Mt Lyell

Mt Lyell has heaps of conglomerate boulders which are close to the road and are non lichenous. Its a pity its 4 hours from Hobart on the West Coast. There are some pics here: Mt Lyell bouldering.

Kim Robinson and friends have found a new sandstone boulder in the bush to the west of the Mt Brown car park, and has put up about 5 new problems.
Meanwhile Jon Nermut has discovered some more nice boulders and walls on the seaward side of Diamond Island @ Bicheno. About 12 problems done so far, with another dozen or so to be done.
Topos of these areas will be added to the bouldering guide soon.

Hey all,

I'm coming down to Hobart for a patch of work in the next few months
and was just wondering are many people heading out to the new sport crag
the "star factory" up at Coles Bay ?
Also, does Oatlands get much action in the colder months.

cheers

Johan
