24 R

Intimidating finale. The first pitch was retro-bolted and de-bolted, but currently has 1 FH. Start on top of the great flake that leans against the south corner of the Pharos.
FA: Pitch 1 : Mark Moorhead, Chris Shepherd. Full climb : Moorhead & Roddy McKenzie, 1980 | 40m, 3, 1 | |||
23 | ★ Arms Race
A baffling crux combined with gut-wrenching exposure. Start from the top of the second pitch of "Trojan". FA: Glenn Tempest & Paul Daniels, 1982 | 30m, 1 | |||
20 R | ★★ Dazed and Confused
A good stylish pitch. The initial moves are committing and require lots of small wires. And some of the first holds are loose so check what you're pulling on. Combining this with the upper pitches of "Trojan" makes for a very good grade 21 climb. Start at the top of the huge flake. FA: Kevin Lindorff & Glenn Tempest, 1977 | 20m | |||
20 R | No Room for the Weak
Start as for Dazed And Confused then move right and directly up wall past some very loose flakes, finishing up the fine corner-ramp to ledge. FA: Glenn Tempest & Paul Daniels, 1982 | 20m | |||
22 R | Nuclear Free
Useless.
FA: Glenn Tempest & Kevin Lindorff (alt), 1978 | 65m, 3 | |||
22 | Nuclear Free Direct Finish
This is better but it's really a climb in its own right. Start at the first belay of Nuclear Free, on the traverse ledge. FA: Kevin Lindorff & Simon Purnell, 1979 | 30m | |||
29 | ★ RSI
The finger shredding line starting just left of the start to 'Mind Arthritis', then taking the very bouldery wall above it. 2 hard 2-move boulder problems with a virtual sit down rest between them mars a route with one of the best positions at Arapiles. FA: Kim Carrigan, 2000 | 30m | |||
24 R | ★★ Delirium Tremens
Technically 23 but a runout above the roof has led to the grade being inflated. A great outing on the South Face, starting off the ledge of the finish to Dazed and Confused. Worth noting that this was established onsight by the first ascentionist. FA: Kevin Lindorff, 1979 | 30m | |||
27 | ★ Senile Dementia
Starts as for Delirium Tremens but at the roof breaks right and traverse a couple of metres before launching straight up the face. Reportedly a tad runout in places, and rarely repeated. FA: Kim Carrigan, 1985 | 35m | |||
Project
FA: Geordie Webb | 40m, 5 | ||||
17 | ★ Gunk In The Pimms
Quite good climbing on the lower south-east face, the next little face up the hill from the Punks wall. Takes the face and then left into the prominent hanging corner. Double ropes help. Start on a small ledge below the middle of the face. Up face a few moves then move right into left-leading diagonal and up to ledge. Traverse left, staying low, to below hanging corner. Move up to corner and then up corner/ramp a ways before finishing straight up to huge boulder. FA: Kieran Loughran & Meg Sleeman., 2000 | 30m | |||
14 | Punts On A Whim
Start on the south side of The Pharos, down right of Gunk In The Pimms, at the base of the gullybetweene Uncle Charlie and The Pharos. Up diagonal corner on arête to ledge then left and finish up Gunk in the Pimms. FA: Keith Lockwood, Kieran Loughran & Norm Booth, 7 May 2016 | 40m |
