Testpieces at the grade 18-Jun-2003 At 10:14:57 AM (removed)

They sort of need to be classics because a lot of people need to have done them for there to be concensus.

Phil, which ones do you think are soft ? (I've conceded Kachoong but am replacing it with Comic Relief anyway ...)

Perhaps the heading should have been "Benchmarks at the grade" to prevent ambiguity in the title.

I need a better suggstion for 24 (I've done Dreadnought but I don't know how many others do it now) and 27 (whilst CTS at Buandik is a decent route, I'm not sure how many do it / have done it, and surely there's something better ??? - maybe Angular Perspective Pitch 1 ?? The great 27's at Arapiles - Mind Arthritis and Final Departure - see very few ascents and are scary-arse routes). Also, we don't have anything at 30 and 32 or harder yet either. Nor do we have any suggestions at 22 yet either ...

New Image is given 21 in Louise's guide. Maybe Little Thor for 20, it gets enough ascents, that's for sure.
