>22 Killer Boas Nowra,
You must be kidding. Average short sport route as the best in the country ? There's gotta be 50 22's better than this between Araps and the Gramps alone. This is a (very) poor man's "Still Life with Chalkbag" ...

>21 A Day at the Beach Nowra
See above. Two moves, sit in a hole, aother two moves, have a sit down, then a four move pumpy finish does not qualify as classic status. Go do Comic Relief for comparison ...

>20 Judgement Day Araps,
I thought this was always 19 ?? A one move climb, with about 10 metres (total) of nice climbing. I'll never understand people's fascination with this route.

>17 Missing Link Araps,
As above. If it didn't have such a great position, no-one would do it.

>16 Brolga Araps,
As above. C'mon, there's gotta be better 16's out there.

I'm putting World Party Pitch 3 as the best 24, and there's some pretty impressive 27's at Araps that no-one does (Mind Arthritis, Final Departure), haven't climbed in the Blueys so I can't comment on them ...
