Hi Ian,

I see you want to clip bolts at around grade 18 AUS grading. Hmm. There won't be many routes for you to do. Here's a bolted route hit list for you. (These are the routes we put people on that are new to the grade). Apart from that, I reckon you should strap on a trad rack at Arapiles.

"Cassandra". Mt Arapiles. Grade 18 bolted route needs 1 wire.

"The Tyrants Grasp". Amnesty Wall (near Sandanista Cliff). Bolted grade 22 with sit down rest half way. Nice big holds. Most people's first 22 sport route.

"Enter Sandman". Mt Bundaleer. Bolted grade 22.

"Terminal Insomnia". Van Diemens Land. Bolted grade 22 needs 1 wire or cam.

"The Floating Cloud". Millenium Caves. Bolted grade 23. Jump start, or reach past it if you're tall. Features a sit down rest 2/3 of the way up.

"Chain of Fools". The Gallery. Bolted grade 23. Stupidly massive handholds.
"Weave World". The Gallery. Bolted grade 23. A bit harder than "Chain of Fools".

"Spinal Tap". Red Rocks. Bolted grade 23. Leave this one till last - it is probably the hardest of the lot in this list because you'll need to learn a little technique on the other routes.

Have fun!
