	22	★★★ Reaper 1 22 40m 2	Trad 40m	Arapiles	★★★ Classic	Sami	Wed 21st Apr 2021
Got worked hard. Unusual cramped climbing, not really a crack climb.
	22	★★★ Reaper 1 22 40m 2	Trad 40m	Arapiles	★★ Very Good	Ryan Gaskon	Sun 25th Sep 2022
onsighted P1. froze my ass off at the belay for an hour after Leigh realised he needed a pre-climb weight loss/toilet stop. Icy immobile muscles led to a fall seconding P2 after committing to wrong beta. will have to come back for the full tick
	21	★★★ Auto Da Fe - with Di 1 21 40 2 21 50 3	Trad 90m	Arapiles	★★★ Mega Classic	Lachlan Anderson	Sun 24th Jan 2021
Amazing second pitch, went right then left at the crux before figuring it out up the middle. So nice to sit at the top and watch the wobblies and rosellas below.
	21	★★★ Auto Da Fe - with The Slammer 1 21 30m lead by Jake Delaney 2 21 45m lead by The Slammer	Trad 75m	Arapiles		Jake Delaney	Sat 21st May 2022
don't know what this 3 pitch nonsense is. it's a two pitch climb. and a superb one at that. be sure to not miss the dyno start. really does have it all
	20	★★★ Five Fingered Mary - with Olivia 1 16 42m lead by Olivia 2 18 24m lead by Ian.Grabowski 3 18 24m lead by Ian.Grabowski 4 20 15m lead by Ian.Grabowski	Trad 110m	Arapiles	★★ Very Good	Ian.Grabowski	Tue 18th Feb 2020
Memorable. P1 - veg. P2 was excellent climbing. P3 start was fairly perplexing initially but managed to find some on-grade beta. P4 - Got up into the roof proper and essentially gave up - poor form - aided a 2m section and then freed out the last squeezy sideways section, taking my helmet off mid squeeze.
	20	★★ Fly Lichen Eagle - with Stanislav Likane, Nick 1 20 90m 2	Trad 90m	Arapiles		Adam Flower	Sun 9th May 2021
Solid route! I would rate the second pitch as better than Auto Da Fae's, if not for the abseil traffic. The first pitch also not as bad as the book makes out, though it was pretty consistent and thought provoking for a 17.
	19	★★★ Judgement Day - with Climb that turkey, Cat A 1 19 30 lead by Cat A 2 25 lead by Hamish 3 15 lead by Climb that turkey	Mixed trad 70m, 1	Arapiles	★★★ Classic	Hamish	Mon 26th Mar 2018
A fun traverse
	19	★★★ Judgement Day - with Michael Hallang 1 19 111m lead by Jass 2 lead by Michael Hallang 3 lead by Michael Hallang	Mixed trad 110m, 1	Arapiles		Jass	Fri 28th Dec 2018
Pesky leader decided to throw his shoe off the belay ledge before the final pitch. Add 1 grade for toe crimps.
	19	★★ The Desired - with Mati 1 19 60m 2 lead by Mati	Trad 60m	Arapiles	★★ Very Good	chou chou halperin	Sun 3rd Nov 2019
Funky cruxes and generally quite pleasant. Worthwhile for sure.

Ermagerd, high quality. Started P1 at 4pm and finished well into the dark. A memorable route.
	18	★★★ Skink - with Rob Lucking 1 12 25m 2 18 40m 3 17 42m	Trad 110m	Arapiles	★★★ Mega Classic	Mary Grace Stocker	Sun 19th May 2019
So so good! I was super surprised around the corner having not placed much in the traverse.
	18	★★ Voodoo 1 18 65m 2 14 3 16	Trad 65m	Arapiles	★★★ Classic	Maxwell Cullen	Mon 14th Oct 2019
Fabulous route! The shrubby second pitch shouldn't deter anyone because pitch one and three are superb.
	18	★★★ Skink - with Byron Ebenestelli 1 12 25m 2 12 20m 3 18 20m 4 17 42m	Trad 110m	Arapiles		Jackson	Tue 30th Mar 2021

Mega exposed traversing across and stepping up and around the corner to the belay for the last pitch. Plenty of pro to be found.
	18	★★★ Skink 1 12 25m 2 18 40m 3 17 42m	Trad 110m	Arapiles		Lewis Ciddor	Thu 24th Jun 2021
Classic line!
	18	★★ Voodoo (Voodoo P1) 1 18 65m	Trad 65m	Arapiles	★★★ Classic	Matt Langley	Thu 21st Apr 2022
Full value pitch!
	18	★★★ Skink - with Tye 1 12 40m lead by Tye 2 18 25m lead by Hamish 3 17 42m lead by Hamish	Trad 110m	Arapiles	★★ Very Good	Hamish	Sat 30th Apr 2022
Tye led the first 2 pitches of Watchtower Crack in a single long pitch. Which shortens P2 of Skink for me. I led P2 and P3 of Skink. On P3 I went a bit wayward (got lost) , did a few big moves over some overhangs to get to the rappel anchor (which is ~20m R of the intended top out). To future leaders of this pitch ... Stay left after the crux move!
	18	★★★ Skink - with David Gray 1 12 45m lead by David Gray 2 18 20m lead by Luke Yerbury 3 17 40m lead by Luke Yerbury	Trad 110m	Arapiles	★★★ Mega Classic	Luke Yerbury	Sun 15th May 2022
Hooly Dooly! Done in two pitches. Very exciting climbing up the corner, loved it! Bit of a rope drag nightmare by the top, but you get that on the big jobs. Got spoilt with all the money pitches today!!
	17	★★★ Oceanoid - with carol lee 1 17 45m lead by Blue Mountains Orangutan 2 17 30m	Trad 75m	Arapiles	★★★ Mega Classic	Blue Mountains Orangutan	Tue 17th Sep 2019
Pitch one only. Weird climbing which swallowed my entire double rack of cams. I'm still not sure how I did the Crux.
	17	★★★ Oceanoid - with Brendan Heywood 1 17 45m lead by Ben Vincent 2 17 30m lead by Ben Vincent	Trad 75m	Arapiles	★★★ Mega Classic	Ben Vincent	Wed 14th Aug 2019
An amazing line. Loved the cruxy sequence on P1, and found the top out thought provoking (opted against the Walrus). Started P2 in the dark with headlamps. Traverse was cool and the chimney pretty epic. Skippy added the 3rd.
	17	★★ Vandal 1 13 18m 2 14 15m 3 17 17m	Trad 50m	Arapiles		Mary Grace Stocker	Wed 22nd May 2019
Somehow I slipped on the last pitch! Good fun though.
	17	★★★ Oceanoid 1 17 45m 2 17 30m	Trad 75m	Arapiles		Maxwell Cullen	Sat 19th Oct 2019
Awesome route. Did in the style of the first ascent, but minus the umbrella. Absolutely stellar.
	17	★★★ Oceanoid 1 17 45m 2 17 30m	Trad 75m	Arapiles	★★★ Classic	Hunter Cole	Tue 20th Apr 2021
Committing 17! Super sick
	17	★★★ Oceanoid - with Dick 1 17 45m lead by Marco de Jongh 2 17 30m lead by Dick	Trad 75m	Arapiles	★★★ Mega Classic	Marco de Jongh	Tue 18th May 2021
Amazing route! None of the pitches were gimme's, but mostly great gear throughout
	17	★★★ Oceanoid 1 17 45m 2 17 30m	Trad 75m	Arapiles	★★★ Classic	Tad Karapetian	Fri 30th Apr 2021
What a day out! Daunting at the beginning and the gap but it goes! Lead up the 2nd pitch with some of the gear pre placed.
	17	★★★ Oceanoid - with Justin Wimmer 1 17 45m lead by Nia O'Connor 2 17 30m lead by Justin Wimmer	Trad 75m	Arapiles	★★ Very Good	Nia O'Connor	Wed 20th Apr 2022
Would do the first pitch again, really enjoyed the knee bar even if there were some slightly scary parts. Would not be so keen to do second again, did not like the chimney.
	16	★★ Stentor - with Gary Lovejoy 1 2 3 16 15 m	Trad 15m	Arapiles	★★ Very Good	Sam North	Fri 29th Apr 2022
Pumpy little sucker
	17	★★★ Oceanoid 1 17 45m 2 17 30m	Trad 75m	Arapiles	★★★ Classic	Aurora Pandora	Tue 24th May 2022
Fantastic first pitch, make sure you remember to extend. Glad I didn't the second pitch, it was fun though
	17	★★★ Oceanoid - with Yaniv 1 17 45m 2 17 30m	Trad 75m	Arapiles	★★★ Classic	JakeSouthen	Fri 3rd Jun 2022
Now that is what climbing is all about!

Mega classic climb! Pitch 3 is very interesting, and I made a lot of noise while leading it
	16	★★ Saracen - with Oliver Vogel 1 16 35m lead by Oliver Vogel 2 13 12m lead by Timothy James Ottaway 3 16 33m lead by Oliver Vogel 4 13 24m lead by Timothy James Ottaway	Trad 100m	Arapiles	★★ Very Good	Timothy James Ottaway	Sun 22nd Apr 2018
Led the 2nd pitch and 4th pitch both grade 13

Last 2 pitches were brilliant! Last 2 pitches were climbed as 1 pitch on double 60m ropes.
	16	★★★ Watchtower Crack - with Foong 1 12 100m lead by Foong 2 14 lead by Foong 3 16 lead by Sam Lee 4 16 lead by Foong	Mixed trad 100m, 3	Arapiles	★★★ Mega Classic	Sam Lee	Sat 21st Jul 2018
Superb climbing -
	15	★★ Libretto - with Mark 1 15 50m 2	Trad 50m	Arapiles	★★ Very Good	Blue Mountains Orangutan	Sun 14th Oct 2018
Pumpy first pitch, hard move on the second. Good climbing.
	16	★★ Men in Tights - with Mitch 1 11 18m lead by Al Brad 2 16 27m lead by Mitch	Trad 45m	Arapiles	★★★ Classic	Al Brad	Mon 5th Nov 2018
Mitch Created a variant finish to Agamemnon by finishing up the Electra Pinnacle. Pro was ok, walked around to descend off Agamemnon bolts. A great finish to an already classic climb.
	16	★★★ Watchtower Crack - with ScoFlo 1 12 100m lead by ScoFlo 2 14 lead by Al Brad 3 16 lead by ScoFlo 4 16 lead by Al Brad	Mixed trad 100m, 3	Arapiles	★★★ Mega Classic	Al Brad	Sun 11th Nov 2018
Epic climb up such a classic. Both the 3rd & 4th pitch had some epic moves. Didn't get much layback in but did get some sweet shoulder jams and knee and elbow bars in. Did get the number 5 cam stuck up there but the Rock Pirate went and retrieved it.
	16	★★★ Watchtower Crack - with Jake Anderson, Rod de Paiva, Sammy Sparrow 1 16 100m lead by Dan Brown 2 lead by Jake Anderson 3 lead by Dan Brown 4 lead by Jake Anderson	Mixed trad 100m, 3	Arapiles	★★★ Mega Classic	Dan Brown	Sat 13th Apr 2019

Wanted to work my way up to this all week, the crack was incredible stuff and was constantly swapping between offwidthing, face climbing and laybacking. Got a bit muddled up on the last pitch and fell on some gear but great regardless!
	16	★★★ Watchtower Crack - with will teagle 1 12 25m 2 14 20m 3 16 18m 4 16 32m	Mixed trad 95m, 3	Arapiles	★★★ Classic	Mary Grace Stocker	Sat 1st Jun 2019
Will led first pitch. I led the rest in two.

Rapped off at the end of the second pitch after threatening rain clouds and a sprinkling of rain.
	16	★★ Yo Yo 1 16 90m 2 3 4	Trad 90m	Arapiles	★★ Very Good	Hamish Donohoe	Mon 18th Nov 2019

This is worth all the stars. Fantastic climbing at the grade. Got greedy and blew a foot on the crux of the fourth pitch, directional was a bit funky and ended up finishing on Gollum. Will definitely return.
	16	★★★ Watchtower Crack - with Dick 1 12 25m lead by Marco de Jongh 2 14 20m lead by Dick 3 16 18m lead by Marco de Jongh 4 16 32m lead by Dick	Mixed trad 95m, 3	Arapiles		Marco de Jongh	Tue 22nd Dec 2020
Started off by opening a new "direct start" by climbing the disgusting looking crack instead of the slab on P1, proposed vegetation grade: 4. Had a bit of a moment on pitch #3 when I bumped off a bolt plate with my knee followed by my questionably placed "maybe would hold body weight" cam blew out too when trying to downclimb to the carot.
	16	★★★ Watchtower Crack - with Stephen Carter 1 12 25m lead by Nicole C 2 14 20m lead by Nicole C 3 16 18m lead by Stephen Carter 4 16 32m lead by Stephen Carter	Mixed trad 95m, 3	Arapiles	★★★ Mega Classic	Nicole C	Sun 31st Jan 2021
Morning shade a must. Bring Big John Silver. Lots of cams. Need 2 bolt plates for moves on pitch 3. I lead the start, nice slab then a meandering corner with an interesting steep move. Steve bossed the last two pitches. Tricky roof squeeze traverse so preferably no backpacks. Wave to Mr Chicken. Last pitch started fun, then crux (big silver) was scary. Fist jam is life. Jammed left foot into the crack as well. Thrutchy. Was at my absolute limit. Spare a thought for your second and place a piece in the leftmost crack after the crux (large cam?). I didn't like thinking about that massive swing if I fell on the crux. I wished I had chalk.
	16	★★ Libretto - with Byron Ebenestelli 1 16 50m 2	Trad 50m	Arapiles	★★ Very Good	Jackson	Tue 9th Mar 2021
first pitch was one of my favs so far, 2nd was cool and techy
	16	★★★ Watchtower Crack - with Hayden L 1 12 25m 2 14 20m 3 16 18m 4 16 32m	Mixed trad 95m, 3	Arapiles	★★★ Mega Classic	Mac Labine-Romain	Fri 19th Mar 2021
linked 1+2, which was pretty sane. the #5 was fairly essential to make P3 sane, and the #6 was nice to have for P4, although you could make do without and just have a slightly spicier time. absolutely glorious upper pitches
	16	★★★ Watchtower Crack - with FUJ, Claudine Cheah 1 12 25m lead by Zorba Parer 2 14 20m 3 16 18m lead by Zorba Parer 4 16 32m	Mixed trad 95m, 3	Arapiles	★★★ Mega Classic	Zorba Parer	Tue 30th Mar 2021
Excellent climb, airy with spice. First crux on the third was intense, and then fell seconding the 4th pitch at the crux. Dropped kroma and biner...recovered both on first belay ledge.
	16	★★★ Watchtower Crack - with Kyle Addy 1 12 25m lead by Genevieve Forshaw 2 14 20m lead by Genevieve Forshaw 3 16 18m lead by Kyle Addy 4 16 32m lead by Genevieve Forshaw	Mixed trad 95m, 3	Arapiles	★★★ Mega Classic	Genevieve Forshaw	Wed 7th Apr 2021
What an absolute mega-classic! Favourite climb of the trip. Linked pitches 1 and 2. Walked a #6 cam up the fourth pitch, whilst further stitching it up with other slightly smaller gear. Definitely aided the mental game on perfectly sane moves that felt rather spicy at the time.
	16	★★★ Watchtower Crack - with Jake Delaney 1 12 25m lead by Tom Bes 2 14 20m lead by Jake Delaney 3 16 18m lead by Tom Bes 4 16 32m lead by Jake Delaney	Mixed trad 95m, 3	Arapiles	★★★ Classic	Tom Bes	Wed 22nd Dec 2021
This would be terrifying without my ridiculously big gear. my #5, #6 and #7 (merlin #8) were vital on pitches 3 and 4. also the belay of pitch 1. being able to bump the big cams up the wide roofs and laybacks was a dream.
	16	★★★ Watchtower Crack - with Tom Bes 1 12 25m lead by Tom Bes 2 14 20m lead by Jake Delaney 3 16 18m lead by Tom Bes 4 16 32m lead by Jake Delaney	Mixed trad 95m, 3	Arapiles		Jake Delaney	Fri 10th Dec 2021
weirdly the most straight forward grade of the weekend. big gear to the rescue. I love the climbs that chill out at the top so i can just enjoy life and the view and top out thinking i love climbing rather than swearing off it for life. the word 'soaring' is certainly not used lightly

Rapped back down to the second belay to do the top two pitches of this. Mega.

Really not what I was expecting but oh wow, pitch 3 and 4 were pretty damn exciting! Glad I had a #5 and a #6 for peace of mind. What an amazing day out!
	16	★★★ Watchtower Crack - with Yim 1 12 25m lead by Luke Illeniram 2 14 20m lead by Luke Illeniram 3 16 18m lead by Luke Illeniram 4 16 32m lead by Luke Illeniram	Mixed trad 95m, 3	Arapiles	★★★ Mega Classic	Luke Illeniram	Tue 20th Sep 2022
Led the first two pitches with Yim coming to the rescue for the 3rd and 4th. The man was intent to do the route sans bolts, and only one large cam, so it was a little interesting doing those same moves seconding! And unreal climb. Just brilliant. Interesting moves, unique positions, and exposure. Mega classic.

Did Driftwood start 60m, then middle pitch 45 m, then straight out through roof ( 17) finish which I think is Oedipus.

Awesome first two pitches, real nice exposure on P2. These would have to be a couple of my favorite belay ledges at Arapiles too (for comfort at least). Looking forward to coming back for P3 of Lamplighter sometime.

Shame about the final pitch, but really fun otherwise. Worth it for pitches 2 and 3 with some nice airy exposure.

Bailed off the route the night before due to a severe underestimation of the time and effort required for sport climbers to get up a chimney. Returned the following morning to thrutch up it in the blazing sun and retrieve the gear. All up a very rewarding and fatiguing experience. 2nd pitch is lovely

Incredible stuff, second pitch is the most exposure I think I've every had. Third pitch is fiddly with the roof

Got lost leading the second pitch and made my own route (mega rope drag!) was all worth it for the end of the third pitch, cool bottomless chimney/roof

A huge adventure. I could not believe the 3rd pitch when I saw it. I was supposed to lead it but gave that task to John. I found seconding it very difficult.

Second pitch moves off big block onto face and is quite exciting with exposure.

The 2nd pitch has a very awkward move, almost like an offwidth. Plenty of pro available. Used a Hex to protect the chimney on the 3rd pitch

I created the worst rope drag in history on the first pitch and could barely pull myself upwards haha. I cried. I seconded the 2nd pitch and lead the 3rd pitch which made me feel better.

Nice commiting but well-protected moves. I would not say that pitch 1 is grade 10. its a bit more.

An amazing climb and definitely a mega classic. It had a great mixture of adventurous climbing culminating in the last roof. Zi led the first and I was going to lead both the second and third pitches but when I got to the cave I brought her up as I thought she would like to watch me climb the roof. Zi was keen to lead it so we decided to swap leads instead. Technically we did it in 4 pitches. Bring a 70m rope or doubles as the recommended single rope descent was not worth the hassle and an easier way to get down would have been to use the rap anchors at the top lamplighter.

When I heard the last pitch was a chimney I can't say I was expecting to have to traverse through a chimney which doubled as the "roof" of a little cave and not just go up! Second pitch added a bit of exposure into the mix. What an adventurey line.

Nice second pitch lead. Doesn't feel too exposed as long as you don't look down! Funky 3rd pitch

Silly slip on first attempt of the tricky bulge. Pitch 3 starts out okay, but turns to moss for the last half.
