攀登 in Arapiles as various tick types by Cameron Roy

First move is the hardest.

Good to get to the top of bluff major - another pinnacle ticked off. Not sure about 3 stars though.

Had a blast after Missing Link. Fell off really quick but came back to the ground and then got it clean.

Ignored the chains

Good fun after abseiling off bluff major.

First lead! Thanks to Dikko and Michael for their instruction, advice, gear and belaying.

Sweeet! Beware the small belay ledge for the last pitch.

1st arapiles trip - great! Pretty hot in the sun.

3rd pitch description "This pitch looks horrendous but really isn't too bad" - yes, but it was a pretty big surprise for a 14! Great to get to the top of the pharos. Rapping off we ended up at a very cramped rap station and I was hanging off it for a bit - loved the exposure!

First multipitching experience. Super awesome climb. Unfortunately after the 1st rap we couldn't pull the rope through. One of the party climbed/prussicked up, adjusted things, rapped down, and we STILL couldn't pull them. So we all climbed up and walked out. Put a bit of a downer on it.

With BD 5 and 6 cams. Just as awesome as always. Maybe it felt a little harder this time due to a few months off climbing. Found a bail biner on the 1st bolt. Easy to see why.

P1 had a couple of good bits, rest a bit ordinary. Final pitch only 1 move.

Start thought provoking. Crux very nice. Second pitch a yawn. Climbed in high winds, almost got blown off the top.

No obvious line at start, top of first pitch very nice and great second pitch also.

learning to aid with a toprope. Some of the old pins can't be clipped because they're bashed too far in.
