Ascents in Arapiles as various tick types by Douglas Hockly

Good but not two stars. One or no stars

Thin and very hard.

Poor gear, rock, and climbing. I have no idea why it gets a star.

Definitely better than it looks.

Good climbing but the rock quality drops off at the top. Nice pillar to finish on though.

Not that great! Greasy, awkward start. Good steep finish but seems way overrated.

Very thin hard start. Worthless.

I think this is great climbing, much better than Muldoon. Start is fairly hard and not that well protected if 17 is your limit.

Original is too contrived to even work out where you're supposed to go. Step R at the first bolt, back left and then enjoy the fun top roof.

Scrappy climbing then a good roof up high. It is much easier to climb the roof than protect it! There is gear there if you can hang out to place it.

Really not that great, and quite scary now that the pins have fallen out.

Great climbing but not great rock! I seem to be alone in finding this 24 - it's sustained, steep and the traverse is taxing to protect well. Several people have hurt themselves falling off it.

Great sustained climbing, a little sharp but stays dry unless rain has been heavy. A good one to fall off as it's a good clean fall. Second shot.

I did the easy start (HAGF), which makes it maybe 27. Good technical climbing. 2 days. On the top wall I remember lunging for a jug, my feet came off and Gareth took in thinking I was coming off - but I held the jug and then had to hold nearly being pulled off. Just squeaked through.

Good climbing but greasy rock.

I remember it being super greasy. Good, but not classic.

Great route. Classic Arapiles hard route, slopey and slippery and sustained. 6 days, including falling off slapping the last jug...

Good but not two stars as I recall.

Remarkably worthwhile as a second pitch to Astral Plane. Thin crux past old bolt.

Surprisingly ok

Tricky and surprisingly worthwhile

Harder and steeper than it looks

Remember it being ok but very hard for the grade and not that well protected. Harder than it looks!

Poorly protected, dodgy rock and not very good climbing.

I really like the top half, but not the bottom, and the crux is tweaky. Julian Saunders says he's had more business from the pocket on this route than any other hold in Australia. Beware.

Interesting climbing but wanders about. It'd be an ugly fall off the crux.

Surprisingly technical face to good crack. Good climbing.

This is the best option of all the various lines.

The bottom groove is interesting but large chunks of rock on the top wall are very hollow. Finish is fun, but you're better off doing top pitch of Lex if you can.

Don't really remember this but it looks a little dangerous.

The first pitch is slippery, hard off the ledge and short - not that great, but the second is good face climbing on (mostly) positive holds. Beware of brittle rock at the start.

Marred a little by the traverse in. Interesting climbing and fairly stiff for the grade.

I don't really remember it but thought it was good

Just one move. If you can do it, it's a great route. If you can't, it's rubbish.

Didn't seem that great - a few moves and it's over. And they're not great moves.

Great climb, steep and slabby. Hardest move is either the start or the slabby bit, cave is good if it's raining

Great fun. First bolt would be necky to clip if you were short. Topout is probably the crux but you can just lower off the chains on the lip - 23m to ground

Sustained for the first 6m then easy. Nice climbing.

First move is very hard - at least 15. The rest is good.

Seems very hard!

Bolt is not good right now!

Extremely dangerous - you'd hit the ground off insecure crux at 7m and the rock isn't great.

Disappointingly hard just when you think it's over.

Quite odd.

Poor pro for first 6m then ok.

Looks good but isn't. TR'd the line to the right, about 22 but not great either.

Good, hard for the grade, 4 cam handy for start.

Okay but not amazing

Very engaging! Just did first pitch and finished up Bishop which is a good combo. First pitch is maybe 12 but quite out there and not especially well protected.

Don't remember much, steeper than it looks

Actually good.

Good and hard but broken
