Ascents in Sydney Metropolitan

a funky multipitch in a beatiful locale!! dogged the shi# out P3, was harder than I was anticipating for sure

Pumped at the top, mono off the last bolt ;_;

Mad fun!!! Got there first and climbed the first pitch in the sun, then got some shade towards 11 (thankfully). Protection is good and ledges are ace. Found the crux of the final pitch hard and took some solid top rope falls into space working out the move with tired hands.

We spoke to the ranger at the top. He was pretty stoked and happy we were climbing correctly. He'd counted 14 people in the queue to climb it (including us 2 parties of 2) - probably busy due to the Blue Mountains fires. We said we'd hop the fence to walk out as rappelling would be dangerous and annoying for climbers below and he said that made sense.

Frickin epic

Surprised there are any holds left after reading the comments of previous climbers. Pitch one was great. Pitch two was slightly harder right before reaching the belay (lots of rope drag, not a very direct route). Pitch three was also really cool, although I'd like to return to do the crux properly. Slightly sandbagged for a 20 I feel.

Stunning climb!

A nice afterwork excursion

Really exciting climb

Really tricky mantle off the deck on first pitch, couldn't figure it out and pulled through on draw. Second pitch greasy and dirty. Third pitch great strong but easy climbing for 8 meters.

Really fun climb! First pitch is pretty short but still a fun little crack problem. The second pitch is really enjoyable to climb in spite of there being a bit of moss but getting to the anchors can be a little tricky if you're short. I recommend going towards the right. third pitch is a fun little number which is followed by quite a wandery fourth pitch. The top is pretty sharp but the holds are nice so it's not too bad. Reckon I would have had it if I wasn't so tired by this point!

Clipped Pas to bolts where possible after p1, the rock quality gets progressively worse the higher you get especially the last pitch, like mouldy swiss cheese mmm yum.

Climbed this again to show it to Robin. He wasn't impressed with the rock quality and mantles, but we had fun, and we did it in less than 1h I think!

Getting off the deck through that mantle proved to be the hardest part of this climb - the lankier you are it seems the more awkward this move is.

Felt the holds walking by in summer and thought how do you pull this spoodgy mess without popping a pulley, then walking by today as i was leaving felt them again and the weather made the crimps feel large so pulled on and did it then did it again because it felt 5/6 but i can understand how it would be difficult in sub prime conditions

5 or 6 changed beta while trying danger after lopes showed up and told me of the better sequence and became a fair bit easier, I guess thats onsighting

Fun. Hard first move. The fixed draws seem pretty dodgy...

cool but contrived

10/10 great holds

No way this is V6, I might have done it wrong....

Good. Last move committing for me.

pumpy and powerful

easy- just reach

What a great line. Gets a little heady on the mantle. Perhaps it needs an R added...

In the modern world of roof climbing and kneebars, this would be a grade 24 roof route if it was on a rope, but it does seem a bit mean to suggest it's a V3?

kinda not worth the effort

Definitely v3
