Joyful flow, one of the best climbs out there!

Inspiring climbing
3257 points	27 Easy	★★ Tigger — 2 attempts	Mixed trad 12m, 2	Arapiles	★★ Very Good	Sun 15th Oct 2023
Quite fun, a V5 boulder in to 23

Fun!
3174 points	28	★★★ Slinkin' Leopard	Mixed trad 20m, 4	Arapiles	★★★ Mega Classic	Mon 29th Nov 2021
Perfect stone.
3071 points	28	★★ The Great Escape	Mixed trad 20m, 4	Arapiles	★★★ Classic	Mon 21st Dec 2020
Great to tick this. I really love the unconventional movement of the double finger lock gastons and the powerful moves to unwind from this. Quite beta-intensive.
3065 points	26 Hard	★★★ Father Oblivion	Mixed trad 52m, 7	Mt Stapylton Amphitheatre	★★★ Classic	Mon 13th Mar 2023
Amazing route to the top of taipan! Nails crimpy sharp crux then easier climbing up an awesome head wall.
3053 points	32	★★★ Punks in the Gym	Mixed trad 30m, 7	Arapiles	★★★ Mega Classic	Sun 6th Mar 2022
So it begins.
3048 points	24 24 R	★★ Delirium Tremens	Trad 30m	Arapiles	★★ Very Good	Mon 3rd Oct 2022
Very scary. Tough to read rising unprotected diagonal traverse with a bit of lichen. Stoked to have done it, falling was not really an option. In hindsight perhaps a head point would have been wiser.
3046 points	23 ~22	★★ PB	Trad 23m	Arapiles	★★ Very Good	Mon 1st Apr 2024
Really nice climbing, good gear in the seam before the crux.
3031 points	25	★★★ The Free Route - with Esti	Mixed trad 65m, 8	Fortescue Bay	★★★ Mega Classic	Thu 4th Jan 2024
Brilliant day out
3009 points	25	★★★ Station to Station	Mixed trad 22m, 4	Arapiles	★★ Very Good	Sun 22nd Oct 2023
2997 points	25	★★★ Buzzard Arete	Trad 50m	Moonarie	★★★ Classic	Mon 13th Sep 2021
Super sick route in an awesome position, it doesn't get much better.
2983 points	23	★ Milk Blood Variant Finish	Trad 10m	Arapiles	★ Good	Tue 5th Sep 2023
2981 points	24	★★★ Deep Play	Mixed trad 20m, 6	Fortescue Bay	★★★ Classic	Wed 23rd Feb 2022
Intimidating, particularly when the rock is wet the first 1/3 of the route and the wind is howling. Luckily the rock is sticky. Great moves. Beta: take extra long whilst climbing it so your belayer can get a solid thrashing by the waves.
2979 points	25	★★ Fail Safe	Mixed trad 18m, 3	Arapiles	★ Good	Sun 16th Jul 2023
2968 points	26	★★★ Yesterday	Trad 27m	Arapiles	★★★ Mega Classic	Mon 25th Apr 2022
Great! Attempted ground up placing gear, then pinkpointed second shot before redpointing third shot. Awesome crack before two bouldery sequences, but good handjam rests.
2959 points	26	★★ Cecil B De Mille	Mixed trad 20m, 1	Arapiles	★★★ Classic	Sun 27th Mar 2022
Very enjoyable climbing with some tiny crimps up high. Basically a sport route with a single bolt up high protecting the entire crux.
2950 points	25	★★ Golden Gaytime	Mixed trad 30m, 3	Arapiles	★ Good	Mon 10th Apr 2023
2950 points	25	★ Gay Olympics	Mixed trad 20m, 3	Arapiles	Average	Mon 10th Apr 2023
Unpleasant holds but some nice moves.
2939 points	24	★★★ Sweeping Statement (Sweeping Statement P1) 1 24 20m	Trad 20m	Moonarie	★★ Very Good	Mon 4th Oct 2021
Cool pitch! Good gear, fun moves. Hard crux at the very end.
2939 points	23	★★ Beside Myself	Mixed trad 30m, 2	Arapiles	★★ Very Good	Sun 9th Apr 2023
2934 points	23 R	★★★ The Seventh Pillar Left Hand Variant	Mixed trad 46m, 1	Mt Stapylton Amphitheatre	★★★ Classic	Sat 25th Mar 2023
Great, doesn’t deserve the R at all.
2934 points	23	★★ The Seventh Banana Pitch 1	Trad 20m	Mt Stapylton Amphitheatre		Sat 25th Mar 2023
2923 points	24 Easy	★★ Female Friends	Mixed trad 27m, 3	Arapiles	★★ Very Good	Sun 5th May 2024
2921 points	24 X	★ Lois Lane	Trad 20m	Arapiles	★★ Very Good	Sat 27th Apr 2024
Headpoint. Not really X-rated with the right gear, but fairly engaging. Not a good first of the grade.
2915 points	24	★★ Jumping for Fancy	Mixed trad 25m, 2	Arapiles	★★★ Classic	Sun 7th Apr 2024
Great combo, bit spicy up high. Redpoint after doing the top on FOF.
2911 points	24	★★ Dreadnought	Trad 54m	Arapiles	★ Good	Sun 27th Mar 2022
2906 points	24	★★★ Hypertension	Mixed trad 45m, 3	Moonarie	★★★ Classic	Wed 16th Jun 2021
Grand! Techy wall climbing past three spaced bolts. Would not want to blow it on the techy moves before the first bolt, as gear is low and non-optimal. Quite sustained climbing, with some average rests.
2903 points	22	★★ Pebbles	Trad 12m	Arapiles	★★ Very Good	Fri 7th Jun 2024
2903 points	22	★★ Quisling Direct Start	Trad 22m	Arapiles	★★★ Classic	Fri 7th Jun 2024

2901 points	22	★★ Vapour Trail	Trad 15m	Arapiles	★★ Very Good	Sat 1st Jun 2024
Awesome route. Ignore the disgust of my climbing partner, he was salty he forgot his hand jammies.
2891 points	22	★ Blackguard	Trad 25m	Arapiles	★ Good	Sun 28th Apr 2024
2879 points	23	★★ Cruel Britannia	Trad 20m	Arapiles	★★ Very Good	Sun 25th Sep 2022
Pumpy thrash. Good gear but strenuous to place
2873 points	24	★★ Female Friends	Mixed trad 27m, 3	Arapiles	★★★ Classic	Sun 28th Feb 2021
Great route! Two very balancy and technical cruxes. Almost came undone reaching for the undercling! Take a light rack.
2852 points	24	★★ The Passenger	Mixed trad 55m, 6	Moonarie	★★ Very Good	Mon 13th Sep 2021
A friendly moonarie route? Thats rare...
2820 points	22	★★ Ephemeral Direct Finish	Trad 22m	Arapiles	★★ Very Good	Tue 5th Sep 2023
Good gear, just a little thought provoking.
2818 points	26	★★ Escape	Mixed trad 25m, 2	Arapiles	★ Good	Fri 11th Dec 2020
2817 points	24	★★ Nose Job	Trad 30m	Arapiles	★★★ Classic	Wed 19th May 2021
Awesome. Placed crux gear on rap. First section feels like bold 21. Lovely steep crux moves with great gear.
2805 points	24 Easy	★★ Female Friends	Mixed trad 27m, 3	Arapiles	★★★ Classic	Mon 10th Apr 2023
2801 points	24 R	★★ Telemachus Direct	Trad 30m	Arapiles	★★ Very Good	Sun 26th Mar 2023
A great lead! A tad bold but the runout is on easier ground. Wasn’t brave enough to attempt the onsight, but first shot after inspection.
2801 points	23 24	★★ Fault Line	Mixed trad 25m, 1	Arapiles	★★ Very Good	Fri 7th Jan 2022
Fun. Probably 23 instead of 24.
2801 points	23	★★★ Fever Pitch	Mixed trad 30m, 2	Arapiles	★★ Very Good	Fri 7th Jan 2022
Real good. First bit requires a bit of thought to protect, the crux is tricky but not sustained, then a pumpy headwall on average rock.
2788 points	23	★★★ Milk Blood	Trad 10m	Arapiles	★★★ Classic	Sat 27th Nov 2021
Real technical and slippery. Tricky, but bomber gear and some good hand jams up high.
2788 points	23	★★★ Lunatic	Mixed trad 25m, 3	Arapiles	★★★ Classic	Sat 27th Nov 2021
Real fun movement and super pumpy!
2780 points	23	★★ True North	Trad 27m	Waitpinga	★★ Very Good	Sun 31st Oct 2021
2780 points	22	★★★ Los Endos	Trad 40m	Arapiles	★★★ Classic	Tue 25th Apr 2023
A great route apart from the spooky loose flake. Some decent runouts. What a commanding line.
2779 points	25	★★★ Durban Poison	Mixed trad 45m, 7	Moonarie	★★★ Mega Classic	Mon 20th Sep 2021
What a corker...stunning line up a proud arete. One of the best routes I have ever climbed. Second shot.
2772 points	22 R	★★ Devoid	Trad 35m	Arapiles	★★ Very Good	Thu 21st Dec 2023
Pre-placed first piece, relatively essential. What a great thought-provoking climb!
2768 points	23	★★★ Jenny Craig Moonarie Summer Camp, Activity One; The Endless Pitch	Mixed trad 45m, 1	Moonarie	★★★ Mega Classic	Mon 20th Sep 2021
Truly onsighting this was a highlight, tricky precise crux then lots and lots of techy climbing questing up the wall. Decent gear all the way up. A voyage.
2766 points	22 ~21	★★★ The Navigator - with Rob Watson 1 19 20m Second 2 22 40m Trad 3 20 20m Second 4 15 15m Second 5 19 25m Trad	Trad 120m	Mt Stapylton Amphitheatre	★★★ Classic	Sat 11th Mar 2023
Good fun, wandery dicky runout climbing on the second pitch though.
2755 points	25	★★★ Another Excess	Mixed trad 20m, 4	Moonarie	★★ Very Good	Sat 3rd Jul 2021
2753 points	24	★★★ Fingernickin' 1st pitch	Trad 30m	Moonarie	★★★ Classic	Mon 19th Oct 2020
Lead on pre-placed gear. A great technical crack. Bouldery 24 moves through the bulge and above, which relents to pleasant 18. A joy to climb.
2752 points	23	★★ Kryptonite Krack	Trad 14m	Arapiles	★★ Very Good	Sun 21st Apr 2024
2744 points	23	★★★ Against the Wind	Mixed trad 45m, 2	Moonarie	★★★ Mega Classic	Sat 3rd Jul 2021
New favourite moonarie climb. Excellent moves, great exposure, nice thin gear, its got everything.
2742 points	25	★★★ Durban Poison	Mixed trad 45m, 7	Moonarie	★★★ Mega Classic	Mon 18th Apr 2022
2739 points	23	★★★ Goblin Mischief	Mixed trad 50m, 1	Moonarie	★★★ Mega Classic	Wed 16th Jun 2021
Bloody hell is this run out. After the last horizontal, there is techy slab/face for about 8m till a thin seam that will accept some average small RPs. Then a tricky sequence for the next 5m until a good rail. Would definitely not want to blow it, a 20m fall could be on the table. Cruxy at the bolt and mossy at the top, but a splendid climb all up. This is why Moonarie gets raved about.
2733 points	26	★★★ Nati Beast	Trad 8m	Belair National Park	★★★ Classic	Wed 29th Dec 2021
Undoubtedly one of the best climbs/boulders in the adelaide region. Ground up and finally committed to the sequence. Cheers Steve and Rob for the psych and prep!
2732 points	21 R	★★ Wogs at the Piles	Trad 15m	Arapiles	★★ Very Good	Mon 3rd Jun 2024
Great. No bolts on it right now, let’s keep it that way. The line protects on gear fine. Yes it is a bit bold, but an unsullied experience.
2724 points	29	★★★ Masada	Mixed trad 28m, 1	Arapiles	★★★ Classic	Sun 31st Jul 2022
A really neat piece of climbing with a funky crux.
2723 points	24	★★ The Philosopher	Trad 18m	Arapiles		Sun 5th May 2024
TRash
2693 points	25	★★★ Spasm in a Chasm - with Raife Gehren	Mixed trad 25m, 3	Arapiles	★★★ Classic	Wed 9th Dec 2020
Second try. Crux is quite beta intensive. Super fun route. Placing large nut on lead isn't easy.
2689 points	22	★★ Goodbye	Trad 30m	Arapiles	★★ Very Good	Sun 26th Jun 2022
2686 points	23	★★★ Birdman of Alcatraz	Trad 30m	Arapiles	★★★ Mega Classic	Mon 21st Dec 2020
Stoked. Been putting it off for a while. Elegant yet pumpy climbing which never lets off from the traverse except for two average rests. Felt like I was coming off a number of times, the layback feet are so polished. Double ropes are handy, for pre and post traverse. Micro gear for after the traverse. Felt on the harder side for the grade, compared to Dispatched and Orestes.
2685 points	22	★ Mediterranean Sundance	Trad 20m	Arapiles	★ Good	Sun 5th Mar 2023
2680 points	22	★★ Straw Dogs	Trad 11m	Arapiles	★★★ Classic	Sun 29th May 2022
Great! Good small gear at the start and techy climbing gives way to a powerful sequence.
2680 points	22	★★ Hellspite	Trad 12m	Arapiles	★★ Very Good	Sun 29th May 2022
A tricky move!
2668 points	22	★★ Remnant	Trad 120m	Moonarie	★★ Very Good	Mon 18th Apr 2022
First pitch is great, felt tough. But lower off there. The second pitch was one of the greatest choss fests I have been on.
2661 points	22	★★ Dreadnought Variant	Trad 12m	Arapiles	★★★ Classic	Sun 27th Mar 2022
Really good, some big moves.
2655 points	24	★★ Astral Plane	Mixed trad 15m, 2	Arapiles	★★ Very Good	Sat 27th Nov 2021
Got lost on first attempt, but got there on the second. Fun movement. Good gear, takes a little bit extra to place.
2651 points	22	★★★ Blunt instrument/Burning spear P2 Link-Up	Mixed trad 35m, 8	Fortescue Bay	★★ Very Good	Wed 23rd Feb 2022
Good moves. But contrived near the top, its too tempting and easy to head left.
2648 points	23	★★ Jumping for Jugs	Mixed trad 20m, 2	Arapiles	★ Good	Sun 7th Apr 2024
2644 points	25	★★★ Ride Like the Wind	Mixed trad 25m, 2	Arapiles	★★★ Mega Classic	Mon 25th Apr 2022
Sussing it out for a lead attempt in the future. Dialled some sequences...bold technical face climbing.
2637 points	22	★★ Hidden Secrets	Trad 25m	Arapiles	★★ Very Good	Fri 7th Jan 2022
2627 points	22	★★ Wild Reaper Connection	Mixed trad 35m, 2	Arapiles	★★★ Classic	Sun 5th Dec 2021
Wild and awesome.
2627 points	22	★★ Shivers (Shivers P1) 1	Trad 55m	Arapiles	★★★ Classic	Fri 3rd Dec 2021
First pitch only, gotta come back for the second. Great! Best bits of kingdom come and judgement day with a new pumpy slightly runout sequence between them.
2626 points	22	★★ Cecilia	Mixed trad 25m, 4	Arapiles	★★ Very Good	Tue 30th Nov 2021
Fun and soft.
2611 points	24	★★★ Acid Rain	Trad 55m	Moonarie	★★ Very Good	Sat 3rd Jul 2021
One quite hard move. Pleasant climbing, but rock quality is not the best. Awesome position.
2611 points	24	★★ Space Madness	Trad 30m	Moonarie	★★ Very Good	Sat 3rd Jul 2021
Great hard boulder sequence high off the deck. Definitely not a sandbag...
2606 points	24	★★★ Robbing Hood	Mixed trad 50m, 3	Moonarie	★★★ Mega Classic	Wed 16th Jun 2021
Even better than hypertension. Less sustained, but has harder sequences. Trad gear is much better on this climb. Lovely tricky face sequences to unwind gives way to a short cruxy finger crack before finishing up a bomber hand crack.
2602 points	22 25	★★★ Buzzard Arete Extension	Trad 80m	Moonarie	★★★ Mega Classic	Mon 13th Sep 2021
I believe this line traverses underneath the huge roof with a couple bolts and is graded 22? Super rad!! The Trinity Wall of Moonarie. Wild positions with inverted knee bars and dicey moves, what a corker!
2588 points	24	★★ Horrorscope	Trad 16m	Arapiles	★★ Very Good	Mon 19th Apr 2021
Very enjoyable lead, with excellent gear.
2582 points	25	★★★ Henry Bolte	Mixed trad 30m, 3	Arapiles	★★★ Classic	Thu 5th Dec 2019
Really nice climbing! Some rest ledges, but good crimping up the sustained middle. Great movements.
2582 points	25	★★★ Debutantes and Centipedes	Mixed trad 15m, 3	Arapiles	★★★ Mega Classic	Thu 5th Dec 2019
Mega! Felt impossible first go, but after figuring out the beta it suddenly seemed very doable. Pretty desperate mono crux to a good finger lock.
2576 points	22	★★★ Nemesis	Trad 130m	Moonarie	★★★ Classic	Wed 16th Jun 2021
Very good. Pitch 3 is scrappy but the other pitches are excellent. Interesting old-school crux pitch involving nifty fingerlocks and some thrutching on poor feet.
2567 points	22	★★★ In Lemon Butter	Trad 15m	Arapiles	★★★ Classic	Wed 19th May 2021
Gee its so good. Elegant smooth climbing. Great gear all the way up, not really a runout at all provided you have some small stuff.
2567 points	22	★★ White Heat	Trad 20m	Arapiles	★★ Very Good	Wed 19th May 2021
Good jams in a hostile position.
2567 points	22	★★ Collision Course	Trad 30m	Arapiles	★★ Very Good	Wed 19th May 2021
Decided to try it after not seeing any bees during my five minutes observation. Imagine my regret to find that the hive was swarming with them and I'd very nearly placed a hand in their nest. Luckily it was late in the day and they were sluggish. Quickly pulled the hard undercling move through the roof and delicate face afterwards. Would be classic if not for the chossy last several meters.
2567 points	20	★★ Bam Bam	Trad 12m	Arapiles	★★ Very Good	Fri 7th Jun 2024
2566 points	27	★★ Les Memoires d'un Ane	Mixed trad 18m, 3	Arapiles	★★ Very Good	Sat 3rd Jun 2023
Close, it’s got some powerful moves up top. lovely climbing, one to come back for.
2566 points	28	★★★ The Womb Waltz	Trad 35m	Moonarie	★★★ Mega Classic	Mon 18th Apr 2022
Opening another project.
2560 points	22	★★ Honeycomb	Trad 30m	Arapiles	★★ Very Good	Mon 26th Apr 2021
First half is fun climbing up a nice crack. Gear is a tad dicky. Exciting pulling through roof, but then its all over too quickly.
2546 points	21 21 R	★★ More of the Same	Trad 25m	Arapiles	★★★ Classic	Sun 25th Sep 2022
What a classy climb! Hidden gem, thought-provoking but solid gear.
2545 points	22 22 R	★★ Unrequited	Trad 15m	Arapiles	★★ Very Good	Sun 28th Nov 2021
Ground up placing gear after watching my partner place gear. Gear was still incredibly dicky and non-confidence inspiring. Some bomber stuff though. A real nice climb, some tricky sequences.
2543 points	22	★★ Feral Chicken	Mixed trad 20m, 1	Arapiles	★★★ Classic	Sun 28th Feb 2021
Sweet and slippery! After no rain for two weeks the pocket and horizontal was still seeping. Having seen a bird drink from the pocket before my attempt, I guess I should have known better. Desperately converted the wet sloper to a handjam and stayed on. Eventually committed to the crux and motored up on crimp slopers expecting a huge whip (on good gear) which fortunately never arrived. Felt quite stiff! Classic.
