Hey,
My name is Daniel. I am going to be coming to Tasmania around April 8th (give or take a day). I have wanted to climb in Tasmania for a long time and am hoping I can find a partner. I am a confident and experienced climber. I am comfortable leading up to grade 20 (I think this would be the Australian equivalent to 5.10+). I have my shoes and a harness, but no rope or gear. I will more than likely be in Hobart for anywhere from 2 to 5 days, weather dependent. I would love to climb Mt Wellington, Cole's Bay, The Moai, anything really. Please let me know if you would be interested in climbing, or if nothing else, perhaps letting me crash on your floor or couch if you have the room. Cheers!

great, a risk assesment reveals live humans may possibly die if falling off a cliff.
quick install handrails!
I am a German scientist working in Tassie for a couple of months. I would like to climb Federations peak (3 days via farmhouse creek) soon (depending on the weather) and I am looking for someone going with me.
I am experienced in mountaineering (instructor for the German alpine club) and in Tasmanian bushwalking.

Updating and reprinting the Climb Tas selected best guide - new climbs and revamped in full colour. Since the book came out in late 2005, some good new routes have been done around the state. PLease make suggestions as to which of the new routes should be included in the new selected best guide. Especially Pipes, Tas peninsular, Freycinet, Tyndalls. If you have quality high res action photos, there is a guidebook in it for you if it gets published. Mail disc to me c/o 5 Howard St Invermay, 7248 or narkowiczg@lcs.tas.edu.au Thanks
Where do people who live in Hobart train these days?
Woodies in backyards?
Thinking of taking a short-term work posting to Tas but want to make sure I can get some mid-week training, as well as weekends on the rock.
Any advice much appreciated.
From Supertopo, nice historical discussion on the evolution of passive protection:
Don't know what a straw man argument is? Never fear, here's a poster to print out and put up next to your computer:

Has someone left his/her climbing shoes in Waterwork Quarry this afternoon?
Hi,
We are two backpackers who will get to Hobart on tuesday, the 19th. We want to travel and explore tasmania and it would be really gread to do some rockclimbing as well. We climb up to 23/24 and have the basic gear for sportclimbing with us (60m rope, 14 quickdraws...).
Unfortunately, we are both not that into tradclimbing. But we would like to try out in some easy climbs if we find someone who wants to share his rack with us :-) So if there are some locals or other backpackers we could join just text us or send us a message.
