... guides have their work cut out for them this week! We don't mind it terribly as they are amusing to observe and we never see them while climbing because they stick to the beginner cliffs. It's nice being around people in general!
We are feeling a bit weak from our drive around the country, but have just started to get psyched about certain harder climbs we didn't dare try last time we were here for fear of dogging too much! It's nice because the ...

We had a couple of good climbing days before the depressing rain set in again. Spent one day climbing with Matt from Australia. It's often refreshing to climb in a group of three as it breaks it up a little and plus we can take pictures! We have been freezing a little isleeping in our van as the air mattress sucks the life out of us. So we have ...

G**man v**sion:
Dank ei***** Regentage kommt dies** Blog wied** auf den aktuellen Stand. Seit drei Wochen sind wir im b**uehmten Klett**gebiet Arapiles haengengeblieben. Hi** ist ein Mekka fu**s Trad-Klett**n, das heisst, die wenigsten Routen sind mit Haken v**sehen und man geht mit eigen** Ausrustung auf Suche nach passenden Absich**ungsmoeglichkeiten. Behangen mit Klemmkeilen, Cams, Hexentrics und Schlingen sieht man aus wie ...

... Falls, die Wasserfälle liegen inmitten in einer wunderschönen Berglandschaft. Der Weg nach unten ist noch ganz angenehm, aber wir müssen auch wieder hoch. Als Belohnung für den Aufstieg gibt es für jeden ein Eis und wir schreiben nebenher ein paar Postkarten.

Der nächste Aussichtspunkt, den wir ansteuern, sind die "Balconies". Von den Felsnasen hat man einen herrlichen Rundblick über die Landschaft. Auf dem Fußweg vom Parkplatz am Reed's Lookout zu den "Balconies ...

... well below my projected budget on these things at the moment (petrol is a whole other story, well over my expected costs, but I digress...) and I am in the habit of saving money for the sake of saving it, without ever thinking about what I am saving it for. So this conversation with my friend made me think about that... and in addition to this, he recently showed me a music video by Sarah McLaughlin, for her song 'World on Fire'. If you really want ...

... and then thought about the fact that in terms of global comparison, if we have running water in our homes, we are rich, never mind having food every day and adequate clothing for all weather conditions (and girls, no, a mood swing justifying a different pair of shoes does not qualify as a weather condition...) and came to the conclusion that I am therefore rich, and so I should only use what I need, and give the rest to those who do not have ...

... of the Chinese New Year. A true glutton for punishment, I headed right for the mass of parading dragons and firecrackers in search of decent Asian food. Along a back alley I found a bustling little place called the Kum Den. The manager who was seating people was an absolute prick, another sign that the food would be good. As they were very busy and only had large tables I ended up being seated with an elderly Chinese ...

... mokkimme. Missaan rakennuksista ei ollut numerointia eika niissa lukenut mitaan viittausta hotelliin. Lopulta uskaltauduimme kurkkaamaan sisalle yhteen mokkiin, jossa oli valot paalla. Ovi oli lukitsematta ja koska sisalla ei ollut ketaan, paatimme jaada mokkiin yoksi toivoen etta osuimme oikeaan :) Kiitamme: A8-tieta (Adelaide - Melbourne), hyvaa ja nopeasti ajettavaa tieta. Moitimme: Kengurusaaren lauttayhteydet, harvaa, hidasta ja kallista. -Tommi

... night I set off with the RMIT outdoors club for another 4 days of camping with no showers or water. I met a guy (Damien) who'd just returned from Vietnam which was interesting to hear about. We arrived at Arapiles around midnight and had to put up our tents in the dark and to make things worse the ground was rock hard, it was a pretty cold night and the whole campsite is on a 10-15 degree slope! Friday I went top roping and managed to get up a ...
