23 The Swarm Mixed trad 18m, 2 Arapiles Good Fri 13th May 2022
I am pretty sure I belayed the FA of this a decade ago and declined to do it due to skin and reach. I was obviously more sensible back then. Everything today felt quite spoogy. This took a few more goes than it should have for the first 4 metres. I just kept sliding off the hold at the end of the crux next to the wire placement. It’s really a direct start to Psalm 69

22 Honeycomb Trad 30m Arapiles Very Good Wed 18th May 2022
Having seconded this a long time ago cleanly, I didn’t give it proper respect and botched the hand sequence on the Alzheimers OS attempt. Then got rained on twice,though fortunately the lower part of the route stayed mostly dry

Had forgotten pretty much everything from a couple of years ago, but managed it second shot today. Worth a lead this trip. A bit of a hidden gem

Personal top rope grade 19, probably feels worse on lead. We did the start but finished through roof to right

20 Bossy Mothers Mixed trad 15m, 1 Arapiles Very Good Sat 14th May 2022
Really nice route. Because it’s hidden behind the annoying bush I will mention a #4 is handy. Did quite different approach to Dave due to reach at the start to get crack. Then quite sustained climbing but good stances for gear.

22 Hellspite Trad 12m Arapiles Good Tue 17th May 2022
Led up to crux ( again) but not sure what to do, go right or left, but with a bit of beta spray managed it on top rope. It’s all about a super high right foot cam. Oh well, it partially clears up the old dog….

19 Psalm 69 Trad 36m Arapiles Good Fri 13th May 2022
Oops, I was meant to be warming up on Nativity. I thought the jugs were a bit small. The bottom half is good, just abseil off the rings.

21 Droop Street Trad 30m Arapiles Very Good Thu 27th Sep 2018
Borderline classic, if it stayed harder longer, but then it would go up a grade. Committing and pumpy for me. Used 2 ropes.

A good way to exhaust ourselves before/ as the rain hit with a couple of runs on this. Shame about the ledges.

Failed again. Hate the start. Tips too trashed today, but at least it was a nice temperature in the gully

21 The Wraith Trad 35m Arapiles Classic Fri 14th Sep 2018
Had seconded a decade ago, but couldn't recall anything. Goes up to classic on lead due to the scare factor. Our 60 m rope would have got down from anchors, but I used doubles

Gah. Came off at end of undercling section. Definitely not the first to do that. I did second this clean about 12 years ago, but I had forgotten everything…

21 Great Working Dog Stories Mixed trad 40m, 2 Arapiles Very Good Sun 9th Oct 2016
Led P2, both pitches good value. Unfortunately didn't find the rap station and with rain starting we did a speed ascent of syrinx, kind of, traversing off right and back down Ali's before we got too wet

23 Just Out of Habit Trad 20m Arapiles Good Sat 14th May 2022
One sit. The route finding isn’t obvious. We went right then up then left then right! Double ropes would be useful

21 Mr Buffalo Mixed trad 25m, 2 Arapiles Average Fri 16th Oct 2015
Good rock, but humidity and flies and inability to reach between horizontals led to a slight mcdougalling at the start. Felt really slippery.

24 The Philosopher Trad 18m Arapiles Very Good Thu 15th Oct 2015
Took me 2 goes to figure out short person beta, did it clean third go, the fell on lead twice, feel smashed in the 35 degree heat. I reckon add a grade if short.

19 Oat Energy Trad 15m Arapiles Very Good Sat 29th Sep 2018
Felt 19 to me, a bit daunting as couldn't reach above into crack to place gear to ease the crux nerves.

22 Unknown route Trad 15m Arapiles Good Mon 17th Sep 2018
I thought I was on WATP until looking at guide book. The bolts aren't that new. Very thin and would still feel quite bold.

19 Telemachus Trad 35m Arapiles Very Good Sun 16th Sep 2018
Would have been 3 stars if it ended after joining Electra, but the top traversing bit is on dubious rock. Two ropes pretty useful.

20 Thunder Crack Trad 30m Arapiles Classic Sun 20th Dec 2020
Rpt with Dave. I think it felt as hard on second as it did leading. More Fixed gear at the moment than when I did it

Got on the right route today. Quite nice. The low roof shared with Honeycomb feels stout for the grade

22 Drivetime Mixed trad 8m, 2 Arapiles Good Fri 16th Oct 2015
Fell off after second bolt going for jug. May have been too pumped to place cams anyway. 2nd go still pumpy.

23 Strolling Mixed trad 25m, 1 Arapiles Good Thu 12th Mar 2020
A Mark Moorhead 23, I should have guessed, harder than the 24s I have done in the last few weeks. Very cruxy for 4 metres. I think I sorted short persons beta, but linking the moves would have no margin for error ( let alone trying to place gear). Notes to self: backstep left foot at fridge and match under roof, right hand to slopes, left to quarter pad crimp, left foot in small dish, right half way up corner, and then move foot higher to finally hit a decent hold

25 The Undertaker Trad 18m Arapiles Good Tue 21st Feb 2017
Can I blame adam demmert for making this polished? First 2 goes it felt impossible after getting to second piton, but third go I went from second piton to finish clean. But just can't figure out how to reach into the finger lock at that point.

One long pitch with extended runners. Quite steep, but juggy. Good exposure

21 Pull Anchor Mixed trad 30m, 2 Arapiles Average Fri 14th Sep 2018
The moves around lower bolt and up low crack are good, but generally it's contrived, escapable and some suspect looking rock. I wouldn't give it any stars for an Araps route.

18 Riding the Quayle Mixed trad 130m, 2 Arapiles Good Tue 11th Sep 2018
We did the last 2 pitches of this. Maybe started up Tschard to get to the Belvedere. Not sure. First pitch had a good undercling move through bulge to an alcove at 40 m. Second pitch went up a rib to right then trended left up nice intermittent cracks to the right edge of the Belvedere. Overall felt 16ish.

18 ~19 Interlude Mixed trad 35m, 2 Arapiles Thu 16th Mar 2023
The bottom crux felt 18. The top crux past the second bolt is scary for leader as invisible from ground above a ledge and at least a grade harder. Dave pointed to the good hold to top out. Definitely would not be physio approved…

21 Broken Song Trad 40m Arapiles Very Good Sun 9th Oct 2016
