Also, if anyone is keen to get action photos on some of the more aesthetic locations, I'd love to organize a photoshoot or two while I'm in town!
Hi there lovely folks, my friend is looking to head down to Whitewater wall for some New Year’s Eve sending. He gets in to Launny at midday on 31st Dec but public transport options are obviously not looking too juicy… many beers/beverages of your choice and eternal gratitude shall be bestowed upon any kind soul who could get a lovely climber matey down to Freycinet in time for his new years plans . Thanks all

Excited about my new book on the history of Tasmanian rock climbing which should be out within 6 months. It's a condensed version of Adventures at the Edge of the World so some content will be the same but you get to read the history in a concise linear style. There's new photos and stories too so if you missed out on the big book 5 years ago then you'll enjoy this one. Stay tune for pre orders and book launch event. Thankyou
A gorgeous grey shrike thrush trying to nest near Princess/Influenza. I put a little ribbon on the first bolt of Princess to indicate we should steer clear for a bit. I had no paper and pen etc. to make a little note. The written sign worked well last year.
Several birds patrolling the valley. Have erected "Please keep out". sign as usual, up valley past Shape Shifter.

There is finally an anchor to replace to tat at the top of Third Bird. The glue bag I took home has set and gone hard so they should be ready to go tomorrow. If anyone gets there before me feel free to give it a good tug with a quickdraw to test the glue and then remove any tat on the bollard to clean it up a bit. But it should be good to go.
Hi team, does anyone else get this error in IOS? Means a bunch of climb descriptions are missing for me. Suggestions?
Hi All,
I climbed a really nice hand crack on the Shady Side of Avalanche Couloir a few months ago. I couldn't really find it in the guide. The only description that loosely resembles the route I climbed is Celecia. Has anyone done Celecia recently or at all? Can anyone confirm if the route in the image below is Celecia? If it is, I reckon the description is due for an update, cause its a great route!
Cheers,
Zach
A huge boulder (about 200-300kg) rolled of the bottom part of the climb while merely touching it abseiling. The lower part of the climb and the area below should be treated with extreme caution until this area has been cleared (not yet done as of 24/2/2023). There might be more rocks and boulders that have come loose now. For now this route is very dangerous to climb as loose rock gets funneled by the rock and ends up at the belayers position.
