Australia Victoria North West Arapiles Closed Declaration Crag Area Declaration Crag | |||||
20 | ★ Brit Milah
High traverse that circumscribes the wall above 'Deck Games'. The original purpose of the 'mystery' bolt. Start at the top of 'Deck Gully' at the obvious traverse line. There is gear that protects the step out to clip the bolt. Scamper along the traverse line clipping a bolt on Gordy's route till you get to the front of the block. up and belay. FA: Mark Wood, Ben Storey & Steve Wilson, 2011 | 12m, 2 | |||
19 R | ★ Slip Knot
Start 1m right of 'Sagittarian' and up poorly protected wall just right of the bolts. FA: Kevin Lindorff, Mike Law & Mike Stone, 1977 | 12m | |||
20 | ★★★ Little Thor
The lovely right-facing flake corner bordering the left side of the great blankish north-west wall. It's a pity that it gets heavily top-roped. Climb the right-facing corner with hard moves past the little roof then keep cranking up slightly left to the top. Gear has a habit of unzipping on people; consider placing a directional at the start and being generous with the draws. FA: Ian Guild & Peter Smith, 1965 FFA: Ian Lewis & Joe Friend, 1974 | 12m | |||

Australia Victoria North West Arapiles Colosseum Wall Area Colosseum Wall | |||||
20 | ★★ Christian Crack
Excellent sustained climbing up the line with great pro. A borderline classic. There are two striking cracks on the wall on the left side of Colosseum Wall - this is the left one. Ann Pauligk's 1977 ascent was the first Aussie female ascent at this grade. FA: Chris Baxter & Andrew Smith, 1966 FFA: Joe Friend, 1974 | 13m | |||
19 | Brutus
The corner then finish R. Start 1m R of 'Tom Thumb'. FA: Peter Martin, Rob Tymms & Mark Savage, 1990 | 20m | |||
19 | Roman Ite Domum
The wall right of 'Flavius Maximus'. This was also written up as 'Tribute To God' in the April 2009 Argus. Over block to undercling, then straight up wall to top. Protection in crack on left of wall. FA: Richard Smith & Greg Pritchard, 1996 | 10m | |||
20 | I've Got A Big Honker
The usual claim of those who don't... Start 8m R of FM. To break (wire on left), then right to bulge. FA: Sam Blainey & Andrew White, 1991 | 12m | |||
Australia Victoria North West Arapiles King Rat Area The Pimple | |||||

Australia Victoria North West Arapiles King Rat Area White Mice Walls | |||||
20 | ★ Bermuda Triangle
The corner, then R around the roof. Start: Start beneath the distinctive orange triangular roof towards the L end of the crag. FA: Roland Pauligk & Barry Edwards, 1977 | 12m | |||
19 | Bridge of Thighs
Very contrived as it's much easier to use jugs just L. Start: Start 5m R of T&Q. FA: Keith Egerton, Kieran Loughran, Peter Watson & Rob Thompson, 1982 | 20m | |||
20 | Ddark Ddigit
Easy wall, orange rock, then L under overhangs to arete. Up it. Start: Start 30m L of 'Light Fingered' (which is described on a separate page). FA: Rod Young & Tim Chapman, 1981 | 40m | |||
20 | A Sore Thumb
Easily to pillar then flake up R. L below bulge and up seam. Start: Start at obvious slender buttress between DD and 'Light Fingered'. FA: Jon Muir, Geoff Little & Maureen Gallagher, 1988 | 40m | |||
Australia Victoria North West Arapiles King Rat Area Light Fingered Gully Upper Hunger | |||||
20 | The first six inches
Bridge up to gain flake and climb up to roof. Swing through roof. Start: Start: Three metres right again is another flake. FA: Jon Bassindale, Greg Pritchard & Richard Smith, 1999 | 20m | |||
20 | Voices in my head
Anyone who isn't paranoid lacks imagination. A technical onsight lead. Continue down the gully past a short step. Directly under the narrowest part of the gully there is a shallow black corner which leans right and runs up to a series of roofs and overhangs. Directly above the start of this route there is a thin crack through a large overhang. The line shown in the topo is a guess. FA: Jon Bassindale, Greg Pritchard, James Falla. (Improved LHF by Jon Bassindale & Nikki Sutherland), 2000 | 21m | |||
20 | Gutless Gutless Bunny
Start: Continue down the wall from SSHSEBI5. The wall gets smaller and grey and then rises again with steep orange rock. On the left of this section is a line (starting just left of the hole) that goes up past a large pocket. Up line. FA: Paul Hoskins & Richard Smith, 1999 | 15m | |||

19 R | ★ Coke Adds Life
Climb brittle edges with minimal protection to the horizontal break (optional gear if you choose to head diagonally right from the initial jug to a shallow groove).

20 | So Help Me God

Australia Victoria North West Arapiles Pilot Error Cliffs Pilot Error Area | |||||
20 | ★★ Pilot Error
More than popular One move wonder. Start: Start at far left hand end of ledge. Pilot Error is graded as 20 in the Mentz & Tempest Arapiles Guide Book. FA: Ian Anger, 1980 | 12m, 1 | |||

FA: Simon Mentz & Louise Shepherd, 1991 | 40m, 2 | |||
20 | ★★ Excuse me Lex
Link up of Excuse me While I Belch into 2nd pitch of Lex Luthor. No stepping onto the massive chockstone. Do as one big pitch to get grade 20. Can lower off with 60m rope. | 32m | |||
19 | ★ Excuse Me While I Belch
Start as for E. Bridge chimney for 8m then tricky face moves to join a wide L-facing flake/crack. FA: Louise Shepherd & Nicky Sunderland, 1991 | 17m | |||
Australia Victoria North West Arapiles Atridae Cassandra Area | |||||
19 | ★ The Last Disco Dancer
Technically interesting climbing up the wall L of 'Cassandra'. Clip the first bolt on 'Cassandra' then veer L and up past three more bolts. The crux moves are pulling past the final bolt into a bottomless crack/pocket. A few slabby moves off L gains the ledge and the lower-off anchors. FA: Glenn Tempest & Karen Tempest, 29 Jun 2015 | 18m, 4 | |||
20 R | Permanent Wave
Start: Start in the gully at the base of the arete R of 'Cassandra'.

Australia Victoria North West Arapiles Atridae Agamemnon Area | |||||
20 | Nanga Parbat Solo
Start R of Clytemnestra at a little gully heading towards Agamemnon. Take the thin crack on the L arete. Scramble off. FA: Mike Law & solo, 1982 | 10m | |||
20 | ★★★ Wizard of lce
Possibly the best crack at Arapiles. The diagonal elephant's butt crack is a classic of the genre. Start just left of Agamemnon and finish where that route does. Belaying off the rings is not ideal but there are some excellent features to sling. FA: Kim Carrigan & Mike Law, 1975 | 35m | |||
19 | ★★ Electra
Originally 18 - it's still solid at 19! The Pauligks' aid wasn't actually at the crux - theirs was an awesome effort for 1966. The appealing crack on the L side of the beautiful orange front face of the buttress. Follow crack till it finishes then step R and up Careful of the rock up higher. FA: Roland Pauligk & Ann Pauligk, 1966 FFA: Bryden Allen †, 1973 | 40m | |||
19 | ★★ Telemachus
Great sustained climbing with great protection the whole way. Start a few metres right of Electra. Can lower off with 65m rope. FA: Kevin Lindorff & Glenn Tempest, 1977 | 35m | |||
Australia Victoria North West Arapiles Organ Pipes Area Organ Pipes Gully Steel Delinquency Pinnacle | |||||
20 | Steel Delinquency
"If you enjoy crumbling sea cliffs, you might feel at home on this" (Mentz-Tempest guide). Climb through moss to a ledge, to stand below the striking grey prow. Some gymnastic moves are required to get started, and if your second is not tall they will struggle to remove the gear you placed out of their reach at this point. Follow the line of pockets up, veering left at the end. FA: Glenn Tempest & Kevin Lindorff, 1977 | 18m | |||
Australia Victoria North West Arapiles Organ Pipes Area Organ Pipes Gully Organ Pipes Gully Left Side Good and Evil Blocks | |||||

Australia Victoria North West Arapiles Organ Pipes Area Organ Pipes Gully Organ Pipes Gully Right Side | |||||
19 | What Is Carborized?
Start 1m R of Private Detective. Go diagonally R, across Stentor pitch 3, and up arete. The Direct Start (18) starts 3m R of Stentor's 3rd pitch and goes straight up to the arete. Note the March 2004 route dubbed "Skin Flute" (14m 18) by Shaun Kratzer and Joshua Janes is almost certainly a repeat of this Direct Start. FA: Jon Muir, Brigitte Muir (DS done by Louise Shepherd & Enga Lokey), 1994 | 18m | |||
19 | ★★ A Twist of Lemming
Start just L of Lemmington. The shallow groove, becoming very contrived to stay out of Lemmington. FA: Paul Hoskins & Greg Pritchard, 1995 | 15m | |||
19 | ★★★ Lemmington
Has steadily increased it's reputation over the years, and is now considered by some to be one of the best 19s at Arapiles. Start in the chasm between the D Minor Pinnacle and the Piccolo Pinnacle, on the Piccolo side. Approach by going L around the back of D Minor Pinnacle. The logs and chain in the gully are for erosion control; they are not designed or to be used as belay anchors. FA: Kevin Lindorff & Matt Taylor, 1976 | 30m | |||
Australia Victoria North West Arapiles Organ Pipes Area Organ Pipes D Minor Pinnacle | |||||
20 | ★★ Cadenza
Start at the left-leading diagonal crack. Follow it into the easy chimney on Cadenza Direct and up to the sloping ledge. Traverse 5m right to a tricky exit. FA: Michael Stone & Ian Speedie, 1965 FFA: Andrew Thomson, 1975 | 20m | |||
20 | Semi-Quaver
Fairly good climbing culminating in the left arete of D Minor. The strenuous crux past the last bolt is a little contrived though. Start at a short diagonal finger crack 3m right of the Quaver chimney.
FA: Kieran Loughran & Meg Sleeman. 1990s., 1994 | 30m, 2, 3 | |||

Australia Victoria North West Arapiles Organ Pipes Area Organ Pipes The Red Wall & Toccata Wall | |||||
19 | ★ Wyrd
Funky climbing and route-finding. The moves up to the roof are committing. Start on the left side of the grey pedestal. FA: Mike Law & Matt Taylor, 1976 | 50m | |||
20 | ★★★ Tannin Direct
Makes a good change. FA: Jon Muir, Tony Dignan & Geoff Little., 1985 | 20m | |||
19 | ★★★ Tannin
Fantastic climbing on gorgeous peachy rock, many climbers' favourite 19 at Araps. Chains at top (32m). Videos FA: Andrew Thomson & Dave Mudie, 1976 | 35m | |||
19 | ★ F Sharp
This good crack system is the only surviving piece of a long-forgotten girdle traverse of the Organ Pipes. Perhaps it would have had more credibility if it had started with a tyrolean from the top of the D Minor Pinnacle. Five old carrot bolts are scattered along the beginning of the route though most are near more reliable natural protection. The good climbing is over too soon and gives way to easy moves on dubious rock. Start at a little corner below and right of The Wraith. Take care to set the belayer where they will not kick loose rock down the gully onto people below (or better yet, eliminate this risk entirely by starting up Low F instead). FA: Chris Baxter & Tim Hancock, 1970 FFA: Chris Baxter, Kevin Lindorff & Mike Stone, 1976 | 40m | |||
20 | Low Note
The original approach to what eventually became Jen's Roof. Bridge up the gully left of Dirge then out right to short thin crack. From crack go right into Dirge and up this to roof on right. Hand-traverse right on the lip of the roof to where there is now a FH, then up steep jugs to chains. FA: Kieran Loughran & Chris Baxter., 1984 | 30m | |||
19 | ★★ Low F (linkup)
A good way to do the good bit of F Sharp from the ground. Start up Dirge for 8m, move left and up Low Note to the base of the diagonal, and follow this up L into the business of F Sharp. When it gets easy head R to the chains and lower off back to the ground. It's possible to clean your own gear (with admin), but much better to have someone second it. | 35m | |||

19 | Running Scared
A traverse of Brick Wall. A strange concept that has been superseded by Brickeasy. Start as for Brick Dust Up Brick Dust for one move, then r across Squeakeasy to easier traversing. FA: Chris Baxter & Mike Stone, 1975 | 20m | |||
19 | ★★ Quisling
Some people find this quite hard - but it's not 20! Start 5m R of Squeakeasy. Polished face to pedestal, L into the line which is quite steep over the bulge, then the corner. At 25m walk 5m L to Squeakeasy's rap anchor. FFA: Joe Friend & Ian Lewis, 1974 FA: Chris Baxter & Peter Watling, 1974 | 30m | |||

20 | Beautiful Possibilities Direct Start
Boulder the start. FA: Michael Woodrow, 1991 | 36m | |||
19 | ★★ Possibly Beautiful
If you enjoyed Golden Fleece, you want to do this too. A little bit more tricky. Start 1m R of Golden Fleece. Up the little pillar - or step into it after a move or two. Up the thin cracks to join GF at the ledge, then up and slightly right. FA: John Smart & John Smoothy, 1979 | 28m | |||
20 | ★ Mind Games
Start 6m right of Jason. Up past horizontal, then the groove, and head R after bulge. The hanging block at the end of the crux sounds pretty hollow. FA: Rod Young & Jeremy Boreham, 1978 | 25m | |||

Australia Victoria North West Arapiles Central Gully Central Gully Left Shattered Buttress | |||||
20 | Glass Goblin
Yet to be determined whether it actually lives up to the impressive hype job, which goes like this: "That's the best move I've done in my life" - James. And: "This would be an OK route if it wasn't for the second pitch which makes it fantastic!" Start: Start. Left of 'Shattered' there is a diagonal seam/crack (L-R). Right of this a thin crack allows runners. The crux is getting from the runners left and up into the line. It is possible to start to the left if you don't want any gear. As it is the upper part of the crack is a bit go-ey.
Later ascents have confirmed that they were on really excellent drugs. The climbing is rubbish. FA: James Falla & Greg Pritchard, 1999 | 25m, 2 | |||

Australia Victoria North West Arapiles Central Gully Upper Central Gully Mari Buttress | |||||
20 | ★★ Electric Warrior
An excellent route with hard bits down low and up high. Start below the major crack on the right side of the wall, 2m L of the Droop Street arete. Move up to the seam to a tricky move, then enjoyable climbing follows to a solid finger crack at the top. FA: Glenn Tempest, Joe Friend & John Chapman, 1976 | 30m | |||
19 | Up In My Bedroom
As you walk off the top of Mari Buttress you pass under some large boulders. This route takes the twin cracks just up from the small climb down. Up righthand crack. Climb both to little roof. Step back into righthand crack to top. The hardest move is the first one. Up to the roof, step left onto the foothold and crank. FA: Richard Smith & Jon Bassindale, 1999 | 10m | |||
