19 yr old Chris Webb produces one of Oz's Hardest!
"On June the 6th I sent the extension to Attack Mode 32 in Nowra and graded it 34 (French, 8c+) I called it "White Ladder", the climb took me nine days to complete, I have talked to some of the other strong boys in the country and they all agree with the grade.
I have also done two other 33's recently sending "Rythem and Stealth" 33 (at Diamond Falls in the Blue Mountains) in one day, third shot, and the first ascent of a project in Nowra that i called "Stranger on the Shore" which i also did in one day, third shot. The climb is in Nowra on Rosie's wall it comes out of "Frosty" and has some cool long moves to gastons followed by little edges. I did the route 3rd shot and I was tired from the day before but i believe the climb to be harder than other 32 I have sent so i gave the 33 grade so time will tell if it's a hard one. I have also been in the Gramps not long ago and I onsighted "Eye of the Tiger" grade 30"
Australia now has two Grade 34's. The other beening Ben Cossey's "Mechanical Animals" at Boronia Point in the Blue Mountains.

If you want to see just how brutal this climb is get a hold of "Coming at Ya Hyper" an Aussie climbing flic with Rob LeBreton attempting the extension to his original "Attack Mode" (Luke)
