Ascents in Arapiles as various tick types by Douglas Hockly

Despite looking like it's hardly worth doing this route has three really interesting technical sections. Traverse into it above the bolts. Double ropes are a must and a tiny cam is nice to have.

I thought this was good, worth a star. I didn't know that you go left to a seam in reddish rock and then back right out of the cave so I spent a fair bit of time routefinding. I know I was tired but this seemed hard for the grade - 15 or 16 maybe. Not lashings of gear either, not recommended as your first 14. Chain above The Verge.

The roof is good climbing, the crux is mantling onto the slab over the lip! Worth a star.

Good climbing, still pretty hard for 18! Some large cams (3 & 4) were good and actually large hexes would be better if you could be bothered carrying them.

Poor rock and gear hard to place on crux. Climbing is ok. Scylla is better.

Good. Nathan Hoette eliminated the knee bars at about 28.

10 days, two knee bars and two heel-toes. Mostly layaways and underclings.

Hard! and would be a goey lead off rp

super greasy

Two days

I found the pro to be good with small cams - including grey alien

Always hard!

Backed off on lead. The initial corner is hard and not well protected at all. The top wall is chossy but not bad climbing.

Great warmup.

Great route - steep, technical and sustained.

Really great, just lacking a good finish really. Finishing up Copyright is probably a better route all round.

I really like this one! Great underclinging with not much for your feet. Saw Dave solo it and I think I was more nervous than him.

Rubbish

Just the top flake. OK, not worth doing again.

Seemed hard, and wire seemed like it would be hard to place

You can go straight up - off a shallow midsize cam, or diagonally left to finish as for Hendrix (better and better protected).

All cams up to yellow - save a yellow for the last break on the overhanging wall.

Also a bit worrying up the top! Best done on a confident day.

Slippery and hard for the grade

Hard and pumpy and difficult to protect well at the start. #4 camalot helps.

Slick and hard!

Needs rebolting. The start is crimpy and not that great. It's a better route to do the start of Claw and join the traverse at about 4m. Gear is not totally bomber with a shallow cam pretty much all between you and the ground.

A little runout after the flake

Rubbish - really loose

Rubbish - really loose

Good actually, but too thin for me these days.

Loose as anything. Rubbish.

Rubbish.

The hard start is hard.

Pretty tough!

very short

Reachy and pretty tough.

Beware the easy but very run out finish

Very short

Steep for 14! Great route.

Pretty goey and the rock's not great but it's memorable!

Good, but the original doesn't need improving. A thin technical move.

Fantastic, super interesting climbing. No gear off the ledge, and the first move is not easy.

Interesting
