Oi!!, I resemble that remark! Except for the hemp rope, my first rope was 120 feet of number 4 hawser laid nylon rope manufactured by Kinnears in Footscray. The plimsolls were cheap Chinese made "gym boots" and my five slings were number 2 hawser (as above) and three of them had "nuts". Though they were made by myself as my dad had access to a small workshop with a lathe and some hexagonal brass stock.

But those were the days, where you could climb anywhere, camp anywhere and you knew most of the people that were climbing. Sigh.
