So... thinking of somewhere to climb with tommorrow's "gale-force" southerlies....
Logan Brae, Big Top..... Anybody got any ideas? We need single pitch (taking my 3 year old along).

Mt York or New York. Easy access for the small one.

Max 9 degrees, mostly cloudy, 24kmh S.W. winds, screaming 3 year old.
Sounds like a great day.

Depend on wind direction wouldn't it??...I cant really recall as only been there on calm days...doubt its sunny today though either way.

Not Blueys proper, but Wingello would probably fit your criteria.

Well... the winds didn't happen, and Shipley was absolutely brilliant, like on any sunny winter day!
The new version of Iron Mike got two more ticks from Karen and Corrinne, who successfully showed up their husbands (Julian and I both got a spanking, though mine was worse!).
For the record, a few more North facing crags.....Boganville, Redledge (if you can get the crag info), Mt. Blackheath (if you can find the routes).

Yeah I think it was a year ago or so that a hold was pulled off the crux.
