Best route I've been on at Arapiles and now the subject of my obsession. Crux (just after the long reach in the picture in the guide) is cool but hard. Hand jam rest after the powerful start, and no-handers on the blocks next to Thunder Crack before the crux will help, but it's still on for a long way after the crux too. Even the lichenous vertical headwall is no gimme. "Direct Finish" seems a little contrived to me (seems more like a LHV) given the route basically tracks 2-3m left of TC ...

For the first time in 20 years, I left a leaver-biner behind. That's okay though because I left the ground knowing I'd probably do that. Whoever get's my red w/yellow gate leaver-biner, treat her right she has been with me through thick and thin, faithfully holding my shoes to the back of my harness. Great route - thought I'd gotten through the crux at the balancey bit up high but there was another harder crux immediately afterwards which I couldn't do this time. Nice route though!

Super proud line. Defo well hard for 27, more like 28.
Tricky start, then rad jug hauling to a sustained V6 ish section near the top. Terribly bolted but nothing some long draws can't fix. |

What a serene parable of a climb. Didn’t even think something of this level was possible after 3 months laid off with injury. Looked across at the line from the bath atop Clytemnestra just as the sun struck it this morning, visualised the moves and thought “that’s going today”. And go it did. Perhaps the most ataraxic climb I’ve ever done. What an experience. What a route. What a place

27 | ★★★ FinaI Departure | 27m, 7 | Arapiles | ★★★ Mega Classic | Thu 26th May 2022 | ||||
A fairly outrageous looking line, especially when i had a look while rapping down. Quite happy that i got to the crux clean on toprope, but i predictably got completely shut down at the crux. What a combo of reachy moves, tension, body position and a bunch of shit holds.
The sequence felt great to work through - got most of the moves individually and the rest were cut short by the impending rain. Would be an absolute pumpfest getting through the crux and then the sustained finish too.

A mega classic! Quite tough for 27 I think. It has an outrageous crux sequence, with some wild pinchey, crimpy, underclingy moves. Then into quite sustained climbing up the top.
So stoked to have ticked this beast of a climb today! ^_^ Beta Vid: 👉 https://youtu.be/lyI97ry-Pa4 |

27 ~28 | ★★★ FinaI Departure - with Lucas Marie | 27m, 7 | Arapiles | ★★★ Classic | Tue 14th Mar 2023 | ||||
Cleaning Lucas's gear felt like an anti-climax after his send, but a great opportunity to get the beta (thank-you !) while it was nice and fresh.
Maybe 24/25 up to the start of the crux sequence then a nails V6 ? for 7 (hand) moves on shit holds with a lot of body tension before a lovely but completely blowable finish. I could imagine getting to the crux clean - possibly even next shot - but then failing at various points for the next 50 or so attempts before quitting climbing. Maybe I'll change my mind as I try it more, but for now, this feels sandbagged to the extreme. |

Attempted pitch 1 only. Lovely 3 dimensional climbing out to the traverse, then some weird stuff to get around the arete (hint, gym climbing won't help you) where we got shut down. Think I've got it figured though and can't wait to go back. 2nd pitch looks mega, will definitely try to do both pitches (in succession) if I ever get through the first bit.

2nd shot. First lap was a bit of a debacle, but my first redpoint burn was a controlled cruise -wasn't even pumped at the top. Super funky grampians-esque start, then a burly and technical crack and arete finale. Steep fun in an exposed position.
