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.
	24 25	★★ Manic Depressive - with Keiran	Sport 20m, 7	Bundaleer Area	★★ Very Good	Mon 4th Dec 2017
Jumped so 24. Great sustained but intuitive climbing.
	24	★ Blanketty Blank Direct Finish - with Brett Williams	Trad 28m	Bundaleer Area	★ Good	Fri 22nd Dec 2017
Nice little slab moves up there.
	24	★★ Arch Enema	Mixed trad 17m, 5	Summerday Valley	★★ Very Good	Mon 2nd Apr 2018
It's a goodun! Techy down low and then that hanus finish lol.
	23	★★★ Redex Irlont Sudano - with Kellie	Sport 30m, 9	Werribee Gorge	★★★ Classic	Sun 12th Nov 2017
Brilliant tech-face...exactly my style.
	23	★★★ Sandinista	Trad 40m	Hollow Mountain (N & NE side of Mt. Stapylton)	★★★ Mega Classic	Thu 6th Sep 2018
Brilliant from start to finish. Varied climbing, loved the crux. Way more jugs than I expected!
	23	★ Amnesia Middle Finish - with Matt	Sport 25m, 8	Hollow Mountain (N & NE side of Mt. Stapylton)	Average	Wed 10th Oct 2018
Agree with all the other comments. The hardest section was def the part shared with the 21. Unless you're supposed to stay on the left of the round arete...?
	23	★★★ Birdman of Alcatraz - with claire	Trad 30m	Arapiles	★★★ Mega Classic	Sun 29th Sep 2019
Brilliant.

	22	★★ Silvertop - with adam demmert	Sport 20m, 6	Halls Gap Area	★★ Very Good	Wed 31st Oct 2018
	22	★★ Jack Russell (Jack Russel)	Mixed trad 20m, 1	Mt Alexander	★★ Very Good	Sat 4th May 2019
22 off-width onsite!! - I'm pretty proud of myself for this one. On the flip side I also involuntarily made some sort of whimpering sound I've never made or heard before - not particularly proud of that.
	22	★★★ Squeakeasy - with adam demmert	Trad 30m	Arapiles	★★★ Mega Classic	Wed 15th May 2019
Adam insisted I close my eyes and cover them whilst lowering off Quisling Direct for the true onsite. Good advice. Incredible sustained climbing...beautiful sequences and good gear with a brilliant crux where it hurts...a pleasure to OS.
	22	★★★ Dagon's Temple	Mixed trad 25m, 2	Bundaleer Area	★★★ Mega Classic	Tue 22nd Oct 2019
Incredible varied climbing. Got thrutchy in the offwidth. Loved it all. Stiff if not 23.
	21	★★ Snatch and Grab - with Kellie	Sport 14m, 6	Werribee Gorge	★★ Very Good	Sun 12th Nov 2017
The guide said 20...I thought it felt a bit stiff for that. Good climbing.
	21	★★★ Boogie 'til You Puke - with Matt	Sport 25m, 6	Camels Hump	★★★ Classic	Mon 27th Nov 2017
	21	★★ Slug’s Honour (Slut's Honour) - with Kellie	Sport 17m, 6	Camels Hump	★ Good	Sun 31st Dec 2017

	21	★ Holy Human Fly - with lewis, Josephine Bailey	Sport 14m, 6	NE Mt Zero Range	★★ Very Good	Thu 15th Mar 2018
	21	★★ The Wraith	Trad 35m	Arapiles	★★★ Classic	Mon 19th Mar 2018
Great. Gear small but good in a few key places but overall, pretty solid.
	21	★ Unprofessional Conduct	Trad 20m	Camels Hump	★ Good	Sun 28th Oct 2018
	21 21 R	★★★ Auto Da Fe - with Callum	Trad 90m	Arapiles	★★ Very Good	Fri 16th Nov 2018
...Did step off the direct start once though before latching it properly. Wouldn't say R-rated - Good gear all the way but some bits quite intricate / require a bit of creativity. Take RPs/IMPs. Did it in 2 pitches.
	21	★★ World Party Pitch 1 - with Lucas C, Mitch, Magdalena de la Torre	Trad 20m	Mt Stapylton Amphitheatre	Don't Bother	Wed 24th Apr 2019
Stiff pull onto slab with ledge fall potential followed by three mantles....not my cup of tea.
	21	★★★ Chinese Algebra - with Mitch	Trad 48m	Arapiles	★★★ Classic	Thu 25th Apr 2019
Great climbing, great gear.
	21	★★ Little Bo Peep	Sport 10m, 3	Mt Alexander	★★ Very Good	Sat 4th May 2019
Sweet climbing, wish it was longer but wishing gets you nowhere.
	21	★★ No Future	Trad 30m	Arapiles	★★ Very Good	Fri 24th May 2019
Gear's a bit funny - loads of it but rarely textbook or very confidence inspiring in isolation. Ended up putting 2-piece clusters at every clip until after the crux to hedge my bets.
	21	★ Osmond Terrace - with Claudio Trefny	Mixed trad 25m, 2	Arapiles	★★ Very Good	Thu 19th Sep 2019
Bold start. Great clinbing.
	20	★★ Warlock - with Matt	Mixed trad 35m, 3	Camels Hump	★ Good	Tue 28th Nov 2017
	20	★ State of Shock - with Matt	Mixed trad 25m, 3	Camels Hump	★ Good	Tue 28th Nov 2017
	20	★★★ Blimp - with Keiran	Mixed trad 25m, 1	Bundaleer Area	★★★ Mega Classic	Mon 4th Dec 2017
	20	★★ Snow Flurries - with Kieran	Mixed trad 64m, 9	Asses Ears Area	★★★ Classic	Tue 5th Dec 2017
Led P2. Pumper.
	20	★★ Blanketty Blank - with Brett Williams	Trad 28m	Bundaleer Area	★ Good	Thu 21st Dec 2017
Into Direct version.
	20	★★ Catwoman - with lewis, Josephine Bailey	Sport 15m, 5	NE Mt Zero Range	★★ Very Good	Thu 15th Mar 2018
	20	★★★ Take Five - with Kieran 1 20 135m lead by Ian.Grabowski 2 19 lead by Kieran 3 17 lead by Ian.Grabowski	Trad 140m	Arapiles	★★★ Mega Classic	Fri 7th Sep 2018
Def 'R' rated. I got more than I bargained for on this one - pretty full-on lead. I only took 4 micro cams (x4/c3s) so I couldn't double down the few spots you could get average pro in the first 18ish metres. You'd want to have a few slab grades in hand and a v.cool head for this. Incredible climbing though - glad I've done it - wouldn't lead P1 again.
	20	★ Countdown to Ecstasy - with Brett Williams, Sarah	Sport 14m, 3	The You Yangs	Average	Thu 27th Sep 2018
	20	★★ Fly Lichen Eagle - with Thomas	Trad 90m	Arapiles	★★ Very Good	Thu 28th Mar 2019
Led P2. Both pitches good value but yeah, P2 is the money...and don't cheat the finale!
	20	★★ Wasp	Trad 30m	Arapiles	★★★ Classic	Fri 26th Apr 2019
Fantastic all the way.
	20	★★★ Wizard of lce	Trad 35m	Arapiles	★★★ Mega Classic	Tue 14th May 2019
What a beauty.
	20	★ Mind Games - with Tim	Trad 25m	Arapiles	★ Good	Tue 17th Sep 2019
Bit of a one move wonder.
	20	★ Yellow Cake	Sport 20m	Flat Rock	★ Good	Tue 25th Feb 2020
	19 19 R	★★ Wall of the Afternoon Sun	Trad 140m	Arapiles	★★ Very Good	Mon 6th Nov 2017
Led P1+3. Finished up last pitch of Take Five making it 19,17,17,17.
	19	★★★ Wirilda - with kieran	Mixed trad 70m, 1	Asses Ears Area	★★★ Classic	Tue 5th Dec 2017
Bit of an adventure this with no chalk to mark the way. Led both pitches.
	19	★ Waterfall Bogans	Sport 18m, 7	Pohlner Track & Smith's Rd Area	★ Good	Mon 29th Jan 2018
	19	★★★ Morfydd	Trad 30m	Arapiles	★★★ Classic	Fri 6th Apr 2018
	V1	★ One Flash and You're Ash - with Kellie Egan	Boulder 7m	Mt Stapylton Amphitheatre	★ Good	Sat 22nd Sep 2018
	V1	★★ Galaxy Vivisection - with Kellie Egan	Boulder 6m	Mt Stapylton Amphitheatre	★★ Very Good	Sat 22nd Sep 2018
	19	★ Octavia - with Brett Williams	Trad 30m	Werribee Gorge	★★ Very Good	Sun 10th Mar 2019
Very traddy and consequently, brilliant. Loved it. Few stiff sections, bit of crusty rock, vibrating blocks, great jamming of all sizes, some exposure and long enough to get right into it. Engaging throughout. Take a no.4 or two and don't leave your micro-cams behind like a did.
	19	★★ Firedance	Trad 15m	Arapiles	★ Good	Sat 23rd Mar 2019
	19	★★★ Judgement Day - with Jesse, Jo	Mixed trad 67m, 1	Arapiles	★★ Very Good	Fri 29th Mar 2019
Led P2. A decent journey. BD 2/3 would have been good for the belay end of P2.
	19	★★★ Lemmington - with Tom	Trad 30m	Arapiles	★★ Very Good	Tue 2nd Apr 2019
Great climbing, awkward anchor.
	19	★★ The Desired	Trad 60m	Arapiles	★★ Very Good	Fri 5th Apr 2019
	18	★★★ Eurydice	Mixed trad 65m, 2	Arapiles	★★★ Mega Classic	Tue 7th Nov 2017
Total Mega Classic.
	18	Size Matters - with Brett Williams	Sport 8m, 3	Camels Hump	Average	Tue 2nd Jan 2018
	18	★ Point Perpetrator	Sport 17m, 6	Pohlner Track & Smith's Rd Area	★ Good	Mon 29th Jan 2018
	18	★ MC Hammer Drill	Sport 16m, 5	Hollow Mountain (N & NE side of Mt. Stapylton)		Tue 30th Jan 2018
	18	★★ I'm A Little Dinosaur - with LukadaCosta	Trad 25m	Arapiles	★★ Very Good	Mon 13th Aug 2018
	18	★★★ Skink - with kieran	Trad 110m	Arapiles	★★ Very Good	Fri 7th Sep 2018
I got odds. All clean.
	18 18 R	★★ XI	Trad 30m	Arapiles	★★ Very Good	Sat 23rd Mar 2019
Found the gear adequate..small cams were useful.
	18	★★ Voodoo	Trad 65m	Arapiles	★ Good	Fri 26th Apr 2019
Good 1st and 3rd...shabby middle pitch detracts from overall quality.
	18	★★ Golden Fleece - with Tim	Trad 35m	Arapiles	★★ Very Good	Tue 17th Sep 2019
	17	★★ Dirge	Trad 85m	Arapiles	★★ Very Good	Thu 29th Dec 2016
	17	★★ Poxbow - with Matt	Trad 30m	Camels Hump	★ Good	Mon 27th Nov 2017
	17	★★ Gerontian - with Keiran	Trad 46m	Bundaleer Area	★★ Very Good	Mon 4th Dec 2017
Linked P1+2 - not advised if you want to stay safe. 2nded p3.
	17	★★ The Mice Were Furious - with Kieran	Mixed trad 130m, 3	The Cathedral Range	★★ Very Good	Fri 16th Feb 2018
	17	★★ Xanthene - with Kieran	Mixed trad 94m, 4	The Cathedral Range	★ Good	Fri 16th Feb 2018
Hard crux...not 17. Fall could see your fingers in bad shape on that move so think carefully about gear and appropriate instruction to your belayer.
	17	★★ Overkill - with Lewis	Trad 23m	Summerday Valley	★ Good	Wed 14th Mar 2018
Instr.
	17	★★ Veni Vidi Vici - with josie	Trad 21m	Werribee Gorge	★ Good	Fri 31st Aug 2018
Good jamming. Can get by with single rack of cams nos. 1-4 if you're a bit creative and not scared of a small runout. Take a few med wires for top if doing this way. If you have 'em though double up 2-4.
	18	★★★ Oceanoid 1 18 45 2	Trad 45m	Arapiles	★★★ Classic	Sun 28th Apr 2019
Really cool climbing. Sustained interest the whole way.
	17 17 R	★★ Oedipus Rex	Trad 150m	Arapiles	★★ Very Good	Tue 21st May 2019
	16	★★★ Watchtower Crack 1 lead by Seph 2 lead by Me 3 lead by Seph 4 lead by Me	Mixed trad 95m, 3	Arapiles	★★★ Mega Classic	Wed 28th Dec 2016
Fantastic line. A must-do.
	16	★★ Wishful Thinking - with Matt	Mixed trad 21m, 1	Camels Hump	★ Good	Mon 27th Nov 2017
	16	★★★ Basilisk Direct Finish - with Brett Williams	Trad 50m	Bundaleer Area	★★★ Mega Classic	Fri 22nd Dec 2017
In 1 mega pitch on halves. Sooooo good. Best route of the day for sure.
	16	★ Hadrian	Trad 12m	Werribee Gorge	Average	Thu 4th Jan 2018
	16	★★ The Suburbs	Sport 15m, 6	Hollow Mountain (N & NE side of Mt. Stapylton)		Tue 30th Jan 2018
	16	★ Xanthene Direct - with Kieran	Mixed trad 45m, 1	The Cathedral Range	★ Good	Fri 16th Feb 2018
	16	★ Big Ears - with Josie	Trad 14m	Werribee Gorge	★ Good	Fri 31st Aug 2018
	16	★ The Downward Spiral - with Tim	Sport 18m, 5	Camels Hump	★ Good	Thu 25th Oct 2018
	16 16 R	★★★ Brolga - with LukadaCosta	Trad 90m	Arapiles	★★★ Classic	Sun 24th Mar 2019
Led p2. Loads of gear for the taking on all pitches. Micro cams were helpful on route. Regular rack of cams is good for belays.
	16	★ Nuclear Novice	Sport 15m, 5	Flat Rock	★ Good	Wed 12th Feb 2020
	15	★★★ Kaiser - Resignation	Trad 99m	Arapiles	★★★ Mega Classic	Tue 7th Nov 2017
	15	★★ Sundance	Trad 140m	Arapiles	★★ Very Good	Sun 5th Nov 2017
	V0	★ Something's Burning - with Kellie Egan	Boulder 6m	Mt Stapylton Amphitheatre	★ Good	Sat 22nd Sep 2018
	15	★★ Toccata - with Tom	Trad 50m	Arapiles	★★ Very Good	Tue 2nd Apr 2019
P1 - lead. P2 - second. Guidebook description on the money.
	14	★★ D Minor	Trad 35m	Arapiles	★★ Very Good	Thu 29th Dec 2016
Led both pitches. Lovely juggy climbing but I second a few other commenters - a serious lead if 14 is your top-end as the ledge falls could be bad.
	14	★★ Megalomaniac	Trad 28m	Arapiles	★★ Very Good	Sat 4th Nov 2017
	14	★ Resignation-Kaiser	Trad 110m	Arapiles	★ Good	Sun 5th Nov 2017
	14	★★ Jerry-Pot Direct - with Kieran	Trad 120m	The Cathedral Range	★ Good	Fri 16th Feb 2018
	14	★★★ Lamplighter	Trad 78m	Arapiles	★★★ Classic	Mon 19th Mar 2018
Guiding a mate. Great little adventure route - gym climbers will love P3
	14	★★ Tremulo	Trad 25m	Arapiles	★★ Very Good	Sun 12th Aug 2018
Guiding.
	14 14 R	★★ Hot Flap - with Kieran	Mixed trad 170m, 3	Arapiles	★★ Very Good	Sat 8th Sep 2018
Max Vert Day - route 4. P1 O/S, P2+3 linked - 2nd clean, P4+5 simul climbed O/S.
	14	★★ Salamander - with Kieran	Trad 120m	Arapiles	★★★ Mega Classic	Sat 8th Sep 2018
Max Vert Day - route 6. P1+2+3 linked - 2nd clean, P4+5 linked - onsite.
	13	★★★ Muldoon - with Lewis	Trad 42m	Arapiles	★★★ Classic	Sun 18th Mar 2018
Guiding a mate.
	12	★★★ Bard	Trad 120m	Arapiles	★★★ Mega Classic	Fri 30th Dec 2016
What the hell. That traverse is something else haha. Messed things up by not reading the route description and ended up linking P2+P3 crux together with horrendous rope drag before it pulled me to a stop at bottom of P3 chimney. Not good. Seph linked chimney and P4. So we did it in 4 pitches.
	12	★ One Hump or Two - with Kellie	Trad 75m	Camels Hump	Average	Sun 31st Dec 2017
Led all pitches.
	12	★★ Panzer - with Kieran	Trad 95m	Arapiles	★★ Very Good	Sat 8th Sep 2018
Max Vert Day - route 7. P1- 2nd clean. P2+3 linked - onsite.
	11	★★ Piccolo	Trad 33m	Arapiles	★★★ Classic	Thu 29th Dec 2016
As one. Advise to over protect your 2nd early if they're not climbing harder to stop potential swings either side should they fall. Excellent climbing.
	11	★ Transylvania	Mixed trad 60m, 1	Arapiles	Don't Bother	Wed 28th Dec 2016
Led both pitches. Disappointing but protected from wind. Pillars of Hercules ledge very cool though so worth seeing.
