Well the Araps trip is pretty much over, we’re on the boat tomorrow night. We’ve had a bit of rain the last few day (which meant a lot of card games) but we still managed to get out and do some climbs. I fell on Kachoong, wheeeeee….. Alex onsighted it and Oli had 1 fall, pulled the rope and finally sent it after, what 6 years?… Nice one Oli 
I managed to Onsight “Squeakeasy” 22 it defiantly wasn’t easy, I didn’t stop to put in any gear during the second crux and mid crux i thought i was about to fall, looked down at my last piece of gear and knew that wouldn’t be pretty if I did so goated for a just and made it, just
Deano has finished every climb in the Arapiles Selected Climbs guide grade 12 and under. Deano and I went and did his log problem, that was scary =/
It’s been an awesome trip, lots of new climbs (see full list below) didn’t make it to the Grampians (Again) and didn’t try “Trojan” or “Mr Joshua” will have to toughen up and look at them next time
