Trip Report: Arapiles over New Year’s!

So… after far too many years I finally got to take my brother Lincoln out climbing at Arapiles over New Years. Turns out he’s got some natural talent… he managed to pull off an ascent of “Pilot Error” (20) on his 4th day climbing…ever! Other climbs in the trip included Muldoon, Agamemnon, Missing Link, The Bard, Eskimo Nell, Spiral Staircase and Camelot (at midnight on NY’s!). The abseil pictured is during the descent from Ali’s. Whew, what a busy 3 days! Not bad for someone who claimed to be afraid of heights on the first day.

Trip report: Single Pitch Trad course at Mt Arapiles, 20-22 December 2016

What an amazing three days in Arapiles! Peter, Priscilla and Colin did really well on the Single Pitch Trad course in December, and we managed to climb a fair few climbs all over the area. I hope you three enjoyed the course, and I look forward to seeing you at the next one!

Trip Report: Cathedral Ranges 21 May 2016

Mallory and Kyle joined me for a wonderful sunny morning at the incredibly beautiful Cathedral Ranges State Park, just outside of Melbourne. I was impressed with these two – they managed all of the climbs and we even got a pitch of lead-climbing in! Until next time guys!

Trip Report: Camels Hump 20 April 2016 (Afternoon)

Happy birthday Steve! A great afternoon with chilly weather but amazing views. Luisa surprised us all by blasting up nearly everything easily as if she’d done it 50-100 times before. Steve’s first rock-climbing experience was super fun, he even managed to make it up the grade 16 I set for them at the end of the day!

Trip Report: Camels Hump 18 April 2016 (morning)

Russell and Simon joined me for a wonderful clear morning at Camels Hump near Mt Macedon, Victoria. We went up to the “Omega Block” area and had a go at a good few climbs, where they showed their expertise in hanging off the rock while taking selfies with an iPhone. Well done guys, it was a fun morning and I hope to have you out again!
