A must do.
	17	★★ Absolute Alcohol	Mixed trad 23m, 1	Onkaparinga	★ Good	Phil Davis	Sun 30th Oct 2005
Surprinsgly better than it looks!!! Unfortunately on my first attempt I got totally spanked and took a 'bad' fall - just shook me up, went in for the redpoint and have never freaked out so bad climbing!!! It really did my head in - I ended up taking a rest after the crux then boosted the mantel and finished the climb - very very dissapointing ... then we were benighted and still had to retrieve gear - a bit of fun srt and we were off by 9.30pm!!!! Foooork!

	15	★★ Absolute Alcohol RHV	Mixed trad 23m, 1	Onkaparinga	Average	Paul Badenoch	Wed 1st Dec 1999
Steep but nice. The blade is solid enough (I wouldn't be here if it wasn't).

A poor cousin, but worthwhile nonetheless.
	15	★ Ouzo	Trad 22m	Onkaparinga	★★ Very Good	Paul Badenoch	Mon 1st Jul 2002
Good moves on good rock (except at the top).
	15	★ Ouzo	Trad 22m	Onkaparinga	★★ Very Good	Paul Badenoch	Wed 1st Jul 1998
Hangin' with Col Reece that day I believe.
	15	★ Cherry B	Trad 25m	Onkaparinga	Average	Paul Badenoch	Fri 1st Dec 2000
A fun pull through the overhang.
	15	★ Mike and the Mechanics	Trad 28m	Onkaparinga	Average	Paul Badenoch	Fri 1st Dec 2000
An excellent solo. A willing start then pleasantly onwards.
	15	★ Ouzo	Trad 22m	Onkaparinga		Adam Clay	Sun 13th Jun 2004
Not bad, don't bother leading unless you've got really small gear, i saw nothing on the way up!
	15	★ Cherry B - with Daniel Toone	Trad 25m	Onkaparinga	★ Good	Martin Cummins	Sat 5th Dec 2015
Just had to lead it. Good pro, no dramas.

Last climb for the morning. Started in the dark, finished by 0830, before the heat hit.

	15	★ Ouzo - with Ross Paynter	Trad 22m	Onkaparinga	★★ Very Good	Callum Brett	Sat 11th Feb 2023
pro is definitely there, but it's shallow and requires some trust! super engaging and more than a little bold
	15	★ Ouzo - with Callum Brett, Mana	Trad 22m	Onkaparinga	★ Good	Ross Paynter	Sat 11th Feb 2023
Upon closer inspection, this was not in fact the grade 12 Sauterne I thought I was on. Ended up onsighting a traverse line as I was skeptical on the pro above my second piece. Bailed right past the piton and ended up Absolute Alcohol RHV. Glad I did as I did not have the small wires needed for this proper. Will come back for the proper send of this.

One of the Adelaide Hills' best.

This is nice on top rope, but a mega classic for the lead!!!
	14	★ Ruthless People	Trad 27m	Onkaparinga	★ Good	Paul Badenoch	Fri 1st Dec 2000
The high traverse is exposed but not tricky.
	14	★★ Bacchus	Trad 23m	Onkaparinga	★★★ Mega Classic	Thomas Boehm	Sat 15th Jun 2013
First trad lead ..stoked! Super fun climb, wet from seepage in places but still great.
	14	★★ Bacchus - with Mick Starkey	Trad 23m	Onkaparinga	★★ Very Good	Anton Steketee	Sat 16th May 2015
Spur of the moment decision to red-point this! Didn't take enough small gear for after the crux so ran it out more than recommended ...
	14	★★ Bacchus - with Daniel Toone	Trad 23m	Onkaparinga	★★★ Classic	Martin Cummins	Sat 5th Dec 2015
Donned the head torch for a nice, early, cool start. Great fun.

Solid climbing with a lot of delicious stems. All of a sudden there is a move or two and the pro was less obvious. Glad there was a stuck cam to clip. Collected it on the way down.
