>Tasman Peninsula

'...The Swell Repeller 55m 24 [sport]
Two pitches of stunning arętes and all bolts. A great bad weather option when the Tote is being hammered by the swell. Fix a 60m rope to double rings as for the Totem Pole descent but rap diagonally towards the ocean (south east) heading down a scungy corner to a ledge. Continue rapping down wall below to arrive at double FHs on small ledge just left of knife blade aręte about 5m above the ocean. Pitch One 40m 24 – Climb amazing sustained aręte past 10 FHs that get fairly spaced as you get higher. Belay at vegetated ledge at DBB. Pitch Two 15m 20 – Up thin crack splitting aręte above with great exposure to small ledge. Sling tooth with large sling and climb easily to top. Belay off the Tote’s rap rings.

GOOD STUFF !!! WELL DONE EL NEILIO !!!:-))

That trade-route is soooooooooo out of character with the the evolution of the climbing culture at Mt Arapiles ... 5 BIG JUICY RING-BOLTS would make for the perfect warm-up climb... before heading over to Trojan , armed with a rack of 'draws ...
