Arapiles


"Arapiles : selected climbs" by Simon Mentz and Glenn Tempest

The new second edition of “Selected climbs” makes the best use of publishing's capabilities.
It has natural colour photographs, many with the routes superimposed on top. The fold-out front cover has a panoramic landscape view of Arapiles and Mitre Rock and has the names the major peaks and cliffs below.
There's chapter on the history of rockclimbing at the Mount, with bios and photos of some of the pioneer climbers who have lived in Nati, or stayed at the Pines camping ground.
In total there are 1,200 selected climbs, 154 colour topos, grading and descriptions of the climbs, belay points, sun/shade icons for when in the day to go or avoid .
