Peeps - the only way this place is going to get a facelift (guidebook wise) is if we make it happen. I've made a start, but it's a big job and needs a lot of input from others to get it across the line.

We need decent quality photos, and some people who have climbed the routes to clarify where they go.

I would be happy to do some work on clarifying this in topo format. I don't have any plans to travel there again for some time so not willing to obtain the base images myself.

Writing an entire guidebook for the bungles is not something I'm keen to do, but for such a special area to go overlooked for so long both makes it a bit frustrating, but also kind of cool - it's one of the last true adventure cliffs around that I know of. Finding your way without good information is a bit of a lost artform, and used to be the norm - not the spoon feeding kind of guidebooks that are all the rage these days.

So.... how about if anyone is heading up that way they get some decent quality photos and post me a CD/DVD and some hard copy that's been marked up clearly showing what's what.

I can then turn them into pretty topos which would be posted for free on the ACA website.

Neil (and others) may even lend a hand. Will anyone else put their hand up to share the load of documenting what goes where?

Neil - did you get much in the way of good photos when you were up there last?
