What's missing from the new Arapiles Guide? 23-Sep-2008 At 8:55:26 AM Rich

Presles better than Araps?? Pull the other one. There's not even a campsite! Atho we did find a pretty sweet vacant block of land. Also has a great town nearby with a river (essential in summer!). Some nice multipitch routes but of course nearly all Europe is sport not bomber trad like Araps. If you're after sport, sure Europe is awesome.

I spent 10 months in 06 climbing around Europe and personally thought the best crag was Verdon but I still thought after it all was said and done that you couldn't beat Araps. Short walk-in access, bomber gear, climbable almost all year round, variety, bomber gear, available partners, cheap camping, long-term camping, cheap(ish) food not too far away and of course bomber gear.

Only downside is that it's not closer to Melbourne (sorry Radelaidians!).
