Ascents in Arapiles as Onsight by Cameron Roy

Man i love placing wires like this! Stellar route.

A few moves above your gear

Awesome line. Very sustained. Gets steeper and steeper as you go. Great summer climb.

Crux leaving the ground with no gear. Really nice climb after that. Loose blocks on top

Required a bit of grunting to get up this. No time to hang around! Gear was pretty good but the rock is a bit average in places - i knocked a bit out while placing a cam.

Cool climb. Not sure about putting gear behind some of the flakes on the traverse.

Pretty good. Funky move at the crux.

I'm 193cm tall. Placed a high cam at the start at full stretch to protect the crux rockover move.

Exciting route but it's only 2 moves long. Didn't see any loose blocks (as mentioned in the description.) There was one large flake though.

Kind of hard to see where to go starting off the tree. Went up little depression between bulges heading towards leftmost crack. Seemed a bit dangerous so I'm feeling this is closer to 19 than 18.

The rest of the climb was great though.

Got a bit scared at the jam crack so built a belay and brought Elisa up. Got braver and headed up. Super awesome climb. Placed more gear than was necessary but that's what I do when I'm peaking...

Stellar route. Good protection. Very sustained after the low crux, strenuous to place gear there, then continuously absorbing before the final climax through the roof.

Thought I might have been condemned in that cell for life. Eventually worked out how to escape (there is chalk everywhere and most of it is no use.) The second crux at 2/3 height is also pretty nice.

Move onto the belay ledge was spicy! It rained while we were on the ledge so I got scared and Phil did the 2nd pitch.

I felt the 2nd bolt wasn't required. It could be 17 with 2 bolts or 18 with just the 1st bolt.

Made me work a bit.

Yeah baby! Superb line, awesome climb.

Got a couple of wires stuck in the belay so had to abseil down with a rock.

Full on! I think I'm still on my jamming L plates.

Pretty goey moving up to the flake! Placing gear was strenuous.

Great gear. Good to get back on the sharp end after a slightly sore shoulder over the past few days. A few tough moves at the top.

Reachy. An excellent wire at the crux helped a lot.

Great route, good gear. Small footers through the crux.

Exciting, great route.

I found the crux a little harder than asteroid, but I thought asteroid was more sustained and enjoyable. Missed the dinosaur but Elisa pointed it out while seconding.

More sustained and enjoyable than dinosaur.

As much as I love double ropes, this seemed fine on a single. Nice climb, good name.

Jams are not my strong point, but I got through it. There was only really one section that didn't have any face holds.

Was a little worried after seeing it was previously rated 18 here on thecrag, but it felt like an easy 17 to me. My reach might have helped.

Takes great pro, I laced it up waiting for the crux that never came.

Loved it. Gear was sufficient. Didn't see the old carrot mentioned in the guide.

Led the variant on P4 - quite exciting. A good route.

Unprotected boulder problem off ground, took me a few attempts. I suggest anchoring your belayer/spotter. After that it was a fairly pleasant route. Traverse on P1 exciting. Some nearby climbers made some suggestions for pulling around the roof on P4.

An absolute ripper at the grade. Sam led P1, I had the rest.

Felt tough, but well protected so all good. Quite sequency traversing left.

Felt really strong on this, or maybe it's soft at the grade? Bit of farting around to get off the top.

Led the 2nd pitch as Sam didn't want to commit to the slick initial moves of the chimney. I quite enjoyed it, reminded me of the great chimney at Moonarie.

Started in wrong R facing corner (closer to eskimo nell.) Linked P1+2 (horrible rope drag) Crux felt very hard at 15. A solid 16 I would say!! I went across and back about 7 or 8 times before committing to a very awkward sequence. Sam led the final 2 pitches. Ropes got stuck on top part of abseil

A little gem.

Climbed Menz + Tempest version. Crux pitch very nice - very thin face moves followed very closely by steep jugs - contrasting. The rest of the route was a bit mediocre though.

Great climb. Surely worth two stars if it wasn't for the bees.

We finished at the Gay Olympics anchor.

One definite crux - very pleasant though.

Got a serious wake up call on this. Apparently I'm a bit of a non-jamming bumbly and thus had to try and layback the crux, which got the blood pumping. It's quite steep for a 13.

Linked 1+2. Low crux was quite strenuous. Got a bit lost on P2 and went too far right, it worked out eventually though.

I have a dim memory of climbing this before, but I can't be sure. Good climb anyway.

Linked P1+2. Start fairly strenuous. Second pitch nice. Third pitch superb.
