I am just starting to get into climbing and putting the feelers out for anyone who is in the same boat. I'm hoping someone out there is keen to partner up, maybe split costs on some gear (yeah, I am tight) and generally be keen to climb a fair bit. I am in Launceston and have heaps of free time and want to make the most of the warm weather before it disappears. I have been climbing with a few more experienced climbers lately but I'd like to climb with someone at the same level, as opposed to making everyone suffer belaying me on routes they can do upside down with their eyes closed. I'm not super knowledgeable yet but I'm working on it, so if you are keen to partner up get in touch with me via email - carney_11@hotmail.com

Cheers.

Hillwood Fire

There has been a fire burning at Hillwood climbing area all weekend, haven't had a chance to check out the damage yet. Tas Fire Service is advising all climbers to stay out of this area until an assessmant of the site can be done. I live at Deviot right opposite the climbing area, at 11pm last night I could clearly see the flames from my place.
