I am heading out to werribee with my boy and spanking new rack this weekend with the express purpose of learning to place gear, and then practice placing gear. I anticipate it is going to be the first trip of many, just so I can learn to place gear with relative confidence before heading out to arapiles or the grampians. I know how to climb, but I have never placed gear, I like being alive, and therefore I know what I need to practice :)

I should note that the boy has climbed trad before, so I am not going to just be teaching myself!
