A long runout to the bolt, serious.

Start is hard and balancy, then it's runout but easy, then reasonably protected the rest of the way

The climbing is good, not as offwidthy as it appears, but the position is really great. Worrying block/s at the start

A bouldery start, then it's a bit uninspiring crossing Scorpion, but the top bit is excellent

I don't get why people rave about this. The climbing is poor. The position is great but the second pitch of Kama Sutra is way better

Good, but does have a large worrying block

I think Chrispy led this by accident - it's a very bold lead, not sure if the gear would keep you off the ground. Impressive!

Gear on the top corner all feels a little iffy. Tiny cams help. Friends said they saw Peter Croft solo up and down this, and that it actually looked easier coming down.

Just odd. Easy some days and hard others

Decent access to blockbuster

TR'd it with a fall then led it placing the gear on another day. Hadn't really looked at the gear so it felt like a proper 'placing the gear' tick. While it has good history and a good line the climbing's not that much fun, worth one star but not two.

I led the second pitch about 2005 and thought it was well protected.. went back 2015 and jumped off a few times as there was a runout traverse and a mantle before gear. Backed off as if you fell off the mantle you'd hit your belayer/the ledge.???

Unprotected bouldery start which is the crux, then wanders L and R with average gear and average rock - nice position though.

Rusty bolt, fragile rock, dodgy gear, don't bother.

A great first 8m or so, then just jump off and lower off the ring. Really cool. All big holds so good for the fingers. The second and third bolts are a bit hard to clip and you'd be hitting the ground so I'll try to remember to do this on doubles in the future. Pretty solid for 24.

Pumpy placing the gear... and doing the finish. Steeper than it looks

Not three stars! Good but not great.

Great apart from the hollow blocks. My favourite of the Bard buttress routes

Tried to do this but it's loose and so contrived it's hard to work out where it goes - let alone where it gets a star from

A bit greasy but good.

Tough from what I remember

Not the greatest rock/gear/climbing but worth doing once.

Backed off this 10 years ago before the bolt was placed, and fell off it even with it! Really good rock and climbing, take a good number of small wires. Felt hard for the grade to me but Adam seemed to find a better sequence.

Bit of a shock even if you're expecting 15. I could easily believe 18 for the start. Lookout.

Yep not much gear up top

Very interesting

Harder than it looks!

Pretty much all the gear is not that inspiring.

Adam did a more direct start traversing below the corner and up. Good climbing apart from a few loose blocks.

OK face climbing, a tad loose feeling.

Wow - feels like 23

Yes! Do this instead of the original Lamplighter finish - it's way better.

Had Wendy's gear in. Great climbing.

Tried to lead it when the bolt was gone - fiddly gear. Got pumped and tr'd it.

I really like this one. Great line, great climbing, great history. 4 days.

Remarkably good!

Super greasy committing layback around the roof.. gets a star just for the insecurity.

Not sure why people bother with this. If you're going to do one 24 at Arapiles, make sure it's not this one. Sonic Boom is good! Do Sonic Boom instead! Go for a walk! Read an improving book! Phone your Mother!

Has new bolts, yay.

Good. You can go over the back to the chains of PK, or scramble off maybe. The direct looks good but doesn't really come together as a route.

Great climbing, just a bit greasy

Top is quite good

OK, technical traverse

Just as well Dave got to this first. I was going to do it on the RP placements. Wouldn't have been so popular!

This one's quite good. Placements is better though.

I think this is 24 and no stars - wandery, hard greasy crux then easy. Just a bit dumb.

This route is excellent! Really interesting and hard for.. quite long enough.

I did the sensible version - up XI to to the top of the crack, then L to the bolt. I found it quite technical, puzzling and blind. Good!

Odd, slippery, hard.

Good climbing, crap rock and gear.

More like 24?
