I lead pitches 1,3 and 5, whilst Youf (Duggo) lead 2, and 4. A sustained experience. I was fading on the last pitch. Great top out!

	17	★★★ Heretic - with Anthony Cuskelly	Trad 120m	Mt Rosea	★★★ Classic	Aaron Lowndes	Sat 7th Mar 2015
Done in two long pitches - Anthony did p1 and p2 together, then I did the rest in one (we had an 80m rope). Excellent climbing, worthy of 3 stars!

Linked pitch 1 and 2. I really loved pitch 4 on great orange rock.
	17	★★★ Heretic	Trad 120m	Mt Rosea	★★★ Classic	Vanessa Wills	Wed 28th Oct 2015
20thCfox in the morning and another classic in the afternoon on the other side of the range. Fun day. Led p3 and 5

Didn't find it very memorable to be honest. Matilde linked up the first two pitches, then we did the rest as per the book. I got confused at the crux of the 4th pitch and ended up dogging, after hanging out on a crimp for about 20 minutes trying to figure out which way to go. Opted to go up the odd groove (left) rather than the fused corner (right) to have a bit more pro and avoid the dodgy rock.

Absolute euphoric climb. Second, third and fourth pitches especially beautiful. Unexpected jamming section on the third took a small spill but was caught by my cam!
	17	★★★ Heretic - with Michelle Fan	Trad 120m	Mt Rosea	★★★ Classic	Sam Lothringer	Sat 23rd Feb 2019
Glorious. Not a bad tick for leaving melb at 9am.
	17	★★★ Heretic - with Michael Mink, Mark Switzer	Trad 120m	Mt Rosea	★★★ Mega Classic	Bernd Schiffer	Sat 18th May 2019
Repeat. Lead p1+p5. Michael led p2-4. Mark's first multi-pitch. Now I led all pitches in two ascents. First one still trickier than 15. I'd give it a 16. Overall fantastic climb. One of (if not the) best at that grade.

Really fun sustained route, rock quality wasn't ideal but much better than Debutante. P3 had hard moves with ledge falls for the leader, big hex or two might help. Otherwise very well protected, double small totems really soothed the nerves. Micro nuts handy for anchors
	17	★★★ Heretic	Trad 120m	Mt Rosea	★★ Very Good	Alexis Arnold	Mon 12th Feb 2024
Got lost on the fourth pitch, so maybe not a tick? Would do again.

	17	★★★ Heretic - with Timmy Wong	Trad 120m	Mt Rosea	★★★ Classic	Michael Hallang	Sat 8th Sep 2018
Great climb, led pitch 4&5 in one pitch. Recommend the little boulder problem at the end with a 120 drop.
	17	★★★ Heretic - with Renata	Trad 120m	Mt Rosea	★★★ Classic	Gee Rad	Mon 1st Apr 2019
Repeat. Lead pitch 3, and then linked 4 and 5. Last time I did 3, 4 and 5 in a pitch on a single rope with huge rope drag(!) Still pretty draggy. Might take double ropes to Rosea next time

With Sui and Mars, did a silly variant of pitch 4 at grade 19/20ish (straight up instead of stepping right into the corner)

Maybe the best multi pitch grade 17 I've done in Australia. Quality all the way, and you finish looking directly down at where you started 117 metres below.

The corner high up keed you thinking even at 17.

Amazing climbing! Well sustained with good protection (a little fiddly on the forth pitch). Highly recommended!
	17	★★★ Heretic - with Jenna Harris	Trad 120m	Mt Rosea	★★★ Mega Classic	Pete Bovino	Sat 4th Apr 2015
One of the most sublime climbs i have ever done. Every pitch is worthy of the 3 stars.

Memorable ascent, dropped my left shoe after pitch 2... Linked Pitch 1-2 and 4-5.
	17	★★★ Heretic - with brian	Trad 120m	Mt Rosea	★★★ Classic	Gee Rad	Thu 10th Aug 2017
On a single 70m rope Brian linked 1 and 2 (50m pitch), and I linked 3, 4 and 5 (super draggy 60m pitch). It probably would have been faster and certainly nicer to do the short third pitch on it's own, to the awesome ledge. My recommended rack is double cams .3-3, and,nuts, (most of the gear is big nuts or cams .4-.5 size), at least one rope, and 10+ alpine draws.
	17	★★★ Heretic	Trad 120m	Mt Rosea	★★★ Classic	Dave Scarlett	Sat 9th Sep 2017
A fantastic outing with committing sections on each of the three middle pitches - P2 when the thin cracks appear on the right wall and you need to move out of the corner, P3 from the ledge up through the crack with the void behind it, and the last 10m of P4 when route-finding becomes difficult. (I ignored the blank, ~1.5m tall corner with the roof and crack above it, and instead traversed right to climb the adjacent face before moving back left into the crack.) Led pitches 2, 4. Got a bit confused on P2 and started way out left on the slab and traversed back in to the corner. Realised afterwards that it's P3, with the obvious flake, that you're supposed to start left on. Astonishingly, was almost completely dry despite many other routes on the cliff seeping heavily from previous days' rain.

	17	★★★ Heretic - with Michael Smith	Trad 120m	Mt Rosea	★★★ Mega Classic	Bernd Schiffer	Mon 9th Apr 2018
What an epic adventure! Really good and sustained climb, almost all pitches. I led p2-5, Michael led p1. When I seconded p1, I thought pulling through the crux was way harder than a 15. I'd grade that a hard 16 or even a 17. P2 is just fun, cruising up the crack at solid grade 17. P3 is the money pitch. Getting up the flake is already bold, but the crux is the corner, where I pulled on good hand and awful feet. Lost my footing once and then pulled through, ending head-first in a bush. I think I got lost on p4, ending too much on the left. Had to traverse right back to the corner. P6 is a tough 16, but so much fun to climb. Highly recommend this route!
	17	★★★ Heretic - with Ancala	Trad 120m	Mt Rosea	★★★ Classic	Adam Mujaj	Sat 21st Apr 2018
A thoroughly enjoyable ramble up the wall. The moves never got too hard. Some with two sets of nuts and one set of cams 0.3-2 and felt it was more than adequate.
	17	★★★ Heretic - with Michael Hallang, Brent Caldwell	Trad 120m	Mt Rosea	★★★ Classic	Timmy Wong	Sat 8th Sep 2018
Led first pitch. Joined P1+2 and P4+5 for 3 great pitches of the same grade. Crux pitch is tad harsh for its grade.

Wowwww what a route. 5 pitches of glory, not a single boring moment. Amazing movement, super good gear, safe but thought provoking runouts, this had it all. To top it all off, every odd pitch has a tree to belay from and a great ledge to lay on.
