One of the best with lots of jams. Glad I sussed the gear on TR before red point burn — with Kate, Adele Barnett

Followed Claire up this rad climb and went back for RP with Tanja. Very good — with claire xian

Good gear then bolts at crux

Easier than the claw. Amazing climb just wish it was longer.

Sweet moves

Burly climbing I knew I couldn’t free the moves on TR but went for a RP go to practice falling on gear

Hand jam crux on polished feet. Super fun

Trying to place more passive gear and almost got a bit stuck!

First day romp simul climbing with max and Emil — with Maxwell Cullen

Getting to kitten wall with Dave!

Reachy crux with interesting gear. Social day at crag!

Kind of cool but wasn’t super inspired to go back

Followed Tommy up wanted to back to place gear but ran out of time

Cleaned gear for Maxwells heroic OS! One blind foot slip and fell but other then that clean. Cool movement — with Maxwell Cullen

Following Brodie up!

Wouldn’t normally free solo but better with friends — with Maxwell Cullen

Yee-haw

Happy to finally put this one down. Went in an enjoyably flowy fashion in the end.

A burly layback flake guarded by some minger face climbing at the start.

Went ground up without stick clipping. A #2 goes real nice in the slot before the bolt.

Had a bit of gear and move beta from Meredith Apple which made the rack a little less heavy.

What a route, so much climbing, so many crack techniques required. 10/10. If you like cracks, do this route. The gear is better than bolts.

Awesome! So much fun.

Fantastic pumpy jamming.

Had some premium 0.75 beta which made the headwall less bum-tightening.

What a standout route. All the stars.

Not as R-rated as Gollum in my opinion but definitely a touch harder and absolutely a few stars better. This is all time.

Did the last two pitches in one turbo rope-stretcher pitch which isn't very draggy if you don't place any gear on the easy headwall. I reckon I'll be doing this one again and again.

Had some essential gear beta which made the start feel fine. After that, what a lovely quest through some varied terrain and bomber gear! One of the best.

Fantastic. Rapped it to inspect the gear and some of the moves then redpointed it on the first try from the ground. What a wild set of moves.

Very enjoyable if you're into this sort of thing and probably pretty harrowing if you're not....

As someone who IS into this, I found it pretty red-hot.

Perhaps my proudest Arapiles onsight.

What a journey.

Dawggin, reacquaintin'.

PP Flash, the moves on this are fairly spooky and committing. Pretty happy to sport climb this one hahah. — with Meredith Apple, Emil

Way less sustained than Entertainer, but the moves on this are way better! Super super fun.

Repeat, still perhaps my fave pitch at the grade anywhere. — with Meredith Apple, Emil

Another not bad warmup.

Fun! — with Meredith Apple, Emil

Fairly good little warmup. Cool oozy moves up high.

After bailing off this 3 seperate times on pervious trip(s), it felt unreal to get back here and wander up this with relative ease this time around. What a king line! Two #5s and a #6 plus a standard rack below those sizes make this feel pretty reasonable for a giant 40m pitch.

Repeat to take the gang to crack school.

Highlights include watching a grade 30 sport climber dragging his hands through the crux while exclaiming that "it doesn't go".

Good fun wander.

Linked the first 3 pitches into a big one to save some time then megadeath took us to the summit. — with Meredith Apple, Emil

What a crux, wtf.

Repeat for Henry Barber vibes.

World's hardest V2 is still V2.

Repeat for gags, knees and elbows are the beta.

Pretty fun time-killer while Tommy ran back to camp for a poo.
