Blog from November, 2021

Hi all! Hobart City Council Bushcare and Crag Care are running a Freuhauf working bee this Sunday (28th) from 9.30am to 12 noon! There's still spots so come along! We'll be weeding and looking afer reveg. Register here: https://wildcaretas.org.au/event/1000001893/

Please note Freuy will be closed during the working bee!

Drainage above Fruehauf

Since the houses have been built on top of Fruehy it doesn't stop seeping. Even after small rains it takes forever to dry. The reason is that the water drainage from the roads and houses directs all the water on top of the cliff. So instead of the grassy area that used to soak up all the water we now have a rivulet draining onto the climbs. Half of the cliff has been unclimbable most of days in the last weeks (and not just because of the rainy days). Is there anyone with a good connection to the council to achieve that the drainage gets redirected a bit further away from the climbs? Or do we have to dig a trench ourselves? Our afterwork cliff has been pretty busy lately but there were only about 3.5 climbable routes. 

Hi team, would anyone have objections to me replacing the tat at the top of third bird with rap anchors? Someone may have already done it, thought I'd put it on my to do list this season 

Our first Crag Care Organ Pipes working bee!
We need volunteers to help carry out track work to manage erosion around Flange and Northern Buttress on Sunday 14 November. The Hobart City Council Bushcare program will provide the training and tools, you bring the psyche (and also drinking water, covered shoes, snacks/lunch etc.)!
