Excellent! thanks to Claude, Hannes, Aris and others for keeping the interest for the oldest visitors !

[Bigpete]

Not sure Pimousse is 6a, I thought more like 5b+/5c

[mike9jr]

Some excellent additions, thanks.

Re. Hot Potatoes.
Very poor rock on this. The rock is very soft under the crumbling black top surface.

Re. Ermis. Music note route, great climbing.

Chilean Monster is about 7c, 7c+ max. Definitely not 8a+!
