The two new routes below home james are currently graded 20/21 and 22/23, the bolt visible from the belay is the top of "back in an hour" (21ish) 5 bolts, and "don't spare the horses" starts two meters right on the same ledge 4 bolts. BIAH and HJ are a consistent link up and DSTH & Silver Shadow 22/23 ( which takes line of bolts direct to the top from 2nd bolt on HJ) is a consitent link up as well. Access to the base is not via vortex but higher via the base of the body heat block. Better to rap anyway, lets save on the foot traffic post fire in this area. If anyone wants to do the second ascent of these and confirm grades Kev and I would love to see what you reckon about quality (ie ***) and grade for the new guide. And a photo from the ledge for a topo would also be great!
