Ascents in Arapiles by Dane Evans

Fun

Full passive ascent. Good little line

Putting the photo rope up

Took a little thought

Good fun. Nice intro to offwidths

Downclimb

Back to the top

Feels pretty feasible. Need to figure the gear, and then do it.

Quite nice, nearly worth doing properly

Fun but contrived

Solo downclimb as darkness fell

Quite nice, a bit hard to follow in a hurry

Softest 14 at araps? Trivial slabbing to get back to the top a touch after sunset

Finally did it. Came back via arachnus, I didn't need to do it twice

Quite nice. Feels vaugely familiar. Maybe a second from the late 90s.

Finally completed the first 3 pitches. I rate it

Lovely little climb

Great. Downclimbed the top, then down the access chimney from red wall

Very nice

Thought this felt familiar

Easy fun

Quite nice

Interesting

Continuing to clean up the classics

Somehow I've missed a pile of classics. No longer.

Traditional at this point

The loose blocks made for an interesting moment

Quite nice, once I found it

I think I covered all of this ...

Well, we did most of lamplighter. Started about 30 m left up Spiral. Added a pitch somewhere about Braindrops, then finished up the second and third of lamplighter

P1, then bailed for water and recuperation

Dog of the pikers variant. Pumped out placing the dodgy peenuts, did the moves above, then bailed off the roof in the heat. Maybe in winter. Cool moves though.

Really nice climbing

Sadly a 60m rope leaves you stranded in the wilderness if you try to make the top from the start of pitch 3...

Really nice. Bionic P1, I took 2. Nice climbing that made you work in places.

Pleasant climbing

Good fun.

Will go easily enough. Sharp start, some big moves, and a step around the arete

It’ll all go, if it finishes leftish up the crack. The right was way harder, and sharper

Quite nice. Downclimbing the mantle was interesting

Quite nice

Sadly there are jugs for the second overhang. I was psyching up to use the crack

The first pitch is terrible, but the rest makes up for it. Fun little climb in the drizzle. There are rap anchors at the end of P1 and P2, if there's a set above on top then this might be a 60m rope descent route.

Nice climb

several easy varients here

nice once the toprope was out of the way

great climbing, loved the face to finish

great climbing in the corner

nice start

Hard moves are all at the start, great fun moves though

ok line up a slab of jugs

a much better line, good fun

great climbing up the corner

Seconded Bonnie, quite nice route, lots of other parties to talk to too

Needs a piece above the roof to protect from the ledge, but the #4 RP under the roof holds a fall. Went past the ledge and rolled an ankle after touching the bad part of the finishing hold on the OS attempt. try again later in the week
