Charlotte Durif has onsighted an 8c...
The big crag to the right is Hortus, where there's nothing above 8a.
Daniel Woods and Phillip Schaal are in the Grampians at the moment so i expect there'll be some significant repeats soon. :

We're having the wettest winter in over a decade down here and Western Victoria has been getting the full brunt of it! Relative humidity has barely dropped below 97% in many places (including the Grampians) for three weeks now!
True North got another ascent last week. Richard Waterton this time. Effort, considering wetness on Full Tilt.
Paul Robinson (under fed US wad, not Neighbours bad guy) has repeated Big Fred's 'Monkey Wedding' in Rocklands. He also suggested 8c rather than 8b+ as originally graded.
Buoux Dolomites 8c has had a decent summer:Soloed The Brandler-Hasse in 1 hour 37 minsRedpointed the crux pitches of Pan AromaGot into CambridgeNot bad for an alpinist!
However, I am not a man that can cope with constant failing (dos any such man exist?), so I allowed myself the occasional ´success´ of attempting routes more suited to my style - steep and physically demanding – and at the same time, ticking off classics like Lourdes 8a, and unnamed 8c at La Murla, Spain (see pic), and falling from pretty much the last move (can you grab the chain on this one?) on Unjustified, 8B+, on my second try – i´ll hopefully get back soon to finish it off!
