I also think Bloodline is 23. Warlock was okay at 18 but bold. Poxbow doesn't seem worth two stars, but Grey Arete is great at the grade and I think a two-star lead for the grade 10 leaders out there.

Black Hill could use a bit more starring; Milawa may be worth two. Some of the names could do with changing too if you ask me.

'Cimbs at Blackhill currently getting one star but probably worth 2 stars are Sqeal Lik a Pig, Work the Meat, Milawa and Rough Diamond. 2 stars would just highlight the routes that are considerably better than the other one star routes.' ...Totally agree with that. These are quite long routes in some cases, certainly cf You Yangs.

Mt Beckworth is a great place but certainly over-starred. Afternoons 11 is okay, but is it 3 stars??? Taking it Easy 16- How does that get three stars?! Hierachertherium 17 is way better, and has none: it should have two, I think, if you've led it. Bolderdash was more like 18 than 20 (good though) and Lumber Slab is somewhat spoilt by the midway break (it is only 8m long) and it's hard to see the three stars...two, maybe.
