Hi folks,

Was wondering if anyone could help out - i need a card reader for uk bank cards so i can logon to internet banking and close an account only need it for half an hour.

Bank won't do anything over the phone and my other option is to just pop in to my local branch - in england, all this after i said i was in Australia.

Any way if anyone has one or knows someone that does and i could borrow for a bit that would be amazing 

Thanks

Dicky

Here's a report of my 8 week trip to the UK and thoughts on climbing at Fairhead, Gritstone, Pembroke, North Wales and Cornwall.

Hi guys, I'll be heading over from WA from around Jan 9-19 next year. I've been climbing outdoors for 4 years with mostly sport experience, but am capable with trad/multipitch. I'm interested in having a crack at the totem pole as a seconder, as the highest grade I have led clean is 25. Having said that, I haven't found a 25 that I can't dog my way up on top-rope. I understand getting to the base of the tote is probably half the battle, and then finding the right line - which is why I'm looking to go with someone competent who has done it before.

I'd be looking to climb the 24/25 line/s (not too clear on these). I would be able to bring whatever gear I would need. 

Since this is a pretty serious climb I can imagine most people might not want a newbie tagging along, so my best chance of getting a look at it might be to pay a guide.

Can anyone put me in contact with potential climbers/guides for this?

Thanks in advance!

Paul

Hey guys,

Just wanted pick your brains about the Cradle Mountain Skyline Traverse in Winter. If anyone has done it before, would love to hear about their list of Do's and Don'ts. Let me know whether it is a walk in park or pretty serious in places. I will take crampons, though would brining ice axes be overkill?

Cheers

Local Tasmanian climber and photographer Simon Bishoff is putting together a short film about climbing Blade Ridge (Federation Peak) in winter.

Hey,

The boulder guide to Mount Wellington is getting unwieldy. Heaps of problems and heaps of photos. Great, but makes it hard to find things (plus I get pumped scrolling). 

Can we split the guide into two? Perhaps lower/higher or Dolerite/Sandstone.

Happy to put in the eLabour, but wanted to see what others think and how to best go about it.

Cheers,

M

Hi, I'm thinking of writing a history of Tasmanian climbing, coffee table size with lots of pics and stories. I'd be grateful for any advice on format, where to start (ascents of peaks by bushwalkers? or just origins of roped climbing), and any contributions of photos, and people I should talk to. This could be a lovely momento for the climbing community for years to come..I look forward to people's opinion, advice, photos, stories etc. Thankyou, Gerry Narkowicz

The access to White Water Wall is now kinda fucked unless you have a 4wd

Most people will find themselves walking in.

Its around 30 minutes to the White Water Wall campsite

But if you are climbing around the Tetragrammaton a new track has started to be developed which takes half that time.

The track has been cairned (could do with a few more) and starts 1/4 way down the 4wd drive track and ends at the top of Tetragrammaton buttress.

I've added the GPS coordinates for the new track here Coastal Crags

I left an ascender and etrierre at the top of flange butress on saturday (June 3rd).  If anyone found it I'd be psyched to get it back.........I'm happy to provide some beers as a reward.

It's a hangboard.

For rock-climbing training.

Used.

1000 mm wide; 170 mm high. Mega jugs, mono, bi and tri doigts, slopes, pinches and edges. In other words all the fun things.

Old style, so perhaps not so "ergonomically" (or politically) correct. See attached photos.

Collection only. Call 0407 310 287

Does anyone know if the thin crack problem on the small yellow buttress (6ish metres high) directly below Offal Buttress has been done before? Surely it has, because its very obviously visible from the shady side. It doesn't seem to be written up anywhere. It goes in the low 20s. If nobody claims it I've got a good name for it....
