---|---|---|---|---|---|
20 | Nanga Parbat Solo
Start R of Clytemnestra at a little gully heading towards Agamemnon. Take the thin crack on the L arete. Scramble off. FA: Mike Law & solo, 1982 | 10m | |||
26 | Raven
Start between NPS and CitS at the base of the V-slot the trail goes up. No bridging onto the opposite wall! Bad old FH, and then the crack. You can add to the fun by finishing up Crows in the Snow. FA: George Fieg & Dave Gray, 1992 | 12m, 1 | |||
23 | Crows in the Snow
Start on the L side of Collision Course Wall, at the top of the V-slot the trail takes, beneath a short L curving flake. Up flake for 12m to cave, then R and blindly through bulge to another cave. Finish up any other route to get off. Poor rock and gear. FA: Paul Tattersall & Chris Shepherd, 1982 FA: (described finish added by Kim Carrigan & Malcolm Matheson), 1982 | 20m | |||
25 | ★ Gay Olympics
Start just right of the U bolts - use the stick clip! Thin face climbing and a dyno, nice! Originally given 26 with fewer bolts and no stick-clip. FA: Mike Law & Ian Anger, 1983 | 20m, 3 | |||
25 | ★★ Golden Gaytime
Direct finish to Gay Olympics through the roof past another FH on the lip, to loweroffs. FA: Ingvar Lidman, 2006 | 30m, 3 | |||
22 | ★★ Collision Course
Start 5m L of Agamemnon. L-facing orange flakes 1m L of shrub, to striking large holes under roof. Move 1m left to breach roof at obvious under clings, then up face past old peg on the right, drift left and up till the arete is reached, then back right up face to rap anchors (30m). FA: Kevin Lindorff & Geoff Little, 1979 | 30m | |||
25 | ★★ No Country for Old Men
An excellent birthday present from Glenn to Kevin; the best route on Collision Course wall. Climbs the wall between Collision Course and Female Friends. Take off a star if the bees return. Three bolts and some trad gear. Either climb the pillar immediately right of Collision Course, or climb the start of Collision Course itself (better) to the horizontal ledge at about 10m. From the right edge of the ‘holes’ recessed there, reach up to clip the first ring bolt. Straight up past this and the second ring bolt above. Continue up until able to reach right to clip the third bolt (on Female Friends). Up to the anchors (double rings) above Collision Course. FA: Kevin Lindorff, Glenn Tempest & Glenn Tempest, Set 2016 | 25m, 3 | |||
23 | Guessing Game
Reachy. An old route that starts as for FF to the 2nd FH then keeps traversing across to CC. Superseded by FF. FA: Chris Shepherd & Mark Moorhead (variant by Mike Law), 1981 | 40m, 3 | |||
24 | ★★ Female Friends
An exciting face climb that is very sustained. Start as for WoI, and move left at the FH. Up past 2nd FH then back R to a 3rd FH then loweroffs (30m). FA: Mike Law & Mark Moorhead, 1981 | 27m, 3 | |||
15 | ★ Smooth Journey
If it weren't for the scrappy finish and the intermittent bee problems, this excellent traverse would get 2 stars. Start as for WoI then traverse the funky holes across the entire wall to the arete. Best to belay here due to drag. Finish easily up the front of buttress beside (or on) Clytemnestra Buttress, or move back R to the GG anchor. FA: Joe Friend, John Chapman & Glenn Tempest, 1976 | 44m | |||
20 | ★★★ Wizard of lce
Possibly the best crack at Arapiles. The diagonal elephant's butt crack is a classic of the genre. Start just left of Agamemnon and finish where that route does. Belaying off the rings is not ideal but there are some excellent features to sling. FA: Kim Carrigan & Mike Law, 1975 | 35m | |||
11 | ★★★ Agamemnon
A lovely cool chasm with a thrilling finish - a dramatic bridging sequence that is both run-out and exposed.
FA: Michael Stone & Ian Speedie, 1964 | 40m, 2 | |||
16 | ★★ Men in Tights
Start as per Agamemnon, finish last 5m up Electra pinnacle staying on the Northern chimney face. Small pro. Descent off the back or Rap down Agamemnon bolts as Electra chain is an awkward downclimb. FA: unknown | 45m, 2 | |||
24 | Madness
Start up inside the Agamemnon chimney, 1m L of a thin crack on the R (NW) wall. Tough move at BR then up L to short crack. FA: Chris Shepherd & Stuart Hickson, 1982 | 15m, 1 | |||
28 | Height of Fashion
Start just R of M. Up the thin crack to PR, with difficulty to good flake, then another hard move up L. Move R to easier climbing. FA: Kim Carrigan, 1982 | 20m | |||
19 | ★★ Electra
Originally 18 - it's still solid at 19! The Pauligks' aid wasn't actually at the crux - theirs was an awesome effort for 1966. The appealing crack on the L side of the beautiful orange front face of the buttress. Follow crack till it finishes then step R and up Careful of the rock up higher. FA: Roland Pauligk & Ann Pauligk, 1966 FFA: Bryden Allen †, 1973 | 40m | |||
24 | Mixed Blessing
Not as good as it looks unfortunately, and the bolts are hard to clip. Start a few metres R of E, and 1m L of T. FA: Hugh Widdowson, 1992 | 50m, 4 | |||
19 | ★★ Telemachus
Great sustained climbing with great protection the whole way. Start a few metres right of Electra. Can lower off with 65m rope. FA: Kevin Lindorff & Glenn Tempest, 1977 | 35m | |||
24 R | ★★ Telemachus Direct
Up Telemachus's crack then straight up the arete above to stance. Step L below red patch and straight up the middle of the buttress to the top. Good gear at crux then run-out on easier ground. FA: Kim Carrigan & Eddy Ozols, 1981 | 30m | |||
27 | Love That Pain
Start around R from T. Rightwards crack to rest, L into hanging groove (BR), orange wall then L arete. FA: Kim Carrigan & Steve Monks, 1985 | 40m, 1 | |||
22 | Love that comfort
The start of Love That Pain, escaping up Necrophiliac. The rock is a bit dodgy at the start and the gear is fiddly but the climbing is OK. FA: Douglas Hockly, 2014 | 24m | |||
15 | One Man's Choss
...is another man's FA! Step across the block from the Necrophiliac anchor. Follow the dodgy rock across then up and over the overhang. Can belay using the Telemachus backup anchor bolt then rap from the Telemachus anchor. FA: Rhys Boyar & Ben Wright, 27 Giu 2021 | 27m | |||
15 | ★★ Necrophilliac
Left curving crack with a few nice jams. Lower-offs (25m). FA: Phillip Stranger, 1967 | 25m | |||
17 | ★ Cruxless Knickers
Start 1m R of Necrophiliac. The thin crack, careful of the loose block. FA: Dave Gairns & Chris Baxter, 1978 | 25m | |||
18 | Almost Completely Worthless
What's in a name? Right of 'Cruxless Knickers' is a box corner. FA: Richard Smith & Greg Pritchard, 1998 | 10m | |||
16 | Running From the Martian
Start 15m R of Necrophiliac. The crack R of a bush. FA: S. Madoc & Sam Blainey, 1990 | 15m | |||
17 | Suck Got Sick
Up RftM then juggy traverse R around arete. FA: Sam Blainey & S Madoc, 1990 | 15m | |||
18 | What Is and What Should Never Be
Great song, but the name is wasted on this route. Walk up the gully R of the Atridae then back over the top to find a gully behind the Atridae. You are looking for the middle of a bulging orange wall on the "lefthand side" (whatever direction that may be!) of the gully, 30m up from a detached pillar. FA: Andrew White, Sam Blainey & Jacquie Snow, 1991 | 12m |
