true that.. most people around here do that as well, cause there cars wouldnt make it..

thinking about going over the biggest hill in wagga tonight along a dirt road which usually only motorbikes get over.. could be fun..

Yeh i was about to say i have done a bit of rockclimbing, not the pics i expected.

But thats pretty cool. :new_russi

This is what I thought the thread would be about.

I haven't climbed in about 2 years. Got my own rack and used to go over to arapiles about 3 times a year but I don't recognise that pitch, which one is it? I used to climb a fair bit with Akira (Callam) on RSLC whilst we were UGs at Adelaide Uni.

Small world, I have climbed here in Canberra with Akira too. Not sure what the climb was/is called it's at another set of rocks just up from Araps (near a lake). Araps is behind us, on the other side of the road. Spent a week there but it wasn't long enough, got to plan the return one day.

Small world!!! Its been about 18 months since Ive been climbing as well darryl... Is Morialta still the place to go in Adelaide for 'near city' climbing?
Maybe we should have an ozlib rockclimbing trip??

OzLib RockClimbing Trip FTW.  The pines is full of subarus anyway.

Mori is the place.  There's Norton "Hard Man 23+ Land" Summit which I've done a few climbs on, the Ubiquidous Peregrine, lead it like a dog, but then ran clean laps on top rope all afternoon.

I'm guessing the formation that you climbed on is Mitre Rock?  I'm keen to head to Araps sometime when it's not so hot and climb there for around 4 days in mid-year break (I'm now teaching at Uni) if your keen Callum (hopefully the Conversion finished by then (don't ask!!!)).  I've been wanting to tick some more stuff on Organ pipes or maybe the Baard if you lead the crux pitch?

You climbed at Kamba pools?  it's so nice there in the heat of summer, you take a lunch break and go swimming, sweet.

Callum, it just so happens that I'm listening to some of Ed's music ATM, he so needs a Gen2 WRX ALAH Al conversion in replacement of his 13B that's about to explode, LOL.

Anyway you coming to Adelaide sometime in the near future, as I thinks there be some beers in order, and maybe a shakedown cruise (say late April)?

This is sort of OnTopic.

I think the pines is full of AusSubaru members as it chockas of Lifted L series and their predecessors.  A few Gen1s and the occasional outback and foz.  Let me just say the Gen3 now with lowered suspension wouldn't like it.

You guys ever camped in the gums.  I think about it every time I go, and then get scared off by all the families and non-climbers that camp there, LoL.

Anyways better let this thread get back on topic a little.  Callum call me sometime as I've got a FY student that doesn't want to play in ElecEng field, but doens't want to waste her degree either, so I suggested joining some sort of consutling firm like where you work.
