Despite the cold weather, some new problems have been done around the place.

Last weekend at Oatlands, Aubrey finished the project between Blood Lust and Time on the Hidden Wall, at about V7. It was quickly repeated by Dave from Syndey and Paul Westwood. On the same wall Morgan did the dyno variant to Kim's Highball, at about V4.
Dave Humphries and myself have done a bit of gardening to the right of Rumble Cave to produce a good little area with 4 problems so far.
Back in April Dave H, Jon N, Aubrey and Al Williams did about 10 or so new moderate problems on the Island, most of which seemed to involve a mantle.
At the Reservoir in Hobart I finished another project, the high traverse rightwards across the main face, which went at V5 or 6.
I have also started doing some problems at Crocodile Rock, on Mt Wellington. 3 probs so far, with about 5 more to do.
Earlier in the year Aubrey, Morgan and friends starting developing a new area out behind Sheffield, on a hillside of freestanding conglomerate boulders. It apparently has quite a bit of potential, but its a fair mission from Hobart. Topos to come when Aubrey has done all the good stuff.

    Aubrey and Morgan have been at it again, finishing two more projects at Oatlands last weekend. El Jeffe (V7) starts just to the left of Buzzy Land on the Island, and goes directly up. They also did the project two lines to the left of Lloyd's Dyno, also at about V7.
