Anyone been to Lal Lal area (sipofene)? 15-Oct-2024 At 8:32:27 AM BA

In a similar vein, when working on the Mount Stapylton guide I found numerous references to different areas that turned out to be the same area. A climb was established, the area was named. Other climbs were done and the area was renamed, more climbs were done and the area was renamed again! I went with original name - Summer Day Valley, although it now seems to be called Summerday Valley.

A word of warning though, slag off the climbs but don't slag off the perpetrators or you may be threatened with libel, as the late Hugh Hardwick and I were over the You Yangs.

Umm, I hope that's a reference to the routes and not the guidebook editor :-)
