15 R The Joker - with Jason Lu Mixed trad 25m, 1 Good
Rak
Super fun 15, glad its gets a star in the crag.

 
19 Sideshow - with Rak Trad 35m Classic
Jason Lu
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.

Way less sustained than Entertainer, but the moves on this are way better! Super super fun.

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.

Great climbing.

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.

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.

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

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!

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

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.

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.

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

TR only. Pumpy. Nice route.

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.

Still a classic, and harder than I remember. Josh took a nice big whip on his first attempt!

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.

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!)

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

Excellent line, kept me engaged all the way till the very end. The intimidating looking sections turned out to not be too bad and some of the more approachable looking moves were deceptively hard. Sorry Daniel for stealing all the good weather and leaving you with the rain once again.

Battled my way up to the roof of this one, super proud of myself for getting past the lower crux. Got pumped out of my mind overgripping and freaking out. Sat on my gear before going up through the roof, much easier than I thought it'd be.

Borderline 25. Really good climbing, maybe not quite as good as Terminal Drive (and a fraction harder), but close, and hey, you are allowed to do both ... Blew the last move on my 2nd shot. Oh, well, means I get to come back and do it again

benwiessner
I intended to check out Last Laugh, but I got distracted, and instead I did a little variant of Comic Relief: from the big horizontal break after the large flake, go up from the pebble in the break to a small edge; this soon rejoins Comic Relief. It's a straighter line, not much harder than (and not as good as) the original, but worth checking out if you're looking for something different...

Awesome. Had beta on a good totem placement, otherwise more or less OS. L traverse at the top.

 
15 R The Joker - with Edwin Mixed trad 25m, 1 Good
Chris Bailie
Possible to scout out some decent gear on the L face past bolt (couple of RPs and decent small/med cams in the horizontals) - so not sure if the R is warranted. Maybe I was off route?

Far North Upper Curtain Wall
24 R Terminal Drive — 2 attempts - with Nick Murphy Trad 30m Mega Classic
Andrew Connolly
Mega classic. Rapped in and put the gear in on account of being old and scared and frankly, intimidated by the route description.

Turns out it's really well protected everywhere with normal gear ... except for the slab which is really well protected by firstly a black TCU, then the crucial pink, and bomber pink TCU.

A bit of everything - a crack, a slab, some weird blocky Arapilesian stuff and of course the crux-y roof to finish.

Ended up doing it clean twice - blew it off the deck with cold fingers then out of the roof like everyone seems to on the first shot, then all good after that. Grade is fair.

26 Drama Queen — 3 attempts - with Brent Anderson Sport 25m, 7 Classic
Andrew Connolly
This route is really, really good - I'm staggered more people haven't tried it. Eventually figured everything out, although took a few goes to actually figure out where the holds were.

Went left at the 4th bolt into AHLBB because we couldn't see any holds at all straight up. Still 26 though, even doing it that way (the move up and left are both hard anyway) ... would love to hear from Gordy if he was able to solve it going straight up from the scoop-of-no-progress just after the 4th bolt.

25 ~24 Heavy Horses - with Hannah Rose Trad 25m Classic
Patrick Munnings
I hope this stays as the most sandbagged 24 at Araps instead of being upgraded. probably harder than most 25s around and some of the 26s. Went first lead attempt without inspecting the gear, however this could have been a good idea. Got to the crux where I was sure a blue hex would slot in but found it to be too big for any of the gear I brought with me. I ended up stacking a red and blue hex which seemed to not be going anywhere, committed to the crux move and sent. stoked! A bum rock classic!
