Hi All,

We (my son and I) are coming to Tassie in 2 weeks to look around with a view to moving there later on in the year.

We have been climbing for around a year in Qld and really want to get some climbing in on our visit which will be for just over a week.

We would be happy if we could climb for 3 or 4 days. We are hiring a car and staying half the time in Launceston and the rest in Hobart.

Can anyone suggest some good climbing anywhere around these areas, (travelling is no problem up to an hour or so in the car but we don't want to spend the whole trip walking!)? 

We have done mainly sport and have done several 19s and 20s but are most comfortable climbing from grade 14/15 - 18.

We have all sport gear plus 50m and 70m ropes.

We have done minimal trad but have a reasonable rack if there are any lower grades 14 - 16. If there are not many decent climbs in these grades we will leave the trad rack at home to save on weight.

We have the "Climb tasmania selected best climbs" guide book.

If possible we would like to climb some of the higher stuff including multipitch.

Any help/advice will be much appreciated.

thanks in advance

Alex
