20 | ★ Billy Bunter Right-hand Variant | 16m | Moonarie | ★ Good | Fri 15th Apr 2022 | |||
The direct finish is better.
|
||||||||

Nothing special for Buoux.

Keeps you working, particularly starting from the ground.

Saved for a hot afternoon, but in the sun anyway!

|
||||||||
20 19 | ★★★ Judgement Day | 67m, 1 | Arapiles | ★★★ Classic | Sat 7th Jan 2006 | |||
The delicate second pitch might be the best climbing. But no way this is a 20, 19 is fine.
|
||||||||
