Dude - may I humbly suggest you try something less committing if you have not been climbing for a while. What you are thinking of is a big day out. Try some of the easier classics on the Organ Pipes (Mt Wellington) such as Fiddlesticks (14***) or Moonraker (16***) to see how you go.

Arapiles has a huge range of fantastic easy classics such as Tiptoe Ridge (4***), Exodus (6**) etc etc.

There is a bunch of great easier climbing to be had. I hope you enjoy them before committing to such a big day out. 6 hours for a route of that length (regardless of the grade) sounds very conservative - maybe if you were in top form you could do it in that time. I would suggest you allow at least double if you do plan on trying it.

Climb safe & enjoy.
