Forgot my wrench and brush today. :/ I'll probably get to these within the next week or two, but...

Baby wall needs some serious love from the steel brush, particularly 'Brazilian Wax Job', and 'Baby Shoe'. Slow to dry atm.

Top bolt (crux) on 'Lucky Rocketship underpants' needs a turn or two.

How is the climbing there? Live in Victoria and I am thinking about bringing a crew there. Lots of routes? Has to be better than what we have in Vic.

  Somewhere around 40 routes. Pretty fun. It's conglomerate, so it's mostly pebble pinching.

There's a guide book available at MEC over there, and that's a good idea to pick up or at least peruse. If you want to bring trad gear there's a ton of cracks, esp at the base of the main walls, although it's pretty adventurous.

Lots to do in the boulders below Maxwell if you don't mind a little scrubbing/cleaning.

Shoot me a PM if you want my phone #, any other info, or a tour if our schedules coincide.
