Climbing in Mount Arapiles

Yes!! This is the paradise of the traditional climbing: Strong rock, Heaps of gear to protect, no bolts and heaps and heaps of routes.
I arrived just wih my rock climbing shoes and an harness, so I neede to find someone to climb with. This is not problem in "The Pines" campground, plenty of climbers looking for partner.
We stayed there just a couple of days but the climbing was intense and I met some cool people to climb with.

Zack and Ander, a couple of americans I climbed with the first day. Nice and strogn young people, I hope to see them again...

Abseling from the end of the climb route D minor.

Ben, my climbing buddy from Brisbane. F. good climber, strong and wise. Awesome climbing day!! Non stopping.

That's the typical belaying station in Arapiles, not many blod on the rock, but plenty of gear, you see...


Awesome views from the Gnull Major top.


Climbing in a "3 stars" climb , mate, too much adrenaline! Great feelings.


Suffering to arrive...not fit enough...



Finally, at the top of route, really satisfied.


Happy end for an awesome climbing days!! Thanks Ben!!
