Yep, Milawa is the best route out there at that grade. Give it stars. The only negative is getting to the first bolt - either a bold start on the route proper, or a delicate traverse in from the left arete. For a 17 leader it could be dicy. Has always felt "airy" to me given the landing zone. But, yeah 2 stars!

Agreed, do not remove stars from Witch. It's the best trad lead out there, and I still get spat off it now and then.
