Left the cams on the ground, my funky angled hex in the hole might have held. Quite nice thoughtful climbing for 12 but gear a little tricky in places. Belay by Rosie.

Meh. Probably better solo.

Interesting, good move at half height then only a little actual layback required.

Nothing to write home about, though the overhang crank is fun.

Quite good, interesting all the way, though pro gets a bit sparse approaching the rap anchors. Topped out on right of ledge, uo the crack in the central block to get some gear. P2 looks disgusting. Tempting...

12 | ★ Bites in the Pie - with Anna | 10m | Arapiles | ★ Good | Mon 4th Apr 2016 | |||
Easier than Necrophiliac, probably harder than 12 though. Good hand and fist jams. Probably 18 or 19 if you don't jam eh Magnus?

12 | ★ Receding Hairline | 14m | Wharepapa Rock | Don't Bother | Sun 21st Mar 2021 | |||
Had to dig for gear, you'll want hexes for security. Removed a head size chunk up top that was all set to kill somebody.

Don't expect much pro up the first slab start. Passed at the beginning of pitch 3 by a French soloist. All in a day's work...

Initial chimney harder than it looks. The rest a bit dull.

| 110m, 1 | Arapiles | ★★★ Classic | Sun 5th Apr 2015 | |||
Ran pitch 3 and 4 together on double 60s, had to trail my little pack thru the squeeze. Brilliant chimney, run out but felt secure, lots of 3D moves.

12 | ★★ Panzer - with Angela Hewlett, Stephen Bailey | 95m | Arapiles | ★★★ Classic | Tue 12th Apr 2016 | |||
Hung around for 2 hours in drizzle waiting for it to be just dry enough to start. 3 great interesting pitches, fun slabbing, cool corner crack, more slabbing, a traverse to another corner, then a terrific overhung jug haul. Get up on it.

12 | ★★ Diploma - with Grant Johnston, Angela Hewlett | 20m | Ōtepatotu | ★ Good | Thu 11th Feb 2021 | |||
Crux is probably getting established in the V groove, or the top crack exit. Well protected.

12 | ★★ Cheshire Cat - with Angela Hewlett | 22m | Arapiles | ★★ Very Good | Sat 22nd Apr 2017 | |||
Had seconded before. This is great, a nervy little undercling traverse then some fun monkeying around in the overhanging juggy chimney. Watched an epically sweary ascent of Claw, highlight of the day.

12 | ★★★ Siren (Siren Linkup Siren Direct Finish) - with John Henry | 150m | Arapiles | ★★★ Classic | Sat 4th Nov 2017 | |||
Had been saving this for a cruisy option and there was nobody on it! Soloed P1, ran 4&5 together with direct finish. Narrowly avoided heading up Argonauts. The direct finish really doesn't seem any harder than the top of the pitch below.

12 | ★ Shitty Nappies - with John Henry | 15m | Arapiles | Average | Tue 1st Nov 2022 | |||
JH arrives to more rain and plentiful mosquitos, with mumblings about working up slowly. Drizzle, greasy rock, quite a stiff move getting onto the low ledge/pinnacle thing.

12 | ★ Iago - with Grant Johnston | 45m | Arapiles | Average | Tue 25th Oct 2022 | |||
Rainy morning then cleared just enough. Wound up here after finding a school group swarming at Bushrangers. Wouldn't bother doing it again.

To clean Triblet anchor. Final moves to that are awkward at about 16.
