Ascents in Sand River by Ryan Sklenica

Cool bouldery crux

Awesome feature

Amazing line up the blankness, would be an impressive onsight. Best vertical route at sr, almost…. definitely 26

Fun boulder

Done the og way with the dyno, it’s not that bad for the grade. IMO if you go out left you haven’t done Fortuna, Dan has conveniently added a variant on here for this “route”.

Never logged the most classic route at sand river. I heard some of the strongest locals couldn’t get up it.. what a test piece...

Weirdly avoids the crux of both Hercules and three daggers, hence 26. Looks harder than it is.

Helps to extend the bolt before heading into the first crux.

Awesome climbing, the top boulder is sick! Easier than gambit especially if you use better redpoint tactics (knee pads)

Not bad eh... the obvious and best line at the sun deck

Sorta flash, but tops out Hercules. Awesome!

Ultra thin v8 with bolts, climbs alright though, better give it a star or it’ll never see a 2nd ascent. (There is a backstory to the name...)

Best boulder at the coliseum. Solid at the grade

2nd ascent, a rad boulder in the sky.

Climbs better than it looks... funky holds through the small roof keeps you thinking.

Repeat

4th attempt Rad steeeep climbing!

Repeat, still sweet!

One move wonder

Cool moves down low, unfortunately it does not continue.

2nd go

Repeat, awesome route! Get on it!

Repeat, still mega

Repeat, needs 3 stars... one of the best routes at SR.

Glueing could be a little neater... headwall was ok.

Deserves a star at least, rad, powerful moves. Was tough at 24

First try today after trying it a couple times ages ago, could be 29

New beta, now an even cooler sequence!

Also first sneakers ascent?

First sneakers ascent?

Repeat

Hard one to figure out, definitely 25.

Hard if you don’t know the sequence.. 2nd go...

2nd go, sweet climbing, rad sequence at the top. Well worth the 2 stars... if only it was longer.
