Sort of...

There were a couple of uni bods playing on Twightlight Groping & Cheap Ryobi yesterday (Sunday) afternoon.

I picked up a blue North Face water bottle at the base of the climbs after you left. I'm guess  it's yours - contact me on 0427 626697 to get it back.

Cheers

Does anyone have a nice photo of Mt Geryon in profile, suitable for a topo showing the traverse? Please email to narkowiczg@lcs.tas.edu.au  Thankyou

For sale- Organic Climbing Simple Pad. 

This bouldering mat has great foam and a very durably cover. I purchased it about 2 years ago and have only used it 3 times so it has no damage and basically no sign of use.

Cost from Big Johns was $400. I'm looking for offers around $300.

http://www.organicclimbing.com/ for more info on the pad. This pad is a unique color pattern featuring brown, orange, and blue.
