I didn't like this so much. I expected it to be more fun given it's reputation. I don't think I will climb it again.

That step across the void on the last pitch was pretty fun, and a memorable long rap down lamplighter

I did this after a 2am start from Adelaide! It felt really relaxed and I was happy for the first time with run outs. The 50m (prolly 45!) abseil is awesome!

I had lead one short trad climb ever. It was my mates second time climbing outdoors. It wasn't a good start with him pulling me off on the first pitch almost and I should proablly had more then 3 peices of pro in for a 40m pitch. The top is wicked, especially the jump across the top. Watto (my mate) topped it off with a wounderful sausage abseil. What a ripper!! For the A team.

Awesome fun climb with stunning views. Sick rap from the top to get down with my 8 year old son. He loved the route, found the start of pitch 3 challenging but did it himself no problem.
	8	★★ Spiral Staircase - with Jason Budden	Trad 100m	Arapiles	★★★ Mega Classic	Luke	Sun 3rd Apr 2016
Sweet climbing, the start of the last pitch was crux on thin holds while traversing with shit pro and only 3 metres off the ledge.

The Chandos got to build his first trad anchor. Nice little outting; most scrambling. Would be a perfect beginner climb. Good pro, good rock and quite easy to read.
	8	★★ Spiral Staircase - with rickau, Adrian Kladnig	Trad 100m	Arapiles	★★★ Classic	Gee Buck	Wed 10th Oct 2018
Adrian appeared at the last minute then ties into one of the ropes. Upon reaching the anchors he unties and pisses off up the second pitch. We find him having a great time sun baking on the tennis court! Seriously awesome for an 8!

Split the first pitch into 2. Scored the best lead pitches. From the tennis court out onto exposed face was the highlight.

Surprised by this! Chosen as something easy to do in the heat, ended up being quite a lovely route! The first pitch required some thought, while P3 had a wonderful and unlikely sequence (at the grade) up the overhang. Swung leads with Amanda, who pushed through a bit of fear on the final step across the void.
