In reply to UKC Articles:
Agree with all the above. Its an excellent place, both from the climbing and wildlife points of view. I had a much too short week there about this time last year and although the temperature got to 46'C(!!!), we still managed to climb very early in the morning or late on in the afternoon.
In addition to the excellent guide (buy it just to read even if your not going anywhere near the crag) I'd also recommend the coffee table book "Arapiles: a million mountains" by Keith Lockwood, one of the pioneers and an enduring local stalwart. Very good for the histories (geological, natural, social and climbing) and for and atmosphere of the place and its many characters.
Cheers,
Lex
