Seeking playmates

I moved to Tassie recently, am always keen to get out on local crags, and only know a handful of local climbers. So please get in touch if you need a Freycinet partner, or are happy to climb in party with 3+. Have rack, always happy to belay better climbers for chance to improve skills & fitness.
Will travel elsewhere in Tas, naturally

Currently the description for Exocet reads:

★★★ 38. Exocet  48m  26  
A total classic. 1. 18m 17. Climb up No More Mr Nice Guy to the traverse line and then continue up corner to DBB. 2. 18m 26. The pumpy thin crack up the overhanging arete and around the corner passing a bolt (crux) to another DBB. 3. 10m 17. The nice hand and offwidth to the top.

It should read:

★★★ 38. Exocet  48m  26  
A total classic. 1. 18m 17. Climb up No More Mr Nice Guy to the traverse line and then build a gear belay at a comfortable stance in the corner. 2. 18m 26. Climb the pumpy thin crack up the overhanging arete and around the corner to a DBB. Note that the bolt that protects the crux moves around the corner is missing and while the route is still adequately protected for the leader, a fall from the crux by the second will result in a massive swing into space and an obligatory prussic up the rope. 3. 10m 17. Follow the nice hand crack to the top.

Note:

1) No DBB atop P1

2) Missing crux bolt

3) P3 has no OW

Found Shoes on Organ Pipes

A pair of blue 5.10 velcro Anasazi were found today at the base of the Northern Buttress below the rap station. I can leave them at Rock It for collection if convenient or meet otherwise.
