cool
Well lets start a list anyways
I shall exclude most climbs below grade 15 as they are from the dark ages and nobody really knows....

9 Tourist Route 1936 - Dr Dark - Crater Bluff
17 Witch or Lieben
19 Werewolf ?
21 Janicepts 1974 - M Law - Piddington 2nd 21 Conquistidor
22 The Kraken 1972 - B Allen - piddington
23 - -Henry Barber blues somewhere????
26 Procul ?
32 punks in the Gym Araps

I believe the araps guide lists a few Oz firsts at the grade.
Also I'm using the first free ascents not first ascents hence the grade 21/22 date weirdness
