I was up around Crag X yesterday and just wondering if anyone has climbed up there or knows about the routes up there...specifically, on the main crag, the arete to the right of Visit form the Footbinder (mentioned in the Vic Ranges guide as being worked on by Steve Monks) and the route to the right of that with the wierd looking ring bolts going up the flake. Name, grade, bolt quality etc...?
Also, if anyone has done Labyrinths, is it as good as it looks (it looks stellar) and is the gear any good (the guide mentions a fixed rp...).
Incidentally, on the walk in there are some new bolted routes on a small buttress and large block. The first one you come to is actually very enjoyable (for a low 20's 4 bolt route) despite it's appearance.
Even more obscurely, high up on the ridge way past Crag X (but to the right of the Grandstand) is a large leaning wall that has a route up it's right hand side - 2 old bolts lead to a great looking steep corner. Anyone know anything about it?
