Possibly but also depends on what kind of climbing you're better at and whether you're looking for the softest touch at the grade or something with good gear and good fall.

Grades are so subjective anyway, there's sure to be heaps of 15's and 16's at araps that're harder than swinging or dirge, so why not aim a little higher so when you're feeling delicate you've got a couple of easier 17's to regain some confidence.

why not skip the araps 17 and head to buff for Angels fear to Tread
