8A's and 8A+'s in Grampians by Katharina Saurwein
Katharina Saurwein has done two 8A+'s in Grampians; Sleepy Hollow and Cave Bitch. On the great picture by Jon Glassberg she is doing The Outsiders 8A.
From Facebook; "I've tried some amazing problems in the last few days, such as 'Sleepy Hollow', 'Nevin Rules' and 'Ammagamma', but I must say the majority of the problems is not as good as I thought. A lot of them don't top out or climb not so good rock. The Grampians are an amazing place though, and the wildlife, crazy sunsets and the views from Mt Stapylton make up for it though!
