Re: Launceston City Council Chops Cataract Gorge Bolts
Oh and while I'm thinking about it, I'm extremely impressed with the Launceston City Council Rock Climbing Code of Conduct. I've got quite an interest in climbing policy and land manager climbing related signage/publications and that is amongst some of the most well thought-out and clearly laid out work I've comeRe: Maria island climbing?
Well I stole this image from a friend on FB. This is the south coast of Maria. Looks like Freycinet. If the swell is good (like on the picture), it does not look that bad in terms of rock landing. Gonna think about a winter adventure over there with the Kayak soon. I'd like to see other pictures if somebody has someRe: Northwest Beginner Trad Areas
Sisters Beach has some good easier trad lines with decent pro. Some of them have been retro-bolted too so you can have the added security of knowing you can clip a bolt if needed....The nook is a bit obscure and hard to find the routes. The conglomerate rock there is not the best for natural gear either.Re: Massive Rockfall at Harlequin Buttress WWW.
Interesting that some friends and myself were sitting on Harlequin ramp and witnessed a single rock (100kg?) fall (all by itself!) from sweet revenge, just where it branches off from crayfish crack and smash into the existing scree at the bottom of the route. This was the weekend of 3-4 December 11 - about three weeksRe: Vandalism at Waterworks
of glass beneath some of the routes as I'm sure there will be pieces we missed. As a fair bit of water was used to remove the paint, be vigilant for loose rockRe: Sisters Beach Bolts
into the rock. Use a high quality spray paint with a etch primer first (made by wattle or dulux). Test results show that this paint will last for many years.Re: New Routes
Yeah it's not bad. The rock is not as solid as some of the other face foutes I've done but the climbing is good. I think the Great Tier section is the most logical as the route starts about 5 meters right of where the Great Tier access track heads up onto the left leading ramp where all the other routes startRe: New Routes
also just added some new routes at Standup Point that Dave James and i did earlier this year. (at the bottom of the Mount Brown page) they are not going to rock the foundations of world climbing, but they were pretty fun. its a pretty nice winter spot with many (short) routes in the 14-16 range, with coupleRe: New Routes
A route by garry at Mount Brown: **K2 55m 21 starts 20m right of Total Recall in a small right facing corner. 1) 25m 21 Follow the bolts to the ledge. Fantastic rock. 2) 30m 21 Up to the break and then leftwards and up to next ledge. Quite whilst your ahead and rap the route (two 30m raps) or 1 extra boltRe: New Routes and News 2012
