What are your favourite climbs in Vic? 4-Dec-2003 At 6:20:33 PM DC

I thought that this may give some people some new ideas as to climbs they would like to do. So here is the question. What are your 3 most favourite climbs in Vic? What are the grades and style of climbing and why are they your favorite climbs?

My favorites are:

Fortress at Araps, grade 26 mixed climb on mildly over hanging wall. I like the movement, some long moves, some slopers and a bit of grunt at the end.

Tony's route at Araps, grade 19 trad. Awsome first pitch that keeps on going and good gear if you are confident with placing. It start on an overhanging corner that really makes you think, then a little face and finishes the first pitch through some little rooflets that are a lot of fun.

Diazapam at The Gramps, grade 25 sport. A route that keeps you on the edge of your seat the whole way. Crimpy face climbing with a killer second crux when your pumped out of your mind. There is a big space between the last and second last bolt which adds to the thrill.

I'm particularly interested in hearing other peoples favourite climbs in the 18 to 26 grade range.
