I climbed this not long ago.

I know gradings of climbs are always subjective and somewhat inconsistent, but is the Arapiles guide taking the piss when they've called it at 13?

How do you think it compares with other climbs (Arapiles and out yonder) of a similar grade? Do you think Bard/Muldoon/Lamplighter are much easier/harder?

I'm only a novice, the hardest climb I can claim is Rose Ramble in Freycinet (16) and that was a walk in the park compared to Trooper 2!

Anyway. Any feedback is appreciated - especially on recommendations for well protected climbs in the 13-16 bracket to check out.
