Emergency Location: Mount Arapiles, Mitre Rock North Area

Restricciones heredado de Arapiles

Cultural heritage closures now apply to some parts of Arapiles. This advice continues to evolve and may not be fully reflected in this website; refer to Parks Victoria for details applicable at the time of your visit. https://www.parks.vic.gov.au/-/media/project/pv/main/parks/documents/management-plans/mount-arapiles-tooan-state-park/mount-arapiles-tooan-state-park---aboriginal-cultural-heritage-protections---october-2020.pdf

Bird Nesting September-December Raptors usually nest on the following climbs in Spring : Cassandra, Eurydice, Harlequin Cracks, Revelations. Nesting usually finishes mid-December. There may or may not be signs in place at these times. Please keep 50m clear of these climbs if there appears to be nesting activity.

State Park - no dogs. No fires allowed Oct-Apr (inclusive).

Ética heredado de Arapiles

Mount Arapiles is first and foremost a trad climbing area. The few sport climbs tend to be in the higher grades where no natural pro is available.

Bolting, particularly retro-bolting, is discouraged and should only be undertaken after extensive consultation with the local climbers, first ascensionists, etc. Inappropriately placed bolts have been chopped.

Do not chip the rock.

Look after the park.

  • Stick to the paths.

  • Don't disturb the wildlife.

  • Routes near peregrine falcon nesting sites are closed in the spring.

  • Minimise the impact of your camping (fuel stoves not fires, take your rubbish with you, etc).

If you're tired of Arapiles you're tired of life.

And you'll be tired after this. Overhung undercling flake with stuff all for your feet. You might not be surprised to find it hard for the grade.

PA: Jon Muir, 1984

Requires a bit of a grope around the bulge. The line about 3m left of The Archbishop. Groove to bulge, then on easily up to scoopy wall and upper wall.

PA: Ray Lassman & Keith Lockwood, 24 Sep 2015

Start at the painted initial 'A'.

  1. 27m (10) Follow crack to V-corner and bridge up this (placing gear in some loose blocks) to ledge.

  2. 15m (5) Juggy wall.

PA: Geoff Uebergang & Keith Lockwood, 1967

Start 2 metres right of The Archbishop and go straight up wall to flat roof below left arete. Over this to seam just right of arete. If you climb this route direct it's about 22, it was originally given 18, not sure if this was just meant to be a sandbag or if they avoided the hard bits!

PA: Peter Martin & Andrew Oates, 1992

  1. 27m (14) Start as for Penny Dreadful but diagonal delicately left and up to small undercling roof. Move up and right into right-facing corner and up to ledge.

  2. 15m (5) Juggy wall.

PA: Rod Young & Phillip Armstrong, 1977

Start below thin seam on the first bit of orange rock left of the gully, 8 metres right of the initial A marking the start of The Archbishop.

  1. 27m (11) Hard, avoidable, start up seam and through small bulge at 5 metres to ledge. Veer left to right-facing corner. A tricky move into corner then up to ledge. Rap chains.

  2. 15m (5) Juggy wall above.

PA: Peter Watling, Andrew Bowman, Gen Corcoran & Phill Hay, 1973

Quite good moves on the top flake. Start as for Penny Dreadful or at the next seam to the right. Up to the blocky ledge then take the flake-crack right of the Penny Dreadful corner.

PA: Keith Lockwood & Peter Watling, 1984

Takes the big wall around right from Leather Bound. So-so. Start up the gulch between Leather Bound and The Great White Hope, moving left to the prominent crackline on the wall around right from Leather Bound. Up crackline, step right through bulge, then finish up corner system on the front shoulder of the buttress.

PA: Keith Lockwood & Kieran Loughran, 1 Feb 2016

Old-fashioned jamming up the line through a couple of overhangs. Be wary of loose blocks near the top. Start immediately left of Bangla Desh at obvious crack-line.

PA: Chris Baxter, Andrew Bowman, Keith Lockwood & Peter Watling, 1973

Worthless. Has lots of loose blocks as well.

PA: Keith Lockwood & Chris Baxter, 1973

Good rock. Takes the prominent prow 30 metres down left of Mason's Apron. There's a small, chipped mark near the ground.

  1. 27m (10) Either climb the ramp from the right, or direct up a tricky seam to a small ledge under the overhang. Go 3 metres left then gain main, left-facing corner and go up.

  2. 8m (5) Romp to the top.

PA: Peter Watling, Andrew Bowman, Glen Corcoran & Phil Hay, 1973

A series of sustained moves.

  1. Start as for The Parsons Nose Direct Start and continue directly through overlap and seam and up steep wall. Belay at ledge.

  2. Move left through right facing corner and tricky overhang a few metres right of The Great White Hope.

PA: Hywel Rowlands & James McIntosh, 1 Nov 2016

Advertencia Flora y Fauna: Skeleton Fork Fern

A good climb for beginners to follow as protection is limited. Start 2 metres left of V-corner of Pete Made Us Do It.

PA: Greg Pritchard & Paul Hoskins, 1993

Space filler.

PA: Bendigo CAE Students, 1990

An enormous pile of bat guano. Start below middle of big diagonal crack and scramble up to a ledge with an enormous pile of bat guano beneath roof.

PA: Chris Baxter & Dave Gairns, 2000

The full name is "Regarding Apocalyptic 'Simpleton' 'Simpleton' Fun Penis Shooter Shrug Woof Hello". Despite this, it is not a great climb. Start 2m left of Through the Dardanelles.

PA: Richard Smith, Greg Pritchard, Keiran Loughran, Paul Hoskins, Deb Sweet, James Falla, Jan Pritchard, Bryn Smith, Jon Bassindale & Salix, 1999

Done Exodus and Cloaca and looking for another easy route? Below the Mason's Apron (left of Exodus) is a short pinnacle. This climbs the tallest part of the outside face.

PA: Woodser & Kirsty Hamilton, 1996

Bolted line on back wall of Mason's Apron. Short and powerful. Start on the back of the Mason's Apron block.

PA: Steve Kelly, 2004

The little crack on the right wall of the gully around left from Lema Sabachthani has a hard start. Clipping the first bolt of Apron Strings might be tempting.

PA: Geoff Weigand & Bert Levy, 1980

The poorly protected start makes the left arete of Mason's Apron a serious lead.

PA: Chris, Sue Baxter & Mike Stone, 1984

Nice climbing, just avoid the hollow rock at the start. Start in the middle of the wall left of Exodus, behind little pinnacle.

PA: Dick Evans & John Stone, 1979

A bit contrived.

PA: Kieran Loughran & Meg Sleeman (FRA), 1991

An awesome climb if you're not a fan of exposure. 1) 23m (6) Start on exodus for 16m and then head up the sloping belay ledge on L. 2) 15m (2) Up the corner then traverse R then straight up.

PA: jen findlow & Daniel Howell, 5 Oct 2017

Delightful. Start just right of a detached little pinnacle and just left of Edgell Gerber at a shallow corner.

PA: Keith Lockwood & Geoff Uebergang, 1967

Usually top-roped.

PA: Peter Martin & Andrew Oates, 1992

An exciting flake though maybe only just scrapes in for the star. Start as for The Devil's Advocate.

PA: Phillip Armstrong & Roger Murphy, 1977

Climb short crack 1 metre right of Exodus to ledge then the chimney-gully on the left side of the Salem wall.

PA: Chris Baxter & Andrew Smith, 1967

Below Edgell Gerber is a short crack to gain the ledge.

  1. 25m (14) Start up this then from the ledge diagonal right to gain a crack between Iago and Morgul Can't. Up this to ledge.

  2. 15m (-) Step across the DA chimney and climb the wall.

PA: Hamilton & Woodser. (alt), 1996

OK. Start as for Morgul Khan.

PA: Rod Young (solo), 1977

Obvious direct finish to Morgul Khan but a crucial flake is suspect. Start as for Morgul Khan.

PA: Richard Smith & Sonia Jones, 1986

More very nice climbing which is quite satisfying even though it squibs the obvious direct finish, Morgul Can't, which is just that bit more serious. Start at easy corner 3 metres left of Salem.

PA: Jeremy Boreham & Rod Young, 1977

Sustained technical climbing on beautiful rock. Shallow flake-corner 12 metres left of Gulp.

PA: Rod Young & Kevin Lindorff, 1977

This route starts up Salem for a few meters then uses balancy moves to step right. For the direct and bold start see A Dream Of Pink Tse-Tse Flies Direct.

PA: Rod Young & Kevin Lindorff, 1977

Desperate start with cosmetic protection into easy line right of Salem.

PA: Kim Carrigan, 1984

This is looking a bit lichenous. Start 7 metres left of Gulp.

PA: Keith Lockwood & Dave Mudie, 1988

Start as for Gulp.

  1. 38m (17) Direct past peg on Gulp to the grass. Straight up wall, starting up a thin crack. Veer up left to another small wall. Climb central crack in wall, drift a fraction left then finish centrally. Continue easily (to obvious horizontal overlap).

  2. 12m (-) Pull over overlap and finish left of centre via square cut headwall.

PA: Keith Lockwood & Kieran Loughran. (alt), 1998

Up and right to ancient peg runner then left and up onto grassy ramp and wander up this. Start 8 metres left of the conifer near the Bostok ramp. There's a ramp of spiky grass at 8 metres.

PA: Shorty Turner & members of Z Commando Company, 1967

Boulder up tiny smooth bulge straight to the peg on Gulp. Go diagonally right (in Mullumbimby Madness for a move), pull bulge then left to incipient cracks 2 metres right of Gulp.

PA: Keith Egerton & Jane Wilkinson, 1983

Good climbing with a committing bulge at 7 metres. Start 1 metre left of Bostok at 2 vertical seams.

PA: Tony Dignan, Phillip Armstrong & Tony Marian, 1977

Scramble to the top of ramp. Now go up short crack and scoop, trending right, and then back left and through overlap. Start at a ramp running up diagonally right 12 metres left of Belltower and just left of a large conifer growing against the cliff.

PA: Phillip Armstrong, Tony Marian & Tony Dignan, 1977

The initial wall of this is pretty crowded with 3 independent starts within about 3 metres. Start 4 metres left of Belltower.

PA: Dave Mudie, Keith Lockwood & Richard Smith. Keith Egerton had possibly climbed the initial wall earlier., 1988

Bouldery problem 3 metres left of Belltower, just left of the first FH of Nuns Love It. Walk off right into the base of Belltower.

PA: Dave Mudie, 1988

Up cruxy bulging face past fixed hanger to ledge, then trad up easier face and crack to overlap past second fixed hanger, crux, then up to rap station.

PA: muki Woods/toby

Chimneying to good wall climbing. Easy bridging up deep chimney left of Beelzebub with poor protection. Now finish up the centre of the wall above.

PA: Keith Lockwood & Geoff Uebergang, 1967

"You'll need the reach of a sick dog", Tony Marian.

PA: Kim Carrigan & Tony Marian, 1978

A funky little thing. Double ropes help and a #4 cam helps to ignore unnecessary atrocious bolt. Start at the right edge of the deep cleft of Belltower. Up to horizontal and traverse 5 metres right to layback crack to ledge. Up crack past old bolt to chimney.

PA: Chris Baxter & Andrew Smith, 1967

A ridiculously hard start for Beelzebub. Start as for Tayloring A Trend, below bolt.

PA: Tony Marian & Kim Carrigan, 1978

A beautiful wall but with chipped holds. Start below a bolt 3 metres left of Tinker Taylor.

PA: Nic Taylor & Craig Nottle, 1983

Nic Taylor chipped the holds but couldn't do the climb.

PA: Kim Carrigan, 1984

All natural, but painfully small holds. Start as for Roadside Attraction.

PA: Kim Carrigan, 1984

Advertencia Flora y Fauna: Skeleton Fork Fern

Strange climbing up the guano-stained scoop with minimal protection at the crux. There's a fairly worthless direct start (23) 3 metres to the right past a bolt (John Gandy, Simon Carter 11-89).

PA: Kevin Lindorff, Rod Young & Phillip Armstrong., 1977

Short but worthwhile. Start at right side of wall at a cluster of pockets.

PA: Kieran Loughran & Chris Baxter, 1985
