Not as spooky as Entertainer, but still committing in sections! Rushed to get down, following some drops of rain halfway up!
	18	★★★ Entertainer - with Rak	Trad 20m	★★★ Classic	Jason Lu
Classic Arapiles-ian bulges! Spooky, pumpy climbing somewhat reminiscent of Morfydd. Slightly eases up after trusting my feet more, and finishes with a cool roof sequence!

Had some essential gear beta which made the start feel fine. After that, what a lovely quest through some varied terrain and bomber gear! One of the best.
	19	★★ Sideshow	Trad 35m	★★★ Mega Classic	Maxwell Cullen
Way less sustained than Entertainer, but the moves on this are way better! Super super fun.

	16	★ Hum - with Bill Buckley, Tim Billington	Trad 30m	★ Good	Sam North
Not a well protected start off the ground and a hard to read on-sight crux for a 16. Glad I was using Paul's pre-placed gear.
	17	★★ The Second Affinity - with Bill Buckley	Trad 22m	★★ Very Good	Sam North
Great climbing.

Very good. Took the line through the bulge/roof, which had better holds than appears from underneath.

Far North Lower Curtain Wall
	21	★★★ Comic Relief - with Campbell Davies	Trad 20m	★★★ Classic	Karina Schofield
Did it again to do the final face climb correctly, and had the scariest traverse to the right of my life. Ended up hanging onto the wall with only an opposed knee press and heel/toe, desperately questing for any handholds. Found a terrible crimp blindly and sent the rest of the climb.
	21	★★★ Comic Relief - with Campbell Davies	Trad 20m	★★★ Classic	Karina Schofield
Absolutely stoked with this onsight, first real grade 21 onsight for me. The start is actually pretty easy if you're comfortable at grade 21, but the consequences for hubris are high here. It felt like there were three real onsight cruxes: each of the two left facing bulges in the first half of the climb, and then the traverse to the right afterwards. It took me ages to figure out the bulges, downclimbing to rest on better holds repeatedly while working out the sequences. I also got lost on the second half of the climb and went left to Round Up instead of right, finishing on a balancing act on the thin ledge at the top to get back to the Comic Relief chains.
	19	★★ Sideshow - with Campbell Davies	Trad 35m	★★★ Classic	Karina Schofield
Very cool moves, good pro.
	18 ~19	★★★ Entertainer - with Campbell Davies	Trad 20m	★★ Very Good	Karina Schofield
Felt hard and scary, really shook my confidence, but the day went well in the end. Hard to be sure what the grade is from an onsight though. Went straight through the roof/mantle which was also pretty nerve racking.

Full on battle to redeem myself from my last attempt. Still found it very pumpy and committing, so stoked about the send!

	18	★★ Sweet Surrender - with AJ 1 Trad lead by John Pitcairn Hard start, not helped by getting stuck in the tree. Got fairly pumped. 2 Second lead by AJ A bit easier than it looks from below, and rather nice.	Trad 60m	★★ Very Good	John Pitcairn
	17	★★ Vandal - with AJ 1 15m Second lead by AJ Quite stiff off the deck. 2 15m Trad lead by John Pitcairn Much better than I remember, good jams, avoidable guano. 3 15m Second lead by AJ My calves!	Trad 45m	★★ Very Good	John Pitcairn

Such impeccable movent all the way. The ledge just before the top detracts slightly, but oh such nice climbing. Really, really quality. Went direct through the bum crack rather than around.

Far North Lower Curtain Wall
	21	★★★ Comic Relief - with Will Kluck, T-R Climbs	Trad 20m		Thomas Zambon
Bloody pumpy, and freaky at the start. Struggled to place my first piece, fought to the roof where it seems to be a finger crack. Had a rest, found some good hands and charged to the top. Right before the anchors I struggled on the balancy move with thin gear placed (my fault) and managed to get the top. This was a battle, but it was a ton of fun

Far North Winterset Wall
	25 Easy	★★★ The Reckoning — 3 attempts - with Anthony Cuskelly	Mixed trad 20m, 2	★★★ Classic	Matthew Robbins
A cheeky trad 25(?) to close the year out. 2 tie ins for beta, 3 to send (a low percentage body wiggle crux). Feel like there isn’t really a difference in difficulty here with pre placed gear… and cleaning the roof between attempts would be a pain in the arse. Happy to walk away with a pink point and a giant crack gobie as a prize. Very cool roof trench with minimal off widthing!

Really quite excellent. Fun moves with nice gear except for the start. Keen to lead it
	21	★★★ Comic Relief - with Otto K	Trad 20m	★★★ Classic	jonah ovadia
Epic. Top roped it a couple times till the bottom didnt feel so dangerous
	18 Hard	★★★ Entertainer - with Otto K	Trad 20m	★★★ Classic	jonah ovadia
So great. A bit stiff, but not crazy. Got lost about halfway up and made things harder for myself by reaching for some heinous slopers

hardest grade i have onsighted in trad so far i believe. very entertaining climb. happy to have finally started to look for starred climbs.

Far North Lower Curtain Wall
	19	★★ Sideshow - with AJ	Trad 35m	★★ Very Good	John Pitcairn
All went pretty well, spaced the gear out a bit but would be clean falls. Technical footwork between good finger locks in general. Stepped left to arete rest at top and thought this can't be it, stepped back right and seems I took direct finish. 19 for that but standard finish would make it 18 I think. We are done. Back to camp, took a pratfall in slippery jandals with back landing across tree root. Rest day now please, maybe 2.
	18 Hard	★★★ Entertainer - with AJ	Trad 20m	★★★ Classic	John Pitcairn
Quite the onsight fight for AJ. An epic 2 minute bout of swearing and gibbering under the roof could only be answered by "roger that". The finish through the bulge was taken.
	15 R	★ The Joker - with AJ	Mixed trad 25m, 1	★ Good	John Pitcairn
Enjoyable warmup with some thoughtful moves. Why the R rating? There might be gear near the bolt but it might be shit. Both a bit wrecked but last day for AJ.

First gear fall of the trip. Struggled to get established on P3. Retreated because I am quite fond of my ankles and I did not like my chances of not decking.

	21	★★★ Comic Relief - with Cliff Barnett	Trad 20m		Carl Schneider
Failed. Getting to the little RH rail was hard for me and then came off in three attempts o the move after that.
	21	★★★ Comic Relief - with Carl Schneider	Trad 20m	★★★ Classic	Cliff Barnett
Top roped from round up anchor and finished up that route after getting through the bulge. Really nice climbing through several difficult sections which I didn't find too strenuous, certainly a much more serious prospect to lead though.
	18	★★★ Entertainer - with Cliff Barnett	Trad 20m		Carl Schneider
TR only. Pumpy. Nice route.
	19	★★ Sideshow - with Cliff Barnett	Trad 35m		Carl Schneider

Sandbag. Lowered off the first rap as intended. Half offwidth, half crack. Didn't have the greatest time though the one fist jam was good.
	18 Hard	★★★ Entertainer - with Josh Ring	Trad 20m	★★★ Classic	Poppy
Still a classic, and harder than I remember. Josh took a nice big whip on his first attempt!
	15 Easy	★ Dante's Inferno - with Josh Ring, Imogen 1 Trad lead by Imogen 2 Trad lead by Poppy	Trad 70m	★ Good	Poppy
Gear spaced but good when it's there on the first pitch. Rap chains at the top can be done in one 60m rap or two 30m raps. Better than you would be lead to believe.

	18	★★★ Entertainer - with Lucas Low	Trad 20m		linna
ice cream. had time to do one last climb before the trek back home. mentally prepared for this route including all the rests and gear placements (thanks Nic & Sarah). didn't factor in that one of the rests didn't exist, and that i would be super pumped and needed to downclimb many times after placing gear. was well rewarded with the last sunset of Arapiles and an OTR soft serve (highly recommend!)

	18	★★★ Entertainer - with Nicolas Di Campli, Sarah McVicker	Trad 20m		linna
attempted to pinkpoint the first 2/3 of the route then placed gear from the traverse to the bolts. one take from pumpiness and one take from not knowing how to protect the roof traverse. thanks to Nic & Sarah for protecting it well
