Nathan Hoette reports: Lee Cossey has been ripping up the scene here in Australia with a string of hard ascents. The ball started rolling with the coveted 2nd accent of Garth Miller´s Theda Barra at Diamond Falls in the Blue Mountains. Originally graded 33 or 8c , Cossey thought 8b+ or 32 was closer to the mark. He then added Mr Tickle 8b+ to the same crag a few days later commenting that it was significantly harder than the latter! Still rolling he cruised down to the Grampians and today sent Who´s a naughty boy 8b+ or 32 quickly , having worked it for a few days on a previous trip! His scorecard is now on the 8a.nu site, and he´s is currently ranked No.1 in Australia.
