How can you fail to find belays on Arachnus? I mean, seriously. We really can't sanitise climbs to be safe for all. Bumblies (and I still class myself as one) should be sensible enough to start their apprenticeships on climbs they can't fall off that start at the ground. There is a danger that expectation can lead to more danger rather than more safety. Arapiles is the ideal place to learn trad because the gear is (generally) so plentiful and so good. It's hard to make is any simpler than that. No rant intended about this particular case. Fear must remain our friend. Complacency is the enemy, not fear.
