Melbournes Best Bluestone Walls 3-Feb-2004 At 3:40:15 PM (removed)

It's only 22 because of how long it is. There's no move above about 16 from the bits I've played on (in runners, it's next to my jogging route). By Neil's interpretation of the Ewbank grading system, it's 16.

The trouble is that the feet are not at all polished, really quite grippy. You can just stand there and rest all day once you find anything more than a joint for your fingers. The real pump is to be had at Richmond beause of the poor feet. You end up pseudo-campusing on some of the harder eliminates. Massive pump.

Still, Edgewater is in a much nicer location (overlooking the river ... and the high tension power lines), although for those going by public transport, you will be dispappointed as it's a train and a bus away.

Check it out for yourself.

I also can't stress how long this wall is. 150m is no exaggeration at all.
