2321 points	23	★★★ Sandinista	Trad 40m	Hollow Mountain (N & NE side of Mt. Stapylton)	★★★ Mega Classic	Sat 5th May 2018
Led on Ben's gear. Can imagine the pump being way worse on the OS. Sick bulge at the top!
2300 points	23 24	★★ Ra	Mixed trad 30m, 11	Arapiles	★★ Very Good	Mon 26th Feb 2018
Awesome route. Is a bit of a struggle to stay on route through the arete section. Would probably give both bolted pitches a 23. Great job putting such a direct line right up the front of the Pharaoh!
2175 points	21	★★ Mr Ordinary	Mixed trad 55m, 10	Moonarie	★★★ Classic	Fri 26th Apr 2019
Seconded Tom up the super techy and fun first pitch. Had a really good fight to stay on P2. Got to the chains absolutely boxed!
2173 points	21	★★ Orion	Trad 110m	Moonarie	★★ Very Good	Mon 22nd Apr 2019
Great adventure climbing through the chimneys and roofs. Crux pitch is really just a tall person boulder problem. Awesome lead by Claire on the last classy corner pitch.
2139 points	23	FA ★★ Gold Member - with Jim	Trad 35m	South-Eastern Grampians	★★ Very Good	Sun 9th Sep 2018
So happy to tick this one off. Had been keen on it since walking underneath back in January. Had a few goes 2 weeks back and got super close but blew up with pump after pulling the roof. Came back with a game plan and the exact rack I needed and fired it. Stoked!!!!
2055 points	20	★★ Wasp	Trad 30m	Arapiles	★★★ Mega Classic	Sat 28th Sep 2019
Definitely worth 3 stars. An absolute beauty.
2053 points	25	★ Repo Man	Trad 25m	Arapiles	★ Good	Mon 19th Mar 2018
Basically bouldering high off the ground.
2047 points	21	★★ Slap the Philanthropist	Trad 30m	Arapiles	★★ Very Good	Mon 26th Feb 2018
Loved the top half up the thin seam. Was pretty sure I was coming off but somehow wiggled my way up.
2028 points	20	★★ Dream of Purple Peach Popsicles	Trad 32m	Frog Buttress	★★★ Classic	Sun 30th Jun 2019
Climbs almost as good as its name.
2028 points	20	★★★ Short Order	Trad 30m	Frog Buttress	★★★ Classic	Sun 30th Jun 2019
Mega calf pump on this one. It was bloody unrelenting but also amazing.
2027 points	20	★★★ Devils Dihedral	Trad 45m	Frog Buttress	★★★ Mega Classic	Sat 29th Jun 2019
Definitely on par with Down Wind of Angels for best route I've done in Aus.
2002 points	20 20 R	★★★ Take Five	Trad 130m	Arapiles	★★★ Classic	Sat 6th Apr 2019
Did the final pitch to the summit after climbing sundance. Classic way to finish an awesome day out.
1992 points	21	★★ Running on Empty - with Tim	Trad 20m	Arapiles	★★ Very Good	Sun 27th Aug 2017
My dose of emotion for the day. Crux had wet footers as well which added to the spice. Great climb.
1992 points	21 22	★★ Honeycomb	Trad 30m	Arapiles	★★★ Classic	Sun 27th Aug 2017
Had so much fun on this one. Not sure where the 22 grade came from. I thought it was easier than both kachoong and taste of honey which both get 21.
1939 points	21 20	★★ Pilot Error	Mixed trad 12m, 1	Arapiles	★★ Very Good	Sat 1st Jun 2019
JUGS!!!!
1914 points	21	★★ Flying Circus - with Trent	Trad 50m	Bundaleer Area	★★★ Mega Classic	Sun 11th Dec 2016
As far as experiences go, this route has to be up there with the best. I loved every part of it including the chimney. Then that traverse is absolutely insane leading out to the exposed arete. Fizz levels were off the chart for both Trent and me after this one.
1893 points	20	★★ Debutante Direct Start	Trad 24m	Mt Rosea	★★★ Classic	Sun 8th Apr 2018
Overhanging pod at the start look super desperate from afar but is lovely and cosey on the inside. Crack to the top is delicious!!
1880 points	25	★★★ Debutantes and Centipedes - with C Bro	Mixed trad 15m, 3	Arapiles	★★★ Classic	Sat 1st Jun 2019
Got all the moves. Will be way hard to send though.
1864 points	19	★★★ Infinity	Trad 40m	Frog Buttress	★★★ Mega Classic	Fri 28th Jun 2019
Had a brief go at the offwidth start but decided the less painful option looked more inviting. Great route to go swimming in!!
1839 points	19 19 R	★★ Wall of the Afternoon Sun	Trad 140m	Arapiles	★★ Very Good	Sat 6th Apr 2019
Just climbed the first pitch. super nice slabbing
1804 points	20	★★★ Little Thor - with Tim	Trad 12m	Arapiles	★★★ Classic	Sun 18th Jun 2017
Pretty damn good. Got a little bit emotional through the roof with my runners blowing in the breeze below my feet. Felt pretty solid though.
1802 points	24	★★★ Talk is Cheap - with Bianca 1 2 24 lead by Bianca 4 22 lead by Adam 5 16 lead by Adam 6 20 lead by Bianca 7 23 lead by Adam 8 22 lead by Bianca 9 19 lead by Adam 10 17 lead by Bianca	Mixed trad 220m, 99	Mount Brown Main Face	★★★ Mega Classic	Wed 7th Jan 2015
Insane route! Climbing of this quality in such an awesome location is very special.
1783 points	19	★★ Cheops	Trad 20m	Arapiles	★★ Very Good	Wed 3rd Oct 2018
1768 points	21	★★★ Kachoong - with Olly	Mixed trad 25m, 1	Arapiles	★★★ Mega Classic	Mon 17th Aug 2015
Stunning! Somehow I got more pumped on the moves to the start of the roof than the actual roof. Skipped the gear at the roof lip and got a little scared but pulled through.
1768 points	26	★★★ Sirocco	Mixed trad 52m, 5	Mt Stapylton Amphitheatre	★★★ Classic	Sat 8th Apr 2017
After batmanning past first crux this was awesome. Looked emotional near the top.
1762 points	25 26	★★★ Mr Joshua	Mixed trad 50m, 12	Mt Stapylton Amphitheatre	★★★ Mega Classic	Sun 6th May 2018
Lives up to the hype. Had two goes and feeling confident it's possible with a bit more enduro. can't wait to get back.
1751 points	21 25	★★★ Trojan	Mixed trad 86m, 2	Arapiles	★★★ Classic	Sat 10th Mar 2018
Finished up the last pitch of Trojan after doing Judgement Day. I greased out of the crack after trying to place wrong sized gear. Climbed it through from the ledge on the second go.
1747 points	20	★★★ Blimp - with trent	Mixed trad 25m, 1	Bundaleer Area	★★★ Mega Classic	Sat 10th Dec 2016
What a beauty. Don't know what more you could ask for in a climb. Got it just as the sun was setting with all the rock looking super pretty in the low light.
1729 points	19	★★★ The Last Rites - with Em	Trad 120m	Mt Rosea	★★★ Mega Classic	Sun 8th Apr 2018
Everything you could want in 4 pitches of fun. Make sure you bring some tea and scones for the belay ledge at the end of P3. Possibly a good bivy spot as well if you want to make it a bigwall adventure.
1724 points	21	★ Booze Bus - with Aparna Ramesh	Mixed trad 20m, 4	Wilyabrup	★ Good	Sat 21st Mar 2015
Not the most obvious line and you really have to work to stay on route. Great moves over the roof though.
1721 points	21	★★★ Chinese Algebra	Trad 48m	Arapiles	★★ Very Good	Sat 28th Sep 2019
Crux felt super exposed even on TR.
1721 points	22	★ Red right hand	Mixed trad 10m, 1	Arapiles	★ Good	Mon 12th Mar 2018
Short but some pretty cool moves. Nice addition to the area.
1721 points	18 18 R	★★ XI	Trad 30m	Arapiles	★★★ Classic	Fri 27th Sep 2019
Finally got to place my smallest RP . Great climb!
1721 points	19	★★ Acapulco Gold	Trad 10m	Arapiles	★★ Very Good	Sun 11th Mar 2018
Stout little crack.
1721 points	19	★★★ Judgement Day - with Tim	Mixed trad 67m, 1	Arapiles	★★★ Classic	Sat 10th Mar 2018
Exposure on the third pitch is insane!
1717 points	22	★★ Feral Chicken	Mixed trad 20m, 1	Arapiles	★★ Very Good	Mon 26th Feb 2018
Chickened out on the lead before the first bolt. Ben smashed it though. Climbing through the crux is super classy.
1694 points	18	★★ Gladiator	Trad 20m	Frog Buttress	★★ Very Good	Sat 29th Jun 2019
3 star climbing but a 2 star length.
1692 points	21	★★ Dolphin Smiles	Mixed trad 20m, 3	Wilyabrup	★★★ Classic	Fri 5th Dec 2014
Intimidating not being able to see any gear ahead of you. It's there though, just push through! Awesome climb!
1686 points	18	★★ Voodoo	Trad 65m	Arapiles	★★★ Classic	Sun 2nd Jun 2019
Thought it would just be the warmup but ended up being the only climb we got in after Tim got rained off the crux of Chinese Algebra.
1686 points	18	★★ Gilt Edged	Trad 40m	Arapiles	★★★ Classic	Sat 1st Jun 2019
One mega pitch. This thing is awesome!
1684 points	21	★★★ Storm In A Teacup - with Remi	Mixed trad 55m, 8	Albany	★★★ Mega Classic	Mon 10th Nov 2014
Not much more to say other than absolutely superb! Hard 21 but probably one of, if not the most enjoyable climb I've done. The position above the southern ocean just adds to the splendor.
1675 points	18	★★ Goodvibes Direct	Trad 22m	Moonarie	★★ Very Good	Sat 27th Apr 2019
1675 points	18	★★ Alien Country	Trad 25m	Moonarie	★★ Very Good	Sat 27th Apr 2019
1675 points	18	★★★ Miles from Nowhere - with Tom	Trad 100m	Moonarie	★★★ Classic	Fri 26th Apr 2019
Sqeezed this one in after a big day. 3 star 40m pitches are always good fun!
1672 points	18	★★ Tourmaline	Trad 30m	Moonarie	★★★ Classic	Tue 16th Apr 2019
Definitely deserves more stars. An absolute classic at the grade.
1669 points	18	★★★ Scorpion	Trad 30m	Arapiles	★★★ Classic	Sun 7th Apr 2019
Stepping into the bottomless chimney is insanely cool. Found the crack above to be a pretty awkward size between hands and fists for me. Amazing climb.
1663 points	24	★★ Horrorscope	Trad 16m	Arapiles	★ Good	Wed 3rd Oct 2018
1662 points	19	★★ Touch-Type	Mixed trad 25m, 2	Arapiles	★★★ Classic	Sun 27th Aug 2017
Mega face! seems like the logical finish to touchstone
1662 points	22	★★★ In Lemon Butter - with Tim	Trad 15m	Arapiles	★★★ Classic	Sun 27th Aug 2017
Super dooper!
1656 points	21	★★★ Stainless Steel	Mixed trad 30m, 3	Wilyabrup	★★★ Mega Classic	Sun 10th Aug 2014
Absolutely loved this climb! So many different climbing styles in one route. There were some serious glory screams echoing across the crag when I made it out through the crux on the roof.
1639 points	19	★★ Used Platypus Condom - with Tim	Trad 16m	Victoria Range	★★ Very Good	Sun 11th Jun 2017
Had so much fun plugging in gear up the steep wall. Made even better by the name ;-)
1635 points	23	★★ I've Heard It All Before 1	Mixed trad 230m, 99	Mount Brown Main Face	★★ Very Good	Tue 6th Jan 2015
Be sure to continue trending right on the second to last rap. We ended up on a false "botanical ledge" when we didn't keep right and I rapped off it into open space. Had to climb back out through a ton of loose rock. One of which fell on my rap line and gave it a nice core shot. After our scary near miss we decided to skip the first two pitches and continue up. All clean bar a fall on the crux of the 23 pitch.
1613 points	18	★★ Golden Fleece	Trad 35m	Arapiles	★★ Very Good	Wed 3rd Oct 2018
1613 points	18	★★ Hyaena	Trad 16m	Arapiles	★★ Very Good	Wed 3rd Oct 2018
1595 points	23	★★★ Orestes	Trad 40m	Arapiles	★★★ Mega Classic	Sun 25th Aug 2019
Finally got back on this after putting it off for too long. Psyched myself out, placed too much gear, got pumped and dogged the shit out of it.
1591 points	19	★★★ Morfydd	Trad 30m	Arapiles	★★★ Classic	Fri 27th Sep 2019
1586 points	26	★★★ Procol Harum	Trad 25m	Arapiles	★★★ Classic	Fri 14th Aug 2015
The gear was in so we jumped on it. Super funky knee bar moves and awesome finger locking sequence at the top. Would love to try this again when the endurance is a little better.
1581 points	26	★★★ Kalbarri Gold - with Remi	Trad 25m	Kalbarri	★★★ Mega Classic	Tue 28th Jul 2015
Jeepers this thing is insane! Amazingly got through to the crux at the lip. The shapes I had to pull to make it there were reminiscent of a contortionist circus show.
1551 points	21	★★ Dramp	Trad 15m	Arapiles	★★ Very Good	Sun 11th Mar 2018
Great lead by Tim. Kept his head screwed on well.
1547 points	18	★★ Kinkaid	Trad 20m	Arapiles	★★ Very Good	Mon 26th Feb 2018
Much better than it looks.
1517 points	20	★★ Mondo Trasho - with Remi	Trad 12m	Albany	★★ Very Good	Sun 9th Nov 2014
Very strenuous start leads to a lovely fist/hand crack. Not sure how this doesn't have any stars.
1517 points	20	★★ Walking on Sunshine - with Chris 1 20 lead by Chris 2 15 lead by Adam 3	Mixed trad 100m, 6	Albany	★★ Very Good	Sat 8th Nov 2014
I turned into a token belay bimbo on this one after Chris decided to link the first two pitches to within an arms length of running out of rope. Nice way to finish the day though.
1508 points	17	★★ Vortex	Trad 45m	Moonarie	★ Good	Thu 25th Apr 2019
Climbed last pitch to get out of the Jism. Was a privilege to belay Hetty on her first trad lead to the top out.
1492 points	24	★★ The Philosopher	Trad 18m	Arapiles	★★★ Classic	Wed 15th Mar 2017
Had two burns and got all the moves. Would be a very emotional lead.
1492 points	21	★★★ Kachoong - with Tim	Mixed trad 25m, 1	Arapiles	★★★ Mega Classic	Sun 27th Aug 2017
Just as good as I remember it.
1485 points	20	★★ Brother James	Mixed trad 20m, 2	Kalbarri	★★★ Classic	Sat 26th Jul 2014
Sucked it up and just went for it after warming up on Keith Goes Blank. Spent about 15 minutes trying to figure out the crux but eventually pulled desperately through for the onsite. Bolts look a little suss.
1461 points	25	★★★ Buzzard Arete - with Chris	Trad 50m	Moonarie	★★ Very Good	Tue 11th Aug 2015
Cool moves and position up the steep roof section. Bailed after the second pitch after I got spooked from snapping a few holds and footers off.
1456 points	21	★★★ Stainless Steel - with Kate	Mixed trad 30m, 3	Wilyabrup	★★★ Mega Classic	Mon 6th Jul 2015
Awesome climb! I'll do laps on this any day.
1449 points	21	★★ Sirocco Pitch 1	Mixed trad 20m, 1	Mt Stapylton Amphitheatre	★★ Very Good	Sat 8th Apr 2017
1446 points	17	★ The Only Way To Fly	Trad 15m	Arapiles	★★ Very Good	Wed 3rd Oct 2018
1446 points	21	★★ Wee Trip On The Trad Side	Mixed trad 15m, 1	Kalbarri	★★★ Classic	Tue 2nd Jun 2015
This was a cruise second time around. Nice exposed climbing with just the right amount of space between gear. Sweeeet.
1445 points	17	★★ Dirge	Trad 85m	Arapiles	★★ Very Good	Fri 28th Sep 2018
1441 points	18	★★ Jens Roof	Mixed trad 30m, 1	Arapiles	★★ Very Good	Mon 13th Mar 2017
Engaging to find gear up the buttress then glorious roof moves.
1441 points	18	★★ King Rat	Trad 20m	Arapiles	★★★ Classic	Sun 12th Mar 2017
Could easily be 3 stars. Overhanging trad routes are always the bomb!
1438 points	19	★★★ Downwind of Angels - with Chris	Trad 40m	Moonarie	★★★ Mega Classic	Mon 17th Aug 2015
Wow! Just wow. It's on from the start to the very finish. Don't think there was one move that wasn't at the grade. Thanks Chris for cleaning the gear so i could tick this one off the bucket list.
1438 points	19	★★★ Tannin	Trad 35m	Arapiles	★★★ Mega Classic	Fri 14th Aug 2015
Awesome first climb in Araps. No real definite crux, just great climbing all the way to the top.
1437 points	21	★★★ Sundance Crack - with sam	Trad 12m	Avon Valley National Park	★★★ Classic	Sun 3rd May 2015
Got it placing the gear this time. Psyched!
1436 points	19	★★★ Pine Crack - with Chris 1 19 lead by Chris 2 19 lead by Adam	Trad 65m	Moonarie	★★★ Mega Classic	Sat 8th Aug 2015
Such a brilliant line that screams at you to be climbed from bottom camp. Awesome lead by Chris through the runout scoop on the first pitch. Second pitch was super intimidating but not that bad once I sacked up and engaged my inner beefcake.
1425 points	19	★★★ Fishing With Dynamite - with Matteo	Mixed trad 24m, 6	Wilyabrup	★★★ Classic	Sat 4th Jul 2015
One of the best at Willys. Get on it.
1418 points	25	★★★ Acid Didj - with Aparna Ramesh	Mixed trad 30m, 5	Wilyabrup	★★★ Classic	Sat 21st Mar 2015
Took me ages but i eventually worked out the crux. A good one to come back to.
1414 points	21	★★★ Pathos - with Trent	Trad 28m	Bundaleer Area	★★★ Classic	Sun 11th Dec 2016
Sick face. Got super pumped on second and have no idea how I didn't fall off. Need to get back in shape.
1407 points	21	★★★ Soweto	Trad 30m	Summerday Valley	★★★ Classic	Sat 19th Nov 2016
The guides got to it first and had a TR set up so I jumped on. Keen to get the RP's out to give it a lead next time.
1405 points	19	★★ Use No S.L.C.D.'s (Use No S.L.D.'s)	Mixed trad 20m, 1	Wilyabrup	★★★ Mega Classic	Mon 27th Apr 2015
Definitely up there with my favorite routes at Willys. Worth 3 stars for sure. The finger crack at the start is awesome and then the blank top section is super exciting. Micro cams essential to somewhat protect the top.
1399 points	18	★★★ Eurydice - with Jean-Philippe Dumas 1 18 lead by John 2 18 lead by Adam	Mixed trad 65m, 2	Arapiles	★★★ Classic	Mon 24th Oct 2016
First climb since "the trip". Awesome way to get back into things with John. Finished up the last pitch of the bard.
1399 points	18	★★★ Skink - with Jean-Philippe Dumas 1 lead by John 2 lead by Adam 3 lead by John	Trad 110m	Arapiles	★★★ Classic	Mon 24th Oct 2016
Another classic down. Thought the traverse was epic but the last pitch a bit of a let down with most of the climbing done on the face rather than the crack.
1397 points	25	★★★ The Free Route - with Remi	Mixed trad 65m, 8	Fortescue Bay		Fri 9th Jan 2015
An absolute bucket list moment this one. All the hype is 100% deserved. Took me a little bit to work out but I got all the moves in the end. Guess I'll just have to come back and do it again.
1380 points	17	★★ Surface To Air	Trad 30m	Arapiles	★★★ Classic	Mon 26th Feb 2018
At least as good as Muldoon!!
1379 points	25	★★★ Long Time Coming - with Remi 1 25 lead by Remi 2 20 lead by Adam 3 15 lead by Remi	Mixed trad 80m, 11	Albany	★★★ Mega Classic	Mon 10th Nov 2014
First pitch is very thin but achievable with a bit of work I think. Got all the moves seconding apart from the crux getting into the crack (which is absolutely glorious in it's own right). I onsighted P2 which was probably the best pitch of slab climbing I've done.
1364 points	19	★★ Golden Buttress Direct - with Chris	Trad 30m	Wilyabrup	★★★ Classic	Sun 14th Dec 2014
Coolest moves I've ever done on a 19. A must do!
1364 points	16	★★★ Satan's Smokestack	Trad 40m	Frog Buttress	★★ Very Good	Sat 29th Jun 2019
Adventurous and bizarre.
1364 points	16	★ Century	Trad 15m	Frog Buttress	★ Good	Fri 28th Jun 2019
Good intro to Frog.
1362 points	19	★★ Totally Awesome	Trad 17m	Wilyabrup	★★ Very Good	Fri 5th Dec 2014
Gear is a little sparse if you stick to the correct line. The climbing is manageable though. Fight the urge to go right into the safety of the flake.
1353 points	19	★★★ Baylac Directly Direct (Baylac Direct Direct) - with Remi 1 18 lead by Remi 2 19 lead by Adam	Mixed trad 80m, 10	Albany	★★★ Mega Classic	Sat 8th Nov 2014
After both having a lead on the beautiful finger jamming glory below I finished up the new slabby variation. Way better than the original route up the right crack.
1351 points	19	★★★ Welsh Connection - with Chris 1 18 lead by Chris 2 19 lead by Adam 3 19 lead by Chris 4 15 lead by Adam 5 18 lead by Chris 6 17 lead by Adam 7	Trad 270m	The Stirling Ranges	★★★ Classic	Sat 1st Nov 2014
Wow, what an adventure! We got absolutely everything on this climb, exposure, shit gear, good gear, big runouts, esky sized loose blocks, some classic pitches and some very necky leads by Chris. We were climbing by 8am and topped out at about 5pm just in time for a late lunch. All in all this was probably the best and most emotionally and physically taxing day of climbing I've ever had. Would recommend it to anyone looking for some serious adventure.
1344 points	19	★★★ Downwind of Angels	Trad 40m	Moonarie	★★★ Mega Classic	Thu 25th Apr 2019
Raced up this to try and beat the sunset. So much fun! Super composed and classy lead by Tom as well.
1344 points	19	★★ Perhaps	Trad 100m	Moonarie	★★★ Classic	Tue 23rd Apr 2019
Couldn't work out how to climb off the big ledge after Tormaline without going through some scary runout choss. Bailed onto the garden route to top out then lowered down and toproped the last classic crack pitch. Glorious!
1343 points	16	★★ Tim Tam	Trad 30m	Moonarie	★★★ Classic	Sun 21st Apr 2019
Doesn't get much sweeter!
1343 points	16	★ Hunky Dory	Trad 35m	Moonarie	★★ Very Good	Sun 21st Apr 2019
1343 points	19	★★ The Prince	Trad 33m	Moonarie	★★ Very Good	Sun 21st Apr 2019
Nice Lead by Tom.
1302 points	20	★★★ Twentieth Century Fox - with Tim	Trad 50m	Victoria Range	★★★ Mega Classic	Sat 10th Jun 2017
Unreal slab. Pulled out of the crack and onto the face just as one of the best sunsets ever was starting to do it's thing.
