Ascents in Arapiles by Erica having trad-cpr or ascent-date

Little committing at the top, I had to go up and down a few times to work up the courage.

I guess it’s pretty good

Yo-yo style

Really happy to lead this. My trickiest trad lead to date, and got to place two rps! Gear inspiration from Andrew

Very happy to onsight this as it’s definitely more traditional trad climbing and not something I’m particularly good at! And I got to place 4 hexes courtesy of Marc!

Fun

Airy

With encouragement from Andrew

Fun, and interesting gear

Didnt take enough medium cams and then ran it out from the traverse to the top. 😳pretty chill climbing on the traverse though

My first trad 18 onsight. Felt easier than oceanoid

It’s a good time when you place all 4 hexes. Obvs a classic route

This was definitely the most difficult gear placing and heady climb I’ve done in a long time. My forearms were fine, but my mind was completely pumped.

Whilst I didn’t do this clean, super happy to practice placing gear on pumpy terrain . I will be back when it’s not 30 degrees with no wind.

Just Pitch 1 after work. Hair raising.

Tricky, got pumped and scared the first time and needed a second attempt

Really fun. Pink pointed it clean first go then did the lead with the gear. My last cam was very poorly placed but the jams were good. Wood recommend.

Chris lead the money pitch ya know. Some classy thrutching leads to a couple of nice jams

Just pitch one

Did it in two pitches with double ropes. Only lead the first two pitches . Will have to lead the crux ones next time

So many bomber nuts !

Happy to do this second shot. My first real jamming send

Really nice face climbing, good gear.

only lead pitch one
