19 20 | Nymphet's Crack | 32m | Frog Buttress | ★ Good | Sun 6th Aug 2017 | |||
Seems more like 21 ish. nice clean offwidth, then techy shallow corner with some friable rock to tree, gear is a bit spaced at one point. Desperate mantle onto ledge where an anchor would really add to the route, but you have to climb a grotty 3m then over choss to anchor above satiricon. Def worth doing if you have run out of classics at the grade though.

19 20 | ★ Wild Oats | 70m | Arapiles | ★ Good | Tue 13th Apr 2010 | |||
start is wildly out of keeping with the rest of the route, which is a bit wandering but gets you up the butress at a moderate grade

Make sure you do the final roof, it's fantastic. It might help to consider every pitch about 2 grades harder than it's given.

19 | ★★ Monty Python's Flying Circus | 25m | Frog Buttress | ★ Good | Mon 27th Jun 2016 | |||
With a triple rack of micro wires, there was enough gear at the start but it never gets wide enough for micro cams. Kind of annoying in that you are all focused on finding gear and not really on climbing. The top corner is quite nice but a long way off top quality Frog offerings.

19 | ★ Off the Wall | 13m | Frog Buttress | Fri 24th Jun 2016 | ||||
Nice enough climbing in very short sections with divided by a big ledge. Some fridge sized blocks in the crack at the end.

19 | Midnight Express | 23m | Frog Buttress | ★ Good | Sun 7th Aug 2016 | |||
pretty cruisy and enjoyable climbing, although I was happy to step into the right hand crack near the top as the exit is filthy.

19 | ★ Psychedelic Apricot Pitch Two | 25m | Frog Buttress | ★ Good | Sun 7th Aug 2016 | |||
This one was way better than I expected - there was only 1 section where I thought it was particularly dodgy. Overall, the climbing was good and I've climbed on worse rock. Some of it was at Frog too.

Seems very stiff for 19 and the gear is not "great". It's reasonable prolific but fiddly. Less experienced leaders could struggle finding bombproof gear and it's pumpy to hang around on. Climbing was good though.

I'm going to break with all tradition here and say this route is massively overrated. The first pitch is beyond mank. The roof is in a good position, but the rock is still mank. I was very happy to have a 6 camalot with me, it's in dirty but at least solid rock. There are are a few nice moves on good rock in the 3rd pitch, then it becomes a ramble ending in a manky slab. Go do Basilisk DF if you want the bombay chimney through roof experience on good rock and do Kaladan if you want to climb a quality route at Ikara.

|

19 | ★★ Toucan | 60m | Victoria Range | ★ Good | Sun 20th Nov 2016 | |||
Good crack to start then manky traverse with dodgy rock. Next pitch is quite fun but you could probaby have a better experience linking them with double ropes. Don't know how people have been getting down. Cairns at top of gully above Casquaire don't seem to indicate any useful first rap or scramble. We left some tat and rapped right of the summit.
|
||||||||
19 | ★★ Grand Design | 54m, 1 | Arapiles | Wed 6th Apr 2016 | ||||
Good long pitch. Sustained series of long moves between good holds through the start (no wonder Douglas liked it) and stays out of Skylark for a surprisingly long way. Take every small cam you own.
|
||||||||
19 | ★ The G Spot | 23m, 1 | Arapiles | ★ Good | Sun 11th Jun 2017 | |||
The best one of the three, has a bouldery start and some fiddly gear, which will be a bit less disconcerting as it cleans up. The engineering feat is, um, impressive ...

19 | ★★ Little By Little | 32m, 2 | Arapiles | ★ Good | Fri 24th Nov 2017 | |||
I kept plugging gear in the top waiting for the described spicy finish, but there's actually tonnes of gear. And it's pretty soft. I wouldn't balk at 17.

Some chalky rock and fiddly gear in the middle. Seemed noticably harder than the 2 routes to the right. Might be better with another bolt below the white v groove

19 | ★ Flying Ants | 4 | Arapiles | ★ Good | Wed 17th Oct 2018 | |||
Best route I did on the wall, also seemed easy enough at the grade, and plenty of gear around the bolts, you could do without some of them on the final head wall.

19 | ★★ Inquisition | 27m | Frog Buttress | ★★ Very Good | Sun 6th Sep 2015 | |||
Varied and interesting climbing, very thin gear down low to 12m or so of 4-5 camalot sized corner. Shitty extra 10m or so to top out and traverse to the rap tree above BST. Would be classic with an anchor.
