Best Araps routes in 40+ heat? 10-Feb-2014 At 12:07:55 PM jprockbelly

Preludes wall and surrounds were wonderful and cool on Saturday, you'd never have known it was 40+ on the plains. It was actually pleasant until about 2:00 and bearable after than if you were keen. We climbed there until about 5pm when the sun started to peep over the top and the shade disappeared.

Red Parrot Chasm was a hit with everyone. The rock was cool to touch and cold air was leaking from the back of the crack! Luckily we'd stopped by bunnings on the way up so I had a 4' piece of PVC pipe to protect the crux, good thing too since my volleys blew a hole in the toe half way up.

Not a mozzie in sight all weekend .... although I was seriously molested by march flies
