Chris has an extreme positive ape factor. I had a play on the bottom section just left of the ladder stash. The first bit to the head wall, was excellent gusty go for it dyno moves - I was in runners with no crash pad so I wimped out before the chalk heading left.

That was George, he mentioned that he introduced himself a while back, he owns the 'Black Range' property. George has been climbing for a while (he is 83 this year).
You would never think from looking at him that he has been around that long.

I will be heading up to Gibralter Peak with the wife for a bit of Canberra sport climbing!!!!
