      Nice shot Dave! Ever thought of putting together a coffee table book of Tassie climbing?

      1. dave james

          What you saying dave? Dean's winter fashion isn't going to cut it with the wider public? Or are you ok with the fashion and not with the colours? Hes got a nautical theme going on.

            Id like to call it Deano dressed as a white cap.

    The Guardians from Lake Marion

    No ones been up there since Tony found the old route descriptions: Cradle Mountain - Lake St Clair

    The scrub looks ... scrubby.

      I went in last summer.  It was a fun hike (in retrospect) pretty rough going either way you go in (we did a loop).  Old school cliff with big chimneys etc and no obvious gems.  Not at the top of my return list.

      Sweet this uploaded, was taking ages and thought it didn't make it. Taken in Feb 2010 on the day we did our route How Hard Can it Be? 23 165m.

    3 photos from Phil Robinson of the Eldons, a remote area with only one recorded route. Coincidentally there is a big party of bushwalkers (Stu Bowling, Aaron Scott et al) up there at the moment.

      Is this "guess the route" Dave? Something at Lost World? Atlantis maybe? To be honest, I've got no real idea ... but a great shot of John on something ...

      1. dave james

    Hi Jon,
    Thought you might like to post these.
    It's at Meander Falls. 24th August 2008
    The distance shot shows meander falls on the left and the left facing corner on the right that we climbed. You can see my red jacket at the top of pitch 2.
    Doug Fife called it ethereal fall.
    Cheers

      Tom Remenyi and I did a route there a couple of years back. I'd recommend it. Great adventure for the grade. In theory it is a little safer after our ascent. Still not a light hearted route tho. more or less goes up the shadow (right-side of pinnacle) on left of crag. amazing location.

      parched pinnacle 143m, 15

       

       

       

       

       

       

       

      "Varied climbing and exhilarating situations in magnificent surroundings"

      Start at the base of Blowfly. Pitches 1,2 and 3 are shared with Blowfly but take a more direct line.

      1. 23m

      Climb the crack in the slab direct to a ledge with a large tree.

      2. 20m

      Move left to a corner with a jammed block on top.

      3. 23m

      Up the continuation of the line past an overhang to a stance at the base of a square cut corner.

      4. 27m

      Crux. Jam to the top of the corner and move up diagonally left to the gap at the base of the pinnacle.

      5. 17m

      Chimney up between the pinnacle and the main face until the two merge. Flick a nut into the continuation of the line above and use this to gain the gap at the base of the detached portion of the pinnacle. Easily to the top of the pinnacle.

      6. 13m

      Cross to the main face and move diagonally right over a few loose blocks. Turn the corner, step down and climb a finger crack to a large ledge.

      7. 20m

      Finish up the obvious line at the rear of the ledge.

    Veil Cliff on the east side of Mount Brown, reached by walking south from Crescent Bay. The existing routes by Dave James are below where the photo is taken - the steep cliff in view is undeveloped.
    Bit of effort to get to though.

    'shegold' is the second major diagonal crack from the right side of photo. very fun 15. Had my best fall ever off the other cliff...
