hey all,

after spending a day of wishing melbourne had more to offer climbing wise, i went for a walk. i found a cool concrete wall near my house that starts off as a slab of 100 degrees for 5-7m and finishes witha verticle head wall of 7-9m. with good shoes you can climb the slab without additional holds (i wore crap nikes and fell off many times). only the head wall needs holds, so the general public couldnt get to them with out climbing shoes. it would be fun to have a climb so close to home and theres heeps of scope for more routes to be glued up. my question is this.... what do i use to stick them up? i was reading on rockclimbing.com that someone there used bondo, (which was later explained as car body filler) to good effect. so do you guys think bog will do the trick, or is aussy car body filer the same as the us stuff? or have u guys had success with other products?

cheers

joe
