19 Bubonic Man - with Matt Ross Mixed trad 18m, 4 Very Good
Hold broke and fell but I'm still calling it a flash ...

 
Sat 19th May 2012 - Arapiles
Atridae Muldoon Area
13 Muldoon Trad 42m Mega Classic
Really fun climb with plenty of variety, heaps of exposure and incredible jugs. Not sure of its 13 rating ... I'd think more 14-15.

Atridae Agamemnon Area
10 Agamemnon Trad 40m Very Good
Fun climbing but a little disappointing given all the hype. Muldoon rates three stars but I'd only give this one.

19 Tannin Trad 35m Mega Classic
Most satisfying climb I've ever done ... At sunset on the last day of our trip! Would love to have called this an onsight but JM did tell me what pro to place under the roof and that did help a bit.

The Watchtower Faces Pinnacle Face Area Below Tiptoe Ridge
18 Free Beer Trad 30m Very Good
Fun physical climbing on satisfying holds. Good protection but hard to build a belay that didn't run over a sharpish edge.

16 16 R Brolga Trad 90m Classic
Very intimidating and seemed quite hard for the grade ... But this was probably more psychological than anything. Sure wish I had a triple rack of micro cams.

17 Dirge Trad 85m Classic
I think this climb is underrated ... far more satisfying in my estimation than Tocatta which gets two stars.

 
14 15 Toccata Trad 50m Good
I believe this is a 15

17 16 Libretto Trad 50m Very Good
Great route and a nice way to warm up for the trip ahead. The crux of pitch 2 does remind you of how glassy the Arapiles rock can be though! Not sure why the crux pitch is 16 and the grade is 17 though

19 Chubba Chips Mods Mixed trad 20m, 5 Classic
Fantastic climb - tough dyno to start - interesting moves throughout - hard 19 if you're 5'8"
