24 24 R | ★★ Morning Thunder | 30m | Arapiles | Tue 24th May 2016 | |||||
This route was kinda dissapointing. It's only hard in 2 places and has some grotty, iffy rock. Barely a 1 star route. The start would be really dangerous on lead - if you fell off the crux, you are going to crater into the white slabby corner or the ground. If you get through the crux, there's still no gear anyway. The top bit that the guide says is run out is at least safe.

I don't love this route as much as others it would seem. Gear can be fiddly if you don't spot the right placements. Rings are to the R in a little cave - easy to miss.

Seems very stout at grade 20. At the finish, going up the arete just right of corner seemed to be a great option (rather than the corner itself). Anchor was further right than indicated in the current topo... but maybe I missed it.

Committing crux moves out of the cave and up to the roof, but lots of gear available just before there. Lovely traverse moves out under the roof, then easier climbing up the corner. Only placed cams up to BD #1, I think.
