★★★ Comic Relief 21

Start in the middle of the wall about five metres right of Entertainer, a vague "CR" can be found scratched on the rock

Up bulging weakness and pockets (very pumpy to get good gear in) to left-facing flake system that leads to dark overlap. Through this then up wall trending right. Move right rather than going straight up final corner. Rap anchors.

This climb has been the scene of a number of ground fall accidents including broken legs, head injuries and a belayer seriously injured by the falling leader. Take care at the first section. Consider the use of mats, spotters (but see above) and helmets.

Gear Beta Spoiler The initial big flake has garbage placements followed by an insecure move. People rip this gear and deck. The thin horizontal break just above the flake (which many climbers fail to notice) offers an opportunity to place bombproof gear before doing the hard move.

Mount Arapiles is first and foremost a trad climbing area. The few sport climbs tend to be in the higher grades where no natural pro is available.

Bolting, particularly retro-bolting, is discouraged and should only be undertaken after extensive consultation with the local climbers, first ascensionists, etc. Inappropriately placed bolts have been chopped.

Do not chip the rock.

Look after the park.

• Stick to the paths.

• Don't disturb the wildlife.

• Routes near peregrine falcon nesting sites are closed in the spring.

• Minimise the impact of your camping (fuel stoves not fires, take your rubbish with you, etc).
