![]() Exposure, much? You're going into space if you fall off the second pitch. And that roof chimney on the third! Fantastic route.

★★★ Watchtower Crack
![]() The iconic Arapiles route. An amazing line with some commitment required on the upper two pitches. Beta: take two bolt plates and some large cams.

Atridae Agamemnon Area | |||||
11 |
★★★ Agamemnon
![]() Done as one pitch. And what a pitch: solo the squeeze chimney to start, then stem your way up the chasm for the rest. Perfect friction all the way, and a cheeky little run-out at the end to add spice. | 40m | ★★★ Classic | ||

★★★ Kaiser - Resignation
![]() A completely superb lineup for these two routes. Second pitch had a surprisingly bouldery start, and that overhang on the third!

★★ Beautiful Possibilities
![]() An absolute cracker. Delicate, careful moves needed for the start of this one. Good protection, but not obvious - you have to think about it. My pitch of the day, for sure. | 30m | ★★ Very Good | ||

![]() Some tasty exposed bulges to pull through on the second pitch. Shame that it wasn't a little more like that all the way.

![]() Great fun. First pitch is the harder, more insecure one with some non-obvious moves. Second pitch is a classy box chimney and much more straightforward.

★★ Tremulo
![]() A fine little single pitch. In Perth this would be a must do at any crag, over here it's a bit eclipsed by all the other classics nearby. | 25m | ★★ Very Good | ||

Atridae Muldoon Area | |||||
13 |
★★★ Muldoon
![]() A fine start to our day. Easy start up the crack, then a gripping bouldery exposed move out onto the face, then lovely moves up the face to finish. You Victorians are keeping all the good stuff for yourselves.

![]() For an iconic mega classic route, I was left a little underwhelmed. First and second pitches are a bit naff, but the last three are great. A mixed bag, but still a superb outing.
