Slab climbing that's right it's a slap in the face, much complaining and whimpering . Needs a brush to make it nicer.

Vaskina Crash of the Titans
	6c+	★★ Beefcake	Sport 18m	★★ Very Good

Ummm 26 going on 23. If you forced yourself to climb 30cm to the right for one bolt it would be 26 but if you climb the crimps just to the left of the bolt its much easier. Still a quality route but not at the grade.

Ships Prow
	23	★★★ Titanical	Sport 42m	★★★ Classic
Mega Arete led as one giant pitch. Airy position and so much quality arete climbing. Rock quality deteriorates in spots but the moves and air make up for it. Definitely worth a visit, closest and best arete in the Sydney area?
	20	★★ Tree Tornado	Sport 35m, 12	★★ Very Good
Wild position of the grade. Those pockets look sandy but they are bomber. 2nd half of the route is cool face climbing.

	22	★★ The Belles, The Belles	Sport 30m	★ Good
I surprised most people give this 'classic'. It's not even in the same galaxy as 'building a better mousetrap'. The crux was throughly enjoyable but the rest of the route wasnt memorable. Thanks for the rebolt.
