Hi-

We're moving to South Arm, and I was wondering about bouldering south of Lauderdale and beyond. Have heard rumors about some areas, but haven't seen anything in the guide. Sea level choss would be fine, with mountain bike access even better.

BTW, I found Lark's Edge a spectacular little crag. Unbelievably scenic. Thanks for the recommendations from folks on this site.

cheers

Back in Launceston after a 17 year absence and pretty keen to climb. Strangely for an erstwhile climber, have been living in the flattest past of England for the last few years but managed to keep some form via the climbing wall (the most vertical thing in Norwich).

Was hoping for some advice from forum users re avenues onto the rock. I see there a climbing wall at the College - what's it like? Is there a local climbing club? Is there anyone out there who needs a climbing partner?

Cheers

Hey,

Found 2 quickdraws on a route at Hillwood last weekend (Sun 15th). Would have posted this earlier but living in a tent means internet is at a premium. If they are yours drop me a line at rjhalsey AT gmail DOT com. or 0411222540.

Hello everyone!

I'll be in Hobart for a week starting on Tue, Feb 17th, and am keen to go climbing around there, grades probably somewhere around 20-23 (I haven't been outdoors for a bit). Would anyone be up for a day or two of climbing?

If you want to contact me, either call me or write an email to climbing.baxtmann AT spamgourmet.com.

Cheers

Just thought I would put it out there

Mike Law has posted this 50 page guide to bolting in sandstone on chockstone:

Pretty useful given most Tassie sandstone is just as bad as that blue mountains choss.
