What a route, full commit fun.
Got lucky in a few spots and very pumped by the end of the traverse. Good gear in all the right spots just wish there was move of it

Nice to tick off another araps Classic. Not that hard but super fun at the grade with great gear and a awesome mix of styles and climbing. I found the last layback section the hardest.

23 | ★★ The Seventh Banana Pitch 1 | 20m | Mt Stapylton Amphitheatre | ★★★ Classic | Tue 9th Jul 2013 | |||
The last pitch of my grampians trip, sent in the setting sun on one of the best walls in the world.
Plus the climb is very good as well, good times.

23 | ★★ Pocket Full of Dreams | 25m, 2 | Victoria Range | ★★★ Classic | Mon 5th May 2014 | |||
Very good line and I am very glad the the first bolt has been replaced. Its all about trust in your rubber on the start the trust in your hands on the damp holds at the top of the run out.

23 | ★★ Variance | 18m, 4 | Victoria Range | ★★ Very Good | Tue 5th May 2015 | |||
Sadly not as good as I was hoping Some cool moves for sure and great rock but it kind of cuts left when the going gets tuff.

23 | ★★★ Mr Siegel | 18m, 6 | Blue Mountains | ★★★ Classic | Sat 27th Dec 2014 | |||
Sweet climb with many funky moves and cool holds. The start move to a pocket is tricky and would be pretty hard for the short. The rest of the route is a great mix of styles and rest holds. Save some gas for the top.
Worth bringing a couple of cams down for sure.

Just like an arapiles steep trad gully grovel but in all the best ways. The steep groove start kept trying to spit me out but like a tick I dug in and up to easier ground up and left. Great layback finish with bomber gear.

23 ~22 | ★★★ Intransience | 25m | Arapiles | ★★ Very Good | Tue 19th Sep 2023 | |||
No pressure lap on Paul’s gear. Fun enough with plenty of run up top but over good gear.
Would be 21 at Shipley with bolts

45 metres of pumpy orange goodness. Andy onsighted the full climb then lowered back the the top of the first pitch. I second the first pitch with some wild and hard traverse moves then keep plugging to flash top pitch. Pretty dang pumped at the cliff top. Windy!!

Found the knee bar Thom missed on the onsite. No to hard but good climbing.

23 | ★★ Diminishing Returns (Top Half) | 30m, 5 | Victoria Range | ★★★ Classic | Tue 6th May 2014 | |||
Super, reminded me of some of the first pitch routes on taipan. A great find Kent.
Linking unlikely pockets on great rock.

23 | ★★★ Spoilt Mercy (Link-up) | 32m, 10 | Blue Mountains | ★★ Very Good | Sat 21st Mar 2020 | |||
Another great route on this wall but a touch more pumper then I would have liked for a warm up. Has a taipan feel about it after the crimp traverse.

Back dated
Got all hot and bothered on my first shot, cleaned it up second. Climbs better then it looks and is really good fun. It was a bit tricky to fine the holds the first time. |

23 A1 25 | ★ Screaming Tribesman | 280m, 1 | Bungonia Gorge | ★ Good | Sat 26th Jul 2014 | |||
We attempted the top 3 pitches after climbing iron curtain. Onsighted the sweet but very pumpy 23 trad pitch. Paul gave the 25 pitch a solid crack but was shut down by dirty rock and it went down hill from there.
This pitch could be good with a good scrub.
Got lost all most linking the next two pitches to the top. Very scary and dirty slabs to the top. Would be great with a scrub but with mostly interesting and average gear I was terrified.

23 | ★★ I've Heard It All Before | 230m, 99 | Mount Brown Main Face | ★★ Very Good | Mon 5th Jan 2015 | |||
Big wall'in on a big sea cliff.
Pay close attention to the rap description, as andy and myself got off line and a rope stuck. Poor andy had to prussic 40 odd metres to free the rope and a big swing by myself to get back on line.
We did the 20 start with a wild and memorable belay 3m above the surging sea. Make sure you climb left on the second pitch.. The two hard pitches up top are great fun with the 23 crux crack boulder problem awesome fun. |

23 | ★★★ Walking Wounded | 20m, 4 | Blue Mountains | ★★★ Classic | Sat 11th Aug 2012 | |||
Repeat.
EOD send to clean the draws off. Bomber climbing and solid at 23.
Bring a #3 camalot for the bottom.

Good to finally get back to lead this tuff corner. Paul made it look easy, I still found it hard. Great stemming corner with such good rock and a great slab seam up the top.
