BA - summary of changes between the Eastern Vic guide and thecrag.com:

* A few new problems
* Some changes to grading
* Changed some descriptions to give less beta
* I omitted some really crappy problems
* The stalactite on "Creamy" broke and it hasn't been reclimbed
* Somebody added a climb "Rump Steak" but I don't have a clue where that is.

There is also a couple of small new areas which haven't been added to thecrag.com yet.

For the next guide I'd suggest a snapshot of thecrag.com without the topos and a note saying "This is taken from thecrag.com, for up to date information check there".

Bah, there's no such thing ;-)

Jase, Nick and I have all done it before without the stalactite, I'd still call it V4, just puts it at the harder end of the grade.

Sexy Mexican Milking Maids will be one grade harder I reckon...I almost pulled the move last time I was there and I wasn't 'climb fit'... V7 would be a safe grade.

Has anyone repeated the direct version? That's an awesome problem!

Thanks for the info Paul, I'll update the descriptions to reflect that. Nobody has repeated the direct version yet.

Hopefully with the new gym opening I can get a lot stronger and send a few V4s and V5s.

I've done a copy and paste on the above info but I'll try and remember to get back to you before work on the next edition begins.
