Victoria North West Arapiles Far North Cliche Wall | |||||
16 | Schoney
Right of Noggers And Joggers, climb crack to small stance, then arete. I am guessing this is the short crack leading to the same ledge as the corner of Off the Beaten Track. FA: Stephen Hamilton & Peter Stevens, 1988 | 16m | |||
Victoria North West Arapiles Far North Werewolf Area | |||||
16 | ★ Full Moon
Two good pitches with quite a hard start.
FA: Keith Egerton & John Chapman, 1976 | 85m, 2 | |||
16 | Full Moon Variant finish
Start: Start as for 'Full Moon'.
FA: Keith Lockwood & Noel Whiteside., 2003 | 80m, 3 | |||

15 | Daze Gone By
Detached pillar on left end of 'Bonsai' Buttress. FA: Jon Muir & Mark Moorhead c., 1980 | 15m | |||

16 | ★ Trouser Sighs
Wall 2 metres left of 'Winterset'. FA: Chris Baxter & Dave Gairns, 1982 | 25m | |||
16 | No Lichen on My Moccasins
Hero thinks this might have been done earlier by Noddy. Start: The clean line 50m right of 'Courting Daze'. (A large dead conifer leans against the cliff nearby). FA: Iain Sedgman, Lesley Roberts & Leanne Matheson., 2002 | 20m | |||
Victoria North West Arapiles Mitre Rock South Mitre | |||||
15 | Holy Roller
A wandering route that isn't worth it. Start 5 metres right of Behemoth below box-groove.
FA: Chris & Sue Baxter, 1983 | 55m, 2 | |||
15 | Youth in Asia
A major line with lots of scary loose blocks. Start 5 metres right of Behemoth below box-chimney.
FA: Chris & Sue Baxter, 1983 | 50m, 2 | |||
16 | ★ Immaculate Deception
Some nice moves. The gear is poor until the V-groove is reached but the climbing is easy to that point; better protection is available for the harder climbing. FA: Chris & Sue Baxter, 1983 | 15m | |||
16 | Shelf Life
Another OK climb that's in the shade on a hot morning. Shares the good start of Off The Shelf and takes an easier logical finish just left of the easy corner. Good rock and protection. FA: Unknown, 2000 | 30m | |||
Victoria North West Arapiles Mitre Rock Hells Bells Area | |||||
16 | ★ Altar Boy
Face left of "Armageddon" to orange bulge which is turned on right. The bulge has been taken direct at 20 via a line half a metre left of this one. FA: Peter Martin, Ian Howe & Merv Trease, 1980 | 11m | |||
16 | ★ Might...not
A steep, pure hand-crack splits the front of the second outcrop at the base of the gully. FA: Dave Gairns & Chris Baxter (FRA), 1983 | 12m | |||
Victoria North West Arapiles Mitre Rock Deacon Area | |||||
15 | ★ Hollingworth and the Little Boy
Up past hole and up arete, through small steepening. Start: Squeezed between the 'Prelate' and 'The Priest' (ooh er). FA: FRA Richard Smith & Greg Pritchard, 2002 | 10m | |||
15 | ★ Deacons Dilemma
Delightful moves up wall and thin bottomless crack 2 metres left of "The Priest" FA: Peter Martin & K. Deacon, 1979 | 16m | |||
Victoria North West Arapiles Mitre Rock North Mitre | |||||
16 | Choirboy
Requires a bit of a grope around the bulge. The line about 3m left of The Archbishop. Groove to bulge, then on easily up to scoopy wall and upper wall. FA: Ray Lassman & Keith Lockwood, 24 Sep 2015 | 40m | |||
16 | The Old Man and the Kid
The little crack on the right wall of the gully around left from Lema Sabachthani has a hard start. Clipping the first bolt of Apron Strings might be tempting. FA: Geoff Weigand & Bert Levy, 1980 | 13m | |||
16 R | Lema Sabachthani
The poorly protected start makes the left arete of Mason's Apron a serious lead. FA: Chris, Sue Baxter & Mike Stone, 1984 | 15m | |||
16 R | Striking Chords
Boulder up tiny smooth bulge straight to the peg on Gulp. Go diagonally right (in Mullumbimby Madness for a move), pull bulge then left to incipient cracks 2 metres right of Gulp. FA: Keith Egerton & Jane Wilkinson, 1983 | 40m | |||

Good climbing with a committing bulge at 7 metres. Start 1 metre left of Bostok at 2 vertical seams. FA: Tony Dignan, Phillip Armstrong & Tony Marian, 1977 | 40m | |||
Victoria North West Arapiles Western Side Mean Green Wall | |||||
15 | The Galloping Green Gallant
Hero writes: "I'm reasonably sure the route Klaatu, Veradu, Nicto by Sedgie, et al was done by Richard Smith and I in early 'September' 2001 and we gave it 12." (Note that the name Klaatu... was later re-used at Christmas Walls) FA: Hero Fukutu & Richard Smith, 2001 | 10m | |||
Victoria North West Arapiles Western Side Zareba Wall | |||||
16 | Father Perrill
Start At the left end of the wall below the pinnacle. Up moving right to the bulge. Up. FA: Ryan Doe & Iain Sedgman, 16 Apr 2016 | 18m | |||
16 | Valley of the Blue Moon
Start as for Father Perrill. At the bulge move right a few metres and up. Can be climbed direct too. FA: David Mitchell, Iain Sedgman & Jannie Chin, 2008 | 20m | |||
16 | Mobius Strip
Start 30m R of OTOM at a small block sticking out at the foot of the wall. Up awkwardly onto horizontal, on up to jugs and at the main horizontal move left to below bulges and up. FA: Iain Sedgman & Peter Canning, 2007 | 11m | |||

16 | El Posso
Head around the nose right of Ringtail, through a little col above the pinnacle of Pygmy Possum, to wall facing Campbell's kingdom. Fairly good corner that used to have a star once upon a time so we've given it back for luck. FFA: a FA: Chris Baxter, Dave Gairns & Mike Stone, 1978 | 22m | |||
16 | The Mega Route
Steep grey crack starting from ledge up and left from Pygmy Possums. Faces back towards Fairy Glider. FA: Wendy Eden & Simon Mentz, 8 Oct 2017 | 8m | |||
15 | ★ Pygmy Possum
Chimney leading to overhang and crack on the pinnacle at the foot of the ridge. FA: Chris Baxter & Mike Stone, 1980 | 14m | |||
Victoria North West Arapiles Western Side Fox Rocks | |||||
16 | Wild Goose Chase
Over bulge then easily up to steepening. Up right onto arete, over loose block, then back left to finish. Start: Start 15 metres or so right of 'Foxtrot', in middle of next buttress down right. FA: Chris Baxter & Ian Ravenscroft, 1988 | 20m | |||
15 | Eternal Youth
The most obvious line at Fox Rox. A grade 18 direct finish to this route was written up in May 2005 Argus by Trevor Wall, Vince Waters thinking it was a DF to "Dead Fox". It's not clear wheer the DF goes, possibly high up the righthand wall. FA: Chris Baxter & Dave Gairns, 1981 | 25m | |||
Victoria North West Arapiles Western Side The Menagerie | |||||
16 | Psycho Goat
The central steep line on the lower section of cliff. FA: Iain Sedgman & Peter Canning, 2004 | 12m | |||
Victoria North West Arapiles Western Side Christmas Walls | |||||
15 | ★ Swingtime
One of the better climbs on the outcrop. At the right end of the cliff is a closed gully. Start on the right wall of the gully at a steep and slightly left-leaning line, obscured low-down by a beautiful casuarina. FA: Peter Canning, Iain Sedgman & Keith Lockwood, 2003 | 18m | |||
15 | ★ The Atlantic Wall
Start on the left wall of the 'Swingtime' gully, about 4m from the back of the gully. FA: Iain Sedgman & Ron Spence, 2003 | 30m | |||
16 | Klaatu, Verada, Nicto
Start about 40 metres left of 'Swingtime', 40m right of 'The Grinch', and just left of a gully next to what looks like a small pinnacle. Sedgie also used this name for his route near 'Mean Green Bean Machine'. FA: Iain Sedgman & Peter Canning., 2003 | 30m | |||
15 | Slay Rites
Probably the best climb on the outcrop. Starts 15 to 20m left of 'Victoria' C. Woodhull at a prominent corner crack with a hanging flake a few metres up. FA: Iain Sedgman, Noel Whiteside & Vince Waters., 2002 | 20m | |||
15 | Robbie The Reindeer

Victoria North West Arapiles Western Side Campbell's Kingdom | |||||
16 | Zorba
Climb crack for 4 metres. Surmount clean-cut, triangular overhang to ledge. Up shallow groove and line (I'm guessing that this top bit is shared with Plumber's Crack). Start: Start 3 metres left of 'Perpetual Motion' at sloppy initial Z FA: Alec Campbell & Ray Lassman, 1967 | 33m | |||
15 R | Soft Centre
Unusual and poorly protected first pitch. Start: The climb proper starts from about 5 metres up the gully which starts about 6 metres of 'Spontaneous Combustion'. It is probably best to belay at ground level rather than a few metres up the gully.
FA: Keith Lockwood & Andrew Thomson, 1974 | 70m, 2 | |||
15 | Snorkler
The best line on the cliff with some great climbing in the corner. However the start's a bit unsatisfactory and it wanders off left at the finish. Originally the route had a belay out on the left halfway up the corner but the anchors are poor : an ancient peg and not much else so this belay has been omitted. Note that previous guides gave the route length as 62 metres despite the listed pitch lengths adding up to 72 metres. Start: Start at an open groove below the obvious large corner. This is 3 metres left of 'Mr Crab'. There is a square-cut, wide corner 3 metres further left.
FA: Alec Campbell & John Veasey, 1987 | 62m, 3 | |||
16 | ★ Deep Throat
More interesting wide crack stuff, best in it's lower half, with the top losing the line and gaining the usual moss. FA: Andrew Thomson & Keith Lockwood, 1974 | 15m | |||
16 | Piss
Nice looking crack. FA: Joe Lynch & Nick Reeves, 1979 | 15m | |||
Victoria North West Arapiles Western Side Campbell's Kingdom Sutherland Shire | |||||
16 | ★ Rose-coloured Glasses
Satisfying moves all the way. Would be well-trodden if it was beside 'Minimus'. Start: Reddish seam on left side of outcrop about 40m right of 'Dark Ages'. FA: Keith Lockwood, Peter Canning & Iain Sedgman., 2003 | 10m | |||
Victoria North West Arapiles Western Side Deep South | |||||
16 | Lazarus Arisen
