Pretty easy but would be a bold lead with only two bolts!

15 | ★★ Me And My Dog - with Rose | 45m, 11 | ★★★ Classic | |||
Great route, I must have missed at least one bolt that put me a LONG way above the gear in the middle, kept a cool head and felt good!
|
||||||
17 | ★★ Sports Fan - with Rose | 45m, 11 | ★★ Very Good | |||
Very nice route. The fun moves through overhang are well protected. Crux is finding the carrots!

One tricky section at the start then just stepping up blocky slab for 25m.

Done just to take photos of the view from the top. So polished that this climb is no doubt a lot harder that when it was originally climbed.
|
||||||
6b | ★★ Humming Song | 15m, 6 | ★★ Very Good | |||
Nice! Pretty exciting with the un-Thailand-like space between the bolts. Great moves that make anyone look good. I think I made it into an Italian families holiday album!

6a | ★★ A Man Can Tell a 1000 Lies | 15m, 4 | Don't Bother | |||
Polished, shit rock, run out between crappy slings, shithouse. Beginners would be better off doing a slightly harder better quality route to the right.
|
||||||
6a+ | ★★ Hello Christine | 20m, 7 | ★★ Very Good | |||
Great climb, fun moves between the bolts with good stances and an exciting and pumpy finish. Deserves more stars.

Holy school groups batman! Wanted a nice chilled multi to take R up on. Ended up on the route for 5 hours getting stuck behind a guide and 5(!) school kids who snaked us coming up the intro route. still an enjoyable day and surprisingly the last two pitches contained some genuine climbing for such a low grade. I led all.

Woah, bloody tough 13, even for the Araps. Awkward, strenuous, type 2 fun. Only worth doing to climb something on blockbuster ledge.

Atridae House of Atreus | ||||||

Sun 5th Oct 2014 - Arapiles | ||||||
Atridae Muldoon Area | ||||||
10 | ★ Clytemnaestra Buttress | 45m | ★★ Very Good | |||
Start of the second pitch is so full on for a grade 10 that it is comical. Technically easy no doubt, but the position is just wild. The rest of the climb is nothing special but still enjoyable, the crows nest belay up top is great. I led second, Dave got 1st pitch.

The Pharos and Surrounds The Pharos Front Wall and West Face | ||||||
12 | ★★ Hurricane Lamp Cracks | 120m | ★ Good | |||
Old school, unpleasant chimneys, traverses, loose blocks, a tough start to pitch 4 and a mis-read of the topo meaning we thought that finishing up the last pitch of the Shroud was supposed to be a walk out! But of course still thoroughly enjoyable. Pitches; Dave 1,3,5, me: 2,4 and bonus pitch 6 (AKA the Shroud "walk out").

Oh the Bard, so much hype and so much dread for what is, on paper, an easy route. For anyone who asks why you would come to Araps to climb "easy" climbs for two weeks you need to get on this. I'll never forget finishing the third pitch with all that clear air below my heels. Pitches; Dave: 2,4, me: 1,3,5.

Sat 19th Jul 2014 - Mt Maroon | ||||||
Viewpoint Buttress | ||||||
17 | ★ Mexicana | 60m | ★★ Very Good | |||
I think this is the route we climbed, headed left at the top of Rocks Of Honey first pitch and up into the nice crack system in the centre of the highest section.
There were a couple of committing scary moves down low with OK gear. the crux might be getting over the bush at half height! |
||||||
16 17 | ★ Rocks Of Honey | 60m | ★★ Very Good | |||
Flaring 3 sided chimney on the first pitch is an excellent, really technical climb that requires a fair bit of thought. Good gear all the way.
Headed left and linked into second pitch of what I think was Mexicana, aesthetic long crack system up the centre of the highest part of the wall. |
||||||
16 15 | ★ Mettiste | 60m | ★★ Very Good | |||
Climbed the first pitch of this with leaning hand crack, then went around the arĂȘte on the right up to tree and continued to large ledge up thin corner which might have been second pitch of Rocks Of Honey.
First pitch is great with good gear and hand jams. Second pitch was really good as well what ever it was but scary for the second because the traverse is very hard to protect for the second. |

I thought this would be better given the popularity, the rock is turning back into sand up top! The bolts at the chains are looking pretty ordinary as well, some glue-ins are in order.
