How hard is that then?

Klem Loskot opened an 8b+ in the Grampians too - V14, CaveRave :-



This is the crux move apparently

You're not wrong - it's the same cave, and this problem is also V14, but is apparantly harder than "Cave Rave".

Someone said there's a potential V16 linkup in that cave, i think Mr F. Nicole?

For me, and i can be whipped by a thousand smokers tothbrushes till i admit otherwise, this was the most unispiring venue on the whole of the grampians circuits. Grafitti, bit of litter, 55min approach uphill(and i mean uphill!) and what is essemtially a giant cellar roof!Just cos its hard doesnt make for good climbing
Sorry, just my opinion!

Lucien, why haven't you written up your extensive travels for the article section on here? I keep hearing snippets of what you did (like the Chatanooga sandstone stuff), but I'd like to know more. I might be saddled with two kids nowadays, but I can still dream.

Get scribbling, and let us all know what's hot and what's not (i.e. shite) on the international circuit.

Cheers, Simon.
