I saw Moorhead/Muir '81 in the guide and prepared myself to be sandbagged - but it is fair for 23 and the gear is ok - just an exception to keep you on your toes. Crux is not as nice as the rest of the route.

Fun physical climbing on satisfying holds. Good protection but hard to build a belay that didn't run over a sharpish edge.

I don't know if I can really claim to have done this route as it's so squished in between the obvious lines I wasn't really on it at times.

In a group of three with my 8 year old son. Nice and easy, but my son found it a bit more stressful than tiptoe ridge.. Maybe I got off route..? He completed the climb and enjoyed it, watch out for rope drag on the last pitch.

	5	★★ Introductory Route - with George McLoughlin	Trad 140m	Arapiles	★★★ Classic	Nick Chappell	Sat 28th Apr 2018
First pitch lead by George. Think I might have wandered off route a couple of times, the second pitch had some steep bits of grade 2. Took the last wall off to the left as I was sharing that pitch with another party, not a good idea.

	5	★★ Introductory Route - with mother mine	Trad 140m	Arapiles	★★ Very Good	Lean Listerine	Sat 25th Dec 2021
An absolute classic Christmas day send ft. my anxious crying mother. Short roped for 5 pitches (safety first). Boldly up to the eyrie. z dragging the entire final pitch ft. a mid-route panic attack; completely off route on some questionable (definitely not grade 5) terrain. A GLORIOUS FESTIVE FAMILY OUTING ~ and a great introduction to climbing for a nervous relative. I'm thrilled to announce, that giving up is not in the blood; AND THAT THE TREE IS NOT FAR FROM THE FALLEN APPLE VICTORY OR DEATH All in all great route; suitable for all ages, 10/10 would recommend

A rainy looking day indeed but the crew had arrived and were itchy for a go. P3 quite nice in just a few spots of rain, then it started in seriously toward the finish of P4. Back to Nati for a day and a half of cabin fever and gear drying.

Really nice route. Because it’s hidden behind the annoying bush I will mention a #4 is handy. Did quite different approach to Dave due to reach at the start to get crack. Then quite sustained climbing but good stances for gear.

Very easy route, mostly a scramble. Potentially we picked a different route after pitch 2, only marginally higher than the grades for ordinary trees. Attempted to link into Aphrodite but not achievable without a down climb after the second pitch. Either way nice introductory climb to blow out the trad cobwebs.

Borderline type2 kinda afternoon but a great route! First pitch is crap and considered bailing at this point due to impending nightfall combined with a disappointing start. Pushed on and next couple of pitches were glorious with great vistas at belay and easy pro! Took the harder but seemingly more direct (it's not) route up to cave and traversed across for last push to top. Sunset turned to night and a mild panic when we realised we only had one headlamp. Split last pitch into 3 to share the light and the chimney turned out to be probably my favourite pitch of the day.
