The Pharos and Surrounds The Pharos Back Wall | ||||||
16 15 | ★ Lady Dihedral | 78m | ★ Good | |||
Transfer into the corner makes the heart pump a little... but without the traffic the lichen dominates making for a cautious ascent when wet

Northern Group Echo Crag | ||||||
19 | ★★ Touch-Type | 25m, 2 | ★★★ Classic | |||
Awesome pitch! So well worth it to get up there. Very much like a Bluey's face climb.
|

Tue 12th Apr 2011 - Arapiles | ||||||
Northern Group Kachoong Area | ||||||
18 | ★★ Golden Echo | 25m | ★★★ Classic | |||
Fantastic climb with beautiful moves across wall and out right above the Kachoong roof. Well worth it if you're standing on photo ledge.

Bard Buttress | ||||||
17 17 R | ★★ Checkmate | 85m | ★★★ Mega Classic | |||
Absolutely stunning position on the third pitch. Probably one of the best grade 17 pitches at Araps. Second pitch has instant exposure too.

Can't believe I hadn't done it yet. MUCH better than Muldoon and should get a heap more traffic than it does. Take slings for chicken heads.

Bluffs Flinders Lane Area | ||||||
13 | ★ Ivan | 14m | ★★ Very Good | |||
Quite the contortionists climb. If you figure out what you need to do with your body the grade diminishes to its supposed grade 13...hmm 15?

West of the access track | ||||||
20 | ★★★ Devils Dihedral | 45m | ★★★ Mega Classic | |||
Absolutely brilliant climbing, that never relents in both class or its grade. There are a few rests but it still tests your endurance. I thought I wasn't up for it, but figured what the hell.... ended up cruising it.... made me feel GOOD!!
|

Sun 17th Jul 2005 - Frog Buttress | ||||||
West of the access track | ||||||
16 | ★★★ Satan's Smokestack | 40m | ★★ Very Good | |||
Very thrutchy but it seems to grow on you the further you go. The move outside the wide crack down low is a bit hairy. Worth doing but I wouldn't rave about it.
|
||||||
20 | ★★ Footloose and Falling Free | 11m | ★★★ Classic | |||
Brilliant pumpy climbing with decent pro. Aliens are useful in the thin parallel crack through the crux.
|
||||||
19 | ★★ Hollywood Rattlesnake | 18m | ★★ Very Good | |||
Really very nice. Plenty of good gear and did the whole climb with only wires and one hex. Well worth the effort.
|

21 | ★★ Warlock DS | 26m | ★★ Very Good | |||
I reckon it's 20. Difficult, but not 21.
|
||||||
17 16 | ★★ Micron | 20m | ★★ Very Good | |||
Great climb, but not worth three stars. The start is a grovel and the great moves only last 10m. Worth doing though. Funny I haven't done it already.
|
||||||
18 | ★★ Warlock | 26m | ★★ Very Good | |||
A great line and I reckon only worthy if it's done direct. Why would you climb a great line by using the start of another climb? Gotta be done direct and I reckon solid 20 start.

15 | Pop-up Toaster | 6m | Don't Bother | |||
Only reason we did this was to fill in the remainder of the day after being on EP. Fairly crappy and a worthless top out. Rap off the big tree above to the right.

Very nice, airy finish to SITC, although I climbed a new variant start on the far left arete to gain Big Top.

West of the access track | ||||||
19 18 | ★★★ Plume | 25m | ★★★ Classic | |||
Great climb. It was my first for the day and so it pumped me big time. Great climbing and great gear.
|
||||||
20 | ★★★ Piranha | 45m | ★★★ Classic | |||
An absolute stunning climb, with almost all the moves in the book. Long but has three good rests. Thinkabout it and you won't get pumped. Great gear all the way, except the bottom 7m is a bit fiddly.
|

Better than the description lets out. Direct start is more like 17 or 18.
|

Sat 7th May 2005 - Frog Buttress | ||||||
West of the access track | ||||||
20 | ★★ The Great Big Bright Green Pleasure Machine | 33m | ★★★ Classic | |||
Fantastic Climb that deserves two stars. If you can get past the initial off-width. The face and crack work above is beyond comprehension. Awesome! Do it, do it!
|
||||||
19 | ★★ Sorcerer's Apprentice | 30m | ★★★ Classic | |||
What can I say, but do it if you're climbing 20, because it's a very strenuous 19. It's well worth it though. Jamming and the occasional needed face hold.

Clemency Wall | ||||||
16 | ★★ Clemency | 190m | ★★★ Classic | |||
Lead the first three pitches with Phil, so I could see for next time where it goes and where the remaining pitches go. The third pitch is fecking awesome! Not a climb for grade 16 climbers! Should be taken very serious.

Awesome climbing with plenty of varied moves and exposure. The rising traverse out to the arete was a little unnerving but great fun.

Sun 10th Oct 2004 - Frog Buttress | ||||||
West of the access track | ||||||
18 | ★★★ Iron Mandible | 24m | ★★★ Classic | |||
Felt comfortable. Little tough in places but plenty of good feet. Save some energy for the hand jam finish. Look for face holds to mix it up a bit. Awesome climb.
|

Sun 10th Oct 2004 - Frog Buttress | ||||||
East of the access track | ||||||
18 | ★★ Borderline 29 | 15m | ★★★ Mega Classic | |||
Absolute classic climb with exposure max! Thought provoking traverse gets you ento the enjoyable finger crack with plenty of pro. Set of wires and a couple of small cams is all you need.
|
||||||
Sun 5th Sep 2004 - Frog Buttress | ||||||
West of the access track | ||||||
15 | ★ Bad Company | 20m | ★ Good | |||
Very nice corner with plenty of good face holds to keep your feet out of the crack. Need no large gear.
|
||||||
18 | ★★ Elastic RURP | 20m | ★★★ Classic | |||
Excellent climbing with a couple of sustained 4 meter sections but good rests all the way. Has all the moves and deserves another star, and soft for the grade.
|
||||||
Sat 4th Sep 2004 - Frog Buttress | ||||||
West of the access track | ||||||
17 | ★★★ Smoked Banana | 40m | ★★★ Classic | |||
Great climbing, with ample rests to negotiate the two major cruxes, one low and one through the bulge. Great gear all the way. The chockstones are bommer and the squirm chimney relents to easier squirming the higher you go.
|
||||||

East of the access track | ||||||
15 | ★ Iron Butterfly | 28m | ★★ Very Good | |||
Becoming very pumped down low unfortunately set me up for a long, endurious pumpfest on the enjoyable moves through the bulgey flake. Great pro, but I still sketched out!
|
||||||
15 | ★ Mechanical Prune | 18m | ★★ Very Good | |||
Great climb which probably deserves a star.
