Old fashioned but worthwhile.

Sensational rope drag as one pitch.
|
||||||||
12 | ★★ Ultion | 60m | Moonarie | Average | Fri 13th Apr 2001 | |||

|
||||||||

Nice climbing and great protection.

|
||||||||
10 11 | ★★ Epaminondas | 100m | North-West Mt Difficult Range | Average | Sat 17th Nov 2001 | |||
Nice, but not special.
|
||||||||
15 17 | ★★ Queen Bee | 81m | North-West Mt Difficult Range | ★ Good | Sat 16th Nov 2002 | |||

|
||||||||
13 | Rock Soff | 58m | Arapiles | ★ Good | Sat 7th Mar 2009 | |||
Nicely optional at the top.
|
||||||||

Good climbing, care needed in places.

Good start to a good climb.
|
||||||||
11 | Fireman Don't Got Convictions | 45m | Arapiles | Average | Mon 5th Oct 2009 | |||
Good rock for feet, rattly rock for hands (it's a traverse).
|
||||||||
17 | ★ Mexican Madness | 10m | Arapiles | Average | Sun 8th Mar 2009 | |||
Pumpy placing gear.
|
||||||||

A classic, except for the garden refuse.
|

Good climbing, great pro, solid at the grade.

|
||||||||

Shady
|
||||||||
21 21 R | ★★★ Auto Da Fe | 90m | Arapiles | ★★★ Mega Classic | Fri 28th Jul 2006 | |||
Has that big time feel. Found the top of P1 the crux.
|
||||||||
21 | ★ Capilano | 25m | Arapiles | ★ Good | Sun 3rd Sep 2006 | |||
Tasty. Be quick now on the horizontal.

||||||||
18 | ★★ Crooked Mile | 20m | Arapiles | ★ Good | Sat 2nd Sep 2006 | |||
Crooked.
|
||||||||

16 | ★ Stretch the Magic Dragon | 13m | Onkaparinga | Average | Tue 28th Dec 2004 | |||
The rooflet went easily enough. Well protected.
|
||||||||
14 | Day of the Jaffle | 95m | Moonarie | Average | Sat 22nd Apr 2000 | |||
Wanders a little.
|
||||||||
9 | ★★★ Arachnus | 110m | Arapiles | ★★ Very Good | Sat 18th May 2002 | |||
Seemed like a nice climb. Did it with Luke in a downpour for some "alpine training".
|
||||||||
14 | ★★ What Are Friends For? | 15m | Rawnsley Bluff | ★ Good | Sat 11th Apr 2009 | |||
The fine little crack ~2m R of the corner.
|
||||||||
12 | La Dolomite | 70m | Moonarie | Average | Sat 24th Jul 1999 | |||
Slightly awkward at a bulge.
|

On the Soloist. Damned awkward crux.
|
||||||||
13 | ★★ Rush of Blood Direct Finish | 18m | Arapiles | ★ Good | Sun 8th Mar 2009 | |||
Better pro than expected.
|
||||||||
18 | ★ Call the Next Witness Please | 15m | The Black Range | ★ Good | Sat 12th Jul 2008 | |||
Close to my coldest rock climb ever.
|
||||||||
19 | ★★ Morgul Can't | 40m | Arapiles | ★★ Very Good | Sun 3rd Sep 2006 | |||
I thought less scary as an onsight than MK.
|
||||||||

Nice moves, sometimes executed above your pro.
|

13 | ★ Ivan | 14m | Arapiles | Average | Sat 10th Jun 2000 | |||
Quite funky from memory.
|
||||||||
17 | ★★★ Sword in the Stone | 100m | North-West Mt Difficult Range | ★★★ Classic | Sat 17th Nov 2001 | |||
The roof pitches get the hype, but I think the beautiful corner might be the standout.
|
||||||||
13 14 | ★ Tarzan | 33m | Arapiles | Average | Sun 23rd Oct 2005 | |||
The crux comes early, as they say.
|
||||||||
13 | Swinging in the Rain | 20m | Raetjen's Gap | Average | Sat 5th Apr 2008 | |||
Something of an epic with hard moves and bird poo.
|
||||||||
18 | ★ The Curse | 17m | Arapiles | ★ Good | Sun 9th Nov 2008 | |||
A one-move wonder, sweet.
|
||||||||

One moment of some intensity.
|
||||||||
14 | ★★ Claw | 32m | Waitpinga | ★ Good | Fri 1st May 1998 | |||
Delicate top few metres, as for all the routes that top out here.
|
||||||||
15 | ★★ AUMC Route DF | Norton Summit | ★ Good | Mon 1st Apr 2002 | ||||
Up the steep corner. The now standard and much better finish.
|
||||||||
20 18 | ★ Whacky-Did | 20m | Arapiles | ★ Good | Sat 21st Jun 2008 | |||
The easiest 20 at Araps?
|
||||||||
12 13 | ★★ Stalagmite (Stalacmite) | 36m | Arapiles | Average | Sun 16th Mar 2008 | |||
A good choice when it's 40 degrees.
|
||||||||
14 | ★★ XXXX | 28m | Onkaparinga | ★ Good | Sun 4th Sep 2005 | |||
Ridiculous, but has the best moves from about 7 climbs.

Entertaining
|
||||||||

A nice afternoon with Des n'Dave.

A good first climb after a big night out.
|
||||||||
8 | The Black Hole of Calcutta | 110m | Moonarie | Don't Bother | Fri 6th Apr 2007 | |||

|
||||||||
6 | Arequipa | 43m | Moonarie | Don't Bother | Mon 2nd Oct 2000 | |||
Unseconded - Tania doesn't like chimneying.
|
||||||||
17 18 | ★ Thimble | 9m | Arapiles | Average | Sat 29th Apr 2006 | |||
Short 'n' sweet. Quite dry on a wet morning.
|
||||||||
16 | Milestone Madness | 100m | Morialta | Average | Sat 5th Jun 2004 | |||
FA. A ridiculous 4-pitch traverse of the white quartzitic band from Mild Stone to beyond Beehive.
|
||||||||
18 | ★★ Llareggub | 15m | Arapiles | ★ Good | Sat 21st Jul 2007 | |||

Adds a couple of moves to The Billiard Table.

9 | ★ Keyboard | 25m | Arapiles | Average | Sun 31st Aug 1997 | |||
Not memorable.
|
||||||||
16 | ★ Royal Flush | 20m | Asses Ears Area | ★ Good | Sun 24th Apr 2005 | |||
Be sure to do the cave exit if your second is portly.
|
||||||||
18 | ★★ A Good Line | 110m | Waitpinga | ★★★ Mega Classic | Thu 1st Oct 1998 | |||
Superb, and different climbing to Flight of the Gull.
|
||||||||
15 | Night of the Long Jaffles | 35m | Moonarie | Average | Fri 13th Apr 2001 | |||
Not sure I stayed on route here, one move seemed too hard.
|
||||||||
14 | Wooden Lever | 15m | Asses Ears Area | Average | Sun 24th Apr 2005 | |||
I would think 15. Poorly protected finish.
|
||||||||
13 | ★ Sexless Sue | 20m | Arapiles | Average | Sat 26th Dec 2009 | |||
No real excitement.
|
||||||||
19 | ★★★ Tannin | 35m | Arapiles | ★★ Very Good | Mon 20th May 2002 | |||

Great pro, beautiful rock, nice climbing.
|
||||||||
15 | Camilla Parker Bowles | 20m | Moonarie | Average | Sat 5th May 2007 | |||
Awkward escaping the big horizontal, better to not go in.
|
||||||||
12 | ★★★ Nervine | 120m | Moonarie | ★★★ Classic | Fri 2nd Apr 1999 | |||
Best grade 12 I know.
|
||||||||
20 | ★ Cranky Babies | 12m | Arapiles | ★ Good | Sat 11th Oct 2008 | |||
De-weighting is the crux.
|
||||||||
15 | ★★ Kaiser | 110m | Arapiles | ★★ Very Good | Sun 21st May 2000 | |||
Testing first pitch, but the second is a personal favourite.
|
||||||||
13 | ★ Tree Beard | 20m | Moonarie | Average | Sun 30th May 1999 | |||
Tough start.
|
||||||||
15 | ★★★ Hangover Layback | 90m | Moonarie | ★★ Very Good | Sat 30th Mar 2002 | |||
Great variety. The second pitch is particularly good.
|
||||||||
15 | ★ Mickey Finn | 16m | Arapiles | Average | Sun 5th Jul 2009 | |||
Something from yesteryear.
|
||||||||
13 | ★★★ Muldoon | 42m | Arapiles | ★ Good | Sat 20th May 2000 | |||
Call me out of line, but I thought it nothing special by Arapiles standards.
|
||||||||
14 | The Viragoes | 50m | Arapiles | Average | Sat 12th Dec 2009 | |||
Nice little warm-up.
|
||||||||

This is a great climb. Well protected.
|
||||||||
10 | ★★★ Syrinx | 170m | Arapiles | ★★★ Classic | Sun 17th Nov 1996 | |||
Gina was very trusting. A great day's entertainment with a touch of epic thrown in..
|
||||||||
14 | ★ Mushroom | 40m | Asses Ears Area | ★ Good | Sat 23rd Apr 2005 | |||
Nice, but shoulda gone for the DF.
|
||||||||
14 | ★ Houses in Motion | 28m | Onkaparinga | ★ Good | 2002 | |||
Certainly keeps you working.
|
||||||||
18 | ★ Johns Corner | 30m | Arapiles | ★ Good | Sun 27th Jan 2008 | |||
The bolt encouraged the Direct Finish.
|
||||||||
18 17 | ★★ Moby Dick | 15m | Arapiles | ★★★ Classic | Sat 19th Apr 2008 | |||
Plug in and go!
|
||||||||

Rock deteriorates up high, as for all routes here.
|
||||||||
10 11 | ★★★ Agamemnon | 40m | Arapiles | ★★★ Classic | Sun 31st Aug 1997 | |||
Interesting in a downpour.

OK
|

The first few metres are great fun at the grade.
|
||||||||
9 | ★★ Conifer Crack | 80m | Arapiles | ★ Good | Sat 30th Aug 1997 | |||
Got benighted on top, didn't know the descent gully, no torches, headed for the relay station, eventually made the road, back at The Pines 10.30. The original epic!
|
||||||||
18 | ★ Riddled | 18m | Arapiles | Average | Sat 9th Jun 2007 | |||
Bit run out around the arete.
|
||||||||
19 | ★★ Cheops | 20m | Arapiles | ★ Good | Sun 27th Jan 2008 | |||
18 in Selected Climbs; quite tough at that grade.
|
