Viparette is a sandbag with not much gear.
Atomic Punk I thought hard
Hotel california first pitch is 22 - but you can pull thorugh (HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO POST THIS??)

Remember that grades are heavier in the "older" areas - piddington, york, cosmic

My picks are:

Shipley - Weak as I am (and there are warm ups for under 22 leaders too nearby)
Wallys World (22)

Porters Pass: Chasing Amy(21) Angry Beavers (22) (and there are harder things that are really nice there too such as the awesome "Bareback" two pitch - 23 then 25 (plug plug plug!!)) Nylon happy (23, easy)/So said the king(21)/these cats are full of milo (23)

Bardens lookout: Lady Stardust (22, not to be missed)/Hang onto yourself(22)/Starman (21)/Low(21)/Electric Blue (19, mixed gear - excellent)

Pierces pass: Take someone whos been before - Hotel California (you can pull through on the harder move on the first pitch if you like - there is a bolt there)/mirrorball

Meadlow bath: like a cut snake/smoko

Piddington: Judas-Messiah exit connection (19)/ The Phantom (13 - awesome, can be done in 1 pitch but watch for drag)/Tombstone wall (15)
Pindari: This sporting life (19-21 depending on how you feel)/House of meat/much of a muchness(22)/rampaging roy(21)

Cosmic and the railway cliffs: Exploding zombies (20)/Colditz(21)/The belles the belles (22)

Other appropriate places: The freezer

sorry for all the great places i missed...
