on earth

Stopped being fun today. Holds we're damp and no amount of chalk helped.

Descent enough.

Came here because we had a couple of showers last night. Ideal wet weather venue my ass! Sure you don't get rained upon but the holds are super slimy about a quarter of the wall is seeping and most of the footers are just pure mud. Not impressed.

Excellent. Should have stars but over-graded by a mile; lets just say that the problem Bill Smith graded V1 at Sissy Crag is harder . Contender for the easiest V3 in all of Sydney.

Nice! Had to leave before I could compete this puppy. Will be back!

Satisfying to get. If you're struggling due to height and want a bit of advice here it is. I could only do it by cutting all my feet and hands and aiming to the far right. When you reach the hold your legs will swing out turning the sloper into a sideways jug. Use that time to secure yourself and then proceed to topout.

Excellent easy, yet satisfying climbing to a petrifyingly difficult topout. Need to do this with spotters and an extra mat. The sacrificial anvil shaped "widow maker" rock at the bottom of your potential fall-area is not a what we would call an ideal landing zone.

First dyno is super satisfying. Not sure about the second as soon as I went for it half way up the flight the sun beamed straight into my eyes and I completely missed the hold, and almost my mat. Scared me enough not to attempt again, will be back though,
