Lets just cut to the chase! Alexander Megos has sent 'Slice of Heaven' 37/9b the hardest line in Australia.

A Slice of Heaven (37) being one of his greatest contributions to his ever growing list of development and growth he has brought to Australia. Ontop of all this Ryan Sklenica has sent his 3rd 36 (originally the hardest grade in Aus). For those counting of the 4 36's in Australia Ryan has sent 3 of them. All his own lines aswell.
