Theres mostly Uncarved block holds, but some Metolius and Jerry Moffat holds (all good brands/shapes, great variety)  mix of sizes including 5 x large holds, 16 x medium, 7 x small, and 68 x footers (96 in total) All for $250-!!!

Plus I have 2 x climbing wall frames (NOW $200 for both), these are made out of Galvanised steel 65cm square tubing (bomber), I bought them off a bouldering gym in QLD and they are professionally made.  They would be perfect for a wall where u just want to fix the vertical back edge of it (minimal carnage to a rental property etc) or on an outside wall (need to build a little roof over it to protect panels) (The person in pic is 6 foot 2) ideally its best to make a slightly higher vertical kicker at base to jack it up a bit (easy)

The top angle is about 40 degrees and the shape makes a good bulge. Height vertical is 2.86m, horizontal is 2.21cm. Easy to extend the 40 degree headwall with some hardwood (we did this at the Monkey Cage and it was a great wall)

Hi everyone,

I'm coming to Hobart on business next week and am looking for a climbing partner for the weekend of the 26 & 27th of May.

Happy to lead trad up to grade 20 and looking for someone who's keen to climb a bunch of classics. As I'm down for business I can't bring my trad rack with me, but will have shoes/harness/helmet and lots of enthusiasm for crack :)

If you're around that weekend send me an email at timtravel08(at)gmail.com or reply here and I'll get in touch.

Cheers!

Tim

Just in time for cooler month training I've got a bunch of climbing holds (various brands about 100 holds, including 3 x cool big uncarved block features) for sale at less than half price new ones.  Plus I've got 4 x sheets 19mm plywood with t-nuts already in.  Ply is $50 a sheet or $40 a sheet if u buy 2 or more.

See http://climbnortherntasmania.files.wordpress.com/ for the latest new route at Fingal, and the ticklist of 12 climbers who were there at some time over the last week.

So i went to the Boneyard on the weekend and it was an eye opener, why didn't i go there sooner!
The rock quality is superb. The climbing even better.
If you can climb grade 24 i would advise going there as soon as you can. (The cliff will be closed from Aug to Dec)

Reg passed away peacefully in the early hours of yesterday morning. Funeral will be held at Turnbulls, 71 Letitia Street, North Hobart, 10am, Tuesday 8th May.

Reg (Dad) was active in the Tasmanian climbing community in the mid to late 60's.  I am hoping to get word out to people who knew Reg, particularly those who would like to attend his funeral.
