At the top of the crux of Exodus II, break right to a 2nd bolt, then up and right to a 3rd bolt (past undercling pocket). Upon reaching the edge of the crack weakness (Copyright), cut back left via yet another boulder problem up the unlikely headwall. Sustained power. FA: Dave Jones | 20m, 4 | |||

27 R | ★★ Ride Like the Wind Direct Finish
As for RLTW, but when you hit the top break, gear up for a final boulder problem! Heartbreaking, mainly because if you fall off the hard finish (well protected), you have to go back down and re-climb the the real business! Established at grade 27 - you might wonder why it was ever downgraded. Start: As for RLTW. FA: Gordon Poulteney, 1992 | 30m, 3 | |||

27 | ★★ London Calling
Start 1.5m R of Denim. Up thin seam to traverse line, R and up to RB, diagonally R to 2nd RB, then trend L to 3rd RB (despite the unfortunate chipped hold, this is still the crux). Berlin Calling (29*) is a linkup of Balance of Power into London Calling (Nathan Hoette Nov '04). FA: Mark Moorhead, 1981 | 23m, 3 | |||

Straightens out the top section of the original by staying L of the last bolt, making it much better. FA: Zac Vertrees | 27m, 6 | |||

28 | ★★ Required
Start just R of Unrequited. A more fingery version of Slopin' Sleazin' perhaps? FA: Ingvar Lidman | 15m, 3 | |||
Victoria North West Arapiles Tiger Wall Area Tiger Wall Under Flinders Lane Wall | |||||
27 | ★ Fox on a Hot Thin Roof
A very technical ceiling. Take a #4 Friend for the wide slot at the end. The prominent roof crack left of The Good... Scramble up to belay just below roof.

27 | ★★ Hot Coq
Up the orange wall past 5 inconspicuous carrots. Apparently, finishing directly past the last one is the most 'enjoyable' way to do the route. Start: At the R edge of the grotto, 2m R of Catch 22/This. FA: Nick White, 1992 | 15m, 5 | |||
Victoria North West Arapiles Voodoo Area Rats Alley | |||||
27 | Crystal Sausage
Steep bolted wall R of 'Tarantula'. Nobody ever does it because it's chipped and the bolts look rubbish, hence nobody knows if there is a rap anchor at the top (is there a rap anchor at the top?) FA: Ant Prehn, 1990 | 25m | |||

27 | ★★ Picking Winners
Start 2m L of UCRN.
FA: Kim Carrigan & Kevin Lindorff (alt), 1979 | 50m, 2 | |||
28 | ★★★ India
An amazing line through some steep bulges. It will work your shoulders and test your footwork as you try to unlock its hidden secrets. Start on the R side of the awe inspiring blank bulging orange face. Up crack before stepping left into the difficulties. Finishes out right up easier ground to DRB. Notable for an early send by Christine Gambert (FR) in 1986, when it was 29, likely the first female ascent at either grade in AU. Was also the first route in AU given grade 29, originally done by stepping L higher than is now the norm, but has slipped to 28. FA: Kim Carrigan & Kevin Lindorff, 1982 | 25m | |||
28 | ★★ The Great Escape
Climb directly into Escape without bridging. FA: Mike Weeks, 1998 | 20m, 4 | |||
27 | ★★ Escape & Enter
The obvious link of Escape start into the last half of Break and Enter. Start as for Escape (original bridging start), then break right and power up through the final boulder problem of B&E. Short, but consistently powerful climbing to the very last move. The route grade is open for debate given it’s basically a V7/8. | 16m, 1 | |||
Victoria North West Arapiles The Pharos and Surrounds The Pharos Back Wall | |||||
28 | ★★★ Slopin' Sleazin'
Pure face climbing funkness. Originally graded 25 and worked on via some very dubious gear. Climbs the crazy groove 10m R of Lamplighter past 4 ringbolts to a DRB anchor. Super technical and sustained, with a variety of options available for undertaking the crux, none of them particularly a giveaway! Unconventional and classic moves make this one of the best routes at Arapiles. FA: Mike Law, 1983 | 15m, 4 | |||
28 | ★★ Give Me Convenience or Give Me Death
Climb 'Shivers' until the 'Judgement Day' traverse line, then head straight up through the roof (bolt) and follow the seam, joining Shivers' 2nd pitch near the top. Start: Start as for 'Shivers'. FA: Ingvar Lidman, 2005 | 30m, 3 | |||
Victoria North West Arapiles The Pharos and Surrounds The Pharos South Face | |||||
27 | ★★★ Mind Arthritis
An outstanding climb taking the major line on the South Face. Quite finger intensive and very exposed. Originally climbed with a piton as the last gear - though this has now somewhat controversially been replaced with a bolt. A small cam can be placed in the top runout. FA: Chris Shepherd, 1985 | 25m, 5 | |||
27 | ★ Senile Dementia
Starts as for Delirium Tremens but at the roof breaks right and traverse a couple of metres before launching straight up the face. Reportedly a tad runout in places, and rarely repeated. FA: Kim Carrigan, 1985 | 35m | |||
Victoria North West Arapiles The Pharos and Surrounds Pharos Gully Voidoid Pinnacle | |||||
27 | ★ Flights of Fancy Direct
Start: Start at crack directly below the lone bolt in the middle of the south face (facing 'Heckle' and Jeckle) and head straight up past big dyno. The original route by Steve Monks traversed right at first break, up arete then back left somewhere at 25. FA: Steve Monks, 1986 | 20m | |||
Victoria North West Arapiles The Pharos and Surrounds Pharos Gully Spellbinder Area | |||||
28 | Free Fingers
Desperate. Start as for "Spellbinder". Go up Spellbinder for 8 metres to ledge. Move right, up short, left-facing corner and over bulge to bolt (#4RP placement en-route). Move right again then up to easier climbing. rap as for Spellbinder FA: Kim Carrigan, 1986 | 20m, 1 | |||

Supposed to be desperate. Start as for 'Adios Amigos' then move right and up past 2 BR FA: Mark Moorhead & Chris Shepherd, 1983 | 20m, 2 | |||

27 | ★★ Smear Campaign
Start as for Lunatic, continue up the arete and then tend R. Has it's own chains. 27 in both current guidebooks. FA: Gordon Poultney, 2010 | 20m, 6 | |||
28 | ★★ Yesterday Direct Direct
Excellent sustained face that adds a hard start to 'Yesterday Direct'. Start just right of Yesterday and climb past a fixed hanger to join 'Yesterday Direct', which continues up via two ringbolts to join 'Yesterday'. FA: Ingvar Lidman, 2001 | 25m, 3 | |||
27 | ★★ Yesterday Direct
A good route to try if Ingvar's variant is out of reach. Step off the boulder about 8m up the hill from 'Yesterday', traverse left 3m to a seam. Up via two ringbolts to join 'Yesterday'. FA: Kim Carrigan, 1984 | 20m, 2 | |||
28 | ★★ Use No Chooks
Stick-clip bolt, climb tricky start and straight up past several more FHs. Start about 12 metres right of Yesterday FA: Kim Carrigan, 1984 | 20m, 4 | |||

Up Credit Crunch, then join MSTK for a few meters, then into cheque your pockets. FFA: Christopher Glastonbury, 17 Jun 2023 | 15m, 3 | |||
27 | ★★★ My Soul to Keep
An ultra technical piece of climbing which is bold in places. Climb 'Odd Spots' for 5metres . Place a high runner in Strangers Eliminate then reverse a move and make a rising traverse rightwards, crossing 'Bad Cheques' then joining 'Tjuringa' at its midway flake. At the flake step down a move and continue traversing right past to 2 bolts to the undercling feature, before heading straight up to join 'Tjuringa' at its first belay. This last section is bold 21 in its own right. Double ropes are essential. Note: 50m ropes may not be long enough to lower the climber back to the ground therefore use double 60m ropes. HB 1, 'Camelot' 1, BD Hexentric 1 are essential gear. FA: Ingvar Lidman, 2006 | 35m, 4 | |||
28 | ★★ Lats Have Feelings Too
It's hard to say which is less repeated - 'Tjuringa', 'Akakage', or this. Once you see the line, you'll know why. A massive traversing affair that starts as for 'Common Knowledge' 2nd pitch, but then keeps heading left (under Akakage) to a (hard) crux lip encounter (very old bolt) and an outrageous headwall finish. Start: Start at the first belay of 'Common Knowledge'. FA: Kim Carrigan, 1984 | 25m | |||
28 | Orgasmo
One of the most significant additions to this wall in 25 years. Originally equipped back in the dark ages. Very hard wall climbing protected by a mix of trad, then bolts - but still very exciting. Starts as for 'High Mum' then when level with the large flakeline (below the notch), drop down to the left and gain 'Tjuringa Wall' proper via a heinious crux sequence past a bolt. Trend up and leftwards to the undercut horizontal and finish as for 'My Soul to Keep'. FA: Ingvar Lidman, 2000 | 25m, 2 | |||
27 | ★★ Akakage
Like its neighbours, a very rarely repeated route that drives straight through the belay of 'Common Knowledge'. 'Fantastic' position and great rock, but a ridiculously hard fingery crux that has baffled quite a few aspiring suitors. Two bolts protect the business. FA: Masanon Hoshina, 1988 | 30m, 3 | |||
Victoria North West Arapiles Northern Group Henry Bolte Wall | |||||
27 | ★ Mormon Poultry
Two bolts left of fortress lead into FYN DS FA: Simon Weill | ||||
27 | ★ The Fortress RHV
Start up Fortress to 2nd bolt, then right and up trying very hard to avoid going back L into the original (and better) version. FA: George Fieg (?), 1995 | 12m, 2 | |||
28 | ★★★ Slinkin' Leopard
Surely one of the best route names in the country. Start 3m R of 'The Fortress'. A slopey traverse R is protected by a bolt (stick clip). Up past two more bolts before heading L to the crack. Up more easily with trad gear and one more bolt to anchors. FA: Geoff Weigand, 1984 | 20m, 4 | |||
28 | Straight Outta Compton
AKA Straight Outta Wackford. As for Wackford Squeers Direct, then arbitrarily follow the difficult C-shaped sickle to the L in the upper section (rather than the obvious line of least resistance). FA: Geoff Weigand. Carrigan had climbed the lower section on, 1985 | 25m, 3 | |||
Victoria North West Arapiles Northern Group Mysteries Wall | |||||
27 | ★★ Tigger
Old Paul Hoskins project re-equipped and sent. Ultra-smeary! Start: Start on left side of 'Mysteries Wall' proper. FA: Nathan Hoette, 2004 | 12m, 2 | |||
27 | ★★ Model Phantom
Thin stuff. Up 'Blue-Eyed and Blond' then veer left into the crack of Mysteries. Undercling the crack to gain gravelly crimps past two bolts, then easier ground above. FA: Geoff Weigand., 1985 | 25m, 2 | |||
27 | ★★ Pooh Sticks
Nowadays largely ignored but still worth doing in it's own right. Originally started by stepping off the pillar into the line but now incorporates the direct start from the ground. Where the connection moves left into 'Anus Horribilus', continue straight up via the traditionally protected arete. FA: Roland Foster, 1989 | 22m, 3 | |||
28 | Super Pooh

Victoria North West Arapiles Northern Group High Dive Gully | |||||
27 | ★★ Power Corruption and Lies
"Power" your way along the slopey traverse line 4m down and right of "Cellular Destruction" to a bolt. Now up past second bolt to letterbox slot (#0.75 BD cam or better, #0.1 BD cam in the smaller gap leaving space for your hands). Up (being careful not to escape out R to the easier ground on the arete and incur the ridicule of the climbing community) into Cellular Destruction at the end of its traverse and finish as for it, complete with its hideous mantle. FA: Geoff Weigand, 1985 | 15m | |||
28 | ★★★ Lats in the Belfry
Originally graded 30, it has settled as a solid grade 28 and offers the longest piece of continuous steep climbing at Arapiles. Start as for High Dive (although the FA started by traversing in from Belly Flop). At the major horizontal break prior to its crux head left and launch up past cam slots to a piton, don't trust this (back it up !), but continue anyway through to "Power, Corruption and Lies" and another, even more horrible piton. Ignore this and instead, clip the 2 bolts and continue straight up to finish as for Cellular Destruction. (Don't escape off R to the arete after the letterbox slot lest you be ridiculed by the climbing community) FA: paul smith | 20m, 2 | |||

One very, very hard move.. hence the name. FA: Paul Hoskins, 1999 | 27m, 3 | |||
27 | ★★★ Bada boom
Climb Cut Short for a few metres until you can gain the hanging orange/grey wall to the left. Up this on delightful incuts, slopes, razors, and pockets to gain a series of beautiful pockets above an orange overlap. Make a span leftwards above the lip to pick up a vertical seam through a bulge then stagger over this to join Tapestry at the end of its traverse. Finish up Tapestry. FA: Ingvar Lidman, 2009 | 30m, 5 | |||
Victoria North West Arapiles Far North Upper Curtain Wall | |||||
27 | ★ Encore
Start as for Cliffhanger. Continue straight up passing a bolt. At the roof reverse Curtain Call for 3m. Gain the headwall above via a neat pocket sequence (crux) passing two bolts. FA: Ingvar Lidman, 2009 | 30m, 3 | |||
