Blog from August, 2018

Hello everyone, my name is Chris. My wife (Devi) and I just moved to Tasmania and are looking to build a Trad Rack. We currently have gear focused toward Top Roping/Sport and are looking to broaden our climbing abilities after a Trad Course at Joshua Tree in LA before we left. We are hoping to gain some insights into which sized cams would be best out here for the local crags around Hobart and even all over the Island. If there is any consensus as to that, it would be very much appreciated since we can't go buying everything just yet but if there is a wide variety then just let us know and we'll do what we can. Thank you for any help, looking forward to meeting some of you around the crags! 

Residents Opposed to the Cable Car

What part of ‘No Cable Car’ do they not understand?
 
In May, thousands of people gathered together to say a resounding NO to the proposed cable car up kunanyi/Mount Wellington.
 
Carlton & United Breweries listened, saying they wouldn’t allow the proponents to use their land because the project does not have community support. That would have been a sensible time for MWCC to walk away from the project. But they haven’t.
 
Instead they want to have a secret meeting with the Council next week to discuss their latest proposal - which is rumoured to be starting from the South Hobart tip. We kid you not!
 
We are sick of the secrecy and will continue to fight this unpopular proposal. It’s irrelevant where it starts from - as our concern is with the impact on the mountain.
 
Will you join us?
 
We’ll be having a snap protest at the gates to the South Hobart tip to show Mount Wellington Cableway Company that their proposed cable car is not wanted at the tip – or anywhere else for that matter.
 
When: 4.15pm, Saturday 4^th August
Where: Waste Transfer Station, McRobies Road, South Hobart
 
We hope to see you there!
