Having been psyched to do this climb since before I'd even heard of Arapiles, it was such a nice feeling bridging and stemming up this gem. Couldn't stop smiling the whole way up. Unforgettable.
|
||||||
19 | ★★ Electra | 40m | ||||
Was a fight, for sure! I think I entered the offwidth the wrong way around ... all my footers were behind me, and all the gear I needed was wedged with me in the crack! What an adventure. Done in one pitch.

This climb put me in such a calm state. Good holds. Delicate movements. A beautiful line up that curving white streak. And the below par pro that makes you know that you have to be in the zone. Classic.

Trutching up that chimney start was fun Was totally clueless in the crack at the top. Could never quick quite get my fists to stick ... always felt a bit too small to get a solid flow going. Still had awesome fun. Araps has a bit of everything!

I reckon this deserves a star or 2!!!! Just for the fact that it's continuous the whole way! Beautiful chimneying, enough gear to keep it sane but spaced enough to make it interesting. Then a bit of a surprise with the crux near the end, when the top is in sight!

I really reckon this crag was a worthwhile addition, all the negative comments I heard about it dampened my hopes, but I was pleasntly surprised! Sure there aren't any classics, but they're for sure enjoyable, and great for newbies, which is something Tibro didn't have. Looks like most of the loose rock that people were going on about has been knocked off too! |
