January/February in Tassie - Any recommendations? 29-Oct-2010 At 1:25:47 PM will5686

Hey All,

We are heading to Tasmania for a few weeks in Jan/Feb and were wondering what areas to climb/walk/mountain bike you could recommend? We are both soft and weak from a Winter spent not climbing, so some areas with some easier climbs (18 or below) for me would be good, and some areas with some intermediate stuff for Dave (20 or above) would also be good. We are willing to do some multi-pitch (but only in the lower grades - I'm a complete noob to multi-pitch), and scenic areas would be nice, as the in-laws are joining us, short walk-ins would therefore also be great. We will be in four-wheel drive, so places with limited access should be ok. We have two single ropes - one 60 and one 50, so anything requiring any more rope than that is out.

With the mountain biking - I prefer cross country, whereas Dave prefers slightly technical downhill. Any suggestions for great rides would be good - I am sure our arms will need a rest and jumping on a bike will be a good way to get it :)

Thanks in advance!
Claire
