Now that I have your attention here is the actual topic:

One of the activities of my Tassie road trip will most likely be walking out to the Totes - I haven't ever seen it and I hear it's pretty spectacular. Whilst there is there an opportunity to do any toproping? I'm looking for both easy and hard grades (though I'll settle for hard).

When are you going? It shouldnt be too hard to go and climb the tote. Plenty of climbers camp nearby.

The wall under and left of (facing out) the rap route has some sensational-looking and presumably unclimbed cracklines.
There's a higher set of anchors you can scramble down to that might be useful, too.

Theres a hex stuck in the hand crack, im willing to bet it was climbed in the 70's. Theres abolted 24 call Swell Repeller(?) i think that you can access from the abseil anchor. Theres some sharp edges and loads of loose rocks near the edge. Have you read Paul Pritchards account of climbing the tote?

You'll want to arrange a partner, as while there are sometimes people about its hard to find them beforehand.
