Subsequent to the popular
forum topic, an inaugural Chockstone Gathering was held at
Dog Rocks, Mt Alexander on October 18th
2003. The chance to meet fellow Chockstoners
while partaking of a barby lunch and a little climbing drew quite a crowd,
possibly as many as 40 people!

Meg, 1.1 minutes)
The FA of a new, high ball boulder problem is boldly
ascended by Julian Saunders, despite moss, loose granite flakes, and
no chalk bag. A nice dyno guards the opening moves, then it's sketchy
pseudo-mantling on a mossy slab scoop before topping out gecko style. Audio included! (Video by Michael Boniwell). |
