I noticed a new route which has been put up left of Ghost Rider at Hillwood. Can someone please let me know the name and first ascent details so I can update the guide.

Thankyou,

Roger has added another craglets update, get it on the Craglets page. New stuff for Crescent Bay, and other bits and pieces.

The Tasmanian Bouldering Guide has passed the 1000 problem mark after I added a bunch of problems at Diamond Island, Bicheno.

It's come along way since Kim's first guide, which had about 100 problems. The first printed guide had about 500. Admittedly there are a couple of hundred projects in that total, but they'll get done one of these days.

I went over to Diamond Island to put up new problems, but most of them had chalk on them already. Anybody want to provide names and grades?

Due to the obvious dissatisfaction of many climbers (both readers and contributors) with ROCK magazine, an idea of a community EZINE has been raised. It would be aimed at the whole climbing community, with content that all climbers find interesting and can relate to.

Rock Magazine or Climbers Cosmo Link?

Rock seems to have become stale and repetitive, to prevent this happening to a new EZINE it has been suggested that each issue have a different editor(s) so that content is more varied. Also this would help keep the EZINE idea alive as it would prevent the "burn out" that surely must be associated with editing issue after issue. (maybe this is part of the problem at rock.)

A poll can be found on cragX

Various formats and models exist for such a EZINE. please put your two cents in.

Remember to be a good read for all it would need contributions from all standards of climbers, from all around Australia. Bumbly to Gun climbers.

Would you help?
