Was anyone else watching the coverage of the Australia v NZ test today at Bellerive?  If you were you may have caught site of one of our own local climbing celebrities picked out by the cameras and lauded for his fashion sense.  Gold.  No prizes for guessing who it was.

just a quick note to let everyone know that some of the CCT contacts on the SAR list did some training up on northern buttress last wednesday afternoon. it was more aimed at upskilling the police crew, while building valuable friendships that will be essential if we ever are called out for a rescue.

if you are on the contact list, thanks again for making yourself available! again if you think you could bring some skills to a SAR environment get in touch with myself and i can add you to the list!

summers just starting to warm up so get into it! go for it with the knowledge that if something goes wrong, some friendly faces will come to your aid.

I've just moved to Tasmania and am on the hunt for people to climb with around the northwest coast. I'm currently living near Burnie, am a fairly novice climber - only just started leading really basic routes and am comfortable seconding/cleaning up anything to about a 17 or 18.

If anyone's heading out climbing in the general Burnie/Sisters over this weekend or anytime in January I'm super keen to come along and would happily be a chauffeur if needed too.

Internet access is a bit limited where I'm currently living so if anyone's keen/has climbing friends in the area I can contact let me know on 0439771484.

As a deal sweetener, I'm fairly clean, not an axe weilding maniac and don't generally make a habit of listening to death metal or dub step whilst driving. Unless that's what you're into...

Anyone climbing in the gorge weeknights over summer? Pref Mon/Tue. 

Thanks.
