Here is an interesting C&P direct from the retailers page.

*** Visit, phone (03) 5441 8886, or fax Steve Morris at 38 Neale St, Bendigo for all your climbing gear. He has the best prices in Australia, at least from my experience. Plus he's on for a chat if you need qualified advice, or just want to yak about climbing in general. ***

I appreciate RH is the sponsor of the site, I appreciate they have certain rights to the site, but every other mentioned retailer gets about 5 words.. " They have some stuff". The only thing missing is the pop up ads for RH..

They sure get a big bang for their advertising buck in general. A cynical person might believe there was more on offer than just the site maintenance fees. Good thing I am not either of two things, a cynical person or a cyber world geek.

Mankybus, I heard stories a while ago that there was a ' gentlemans agreement' involved with Qwank where retailers would not self promote, can you confirm that? I heard that when P started popping up with specials and advertising (with permission). Oh and nice post BTW, M.

Again I ask ( less subtle) if something is not a stock line or not available from RH, how does that conflict? If I want a beetroot, don't tell me I should buy a radish because it's still red.

This thread seems to raise a few hackels it seems... this is good for our society or else Kim IL Jong will just delete the thread.

Last point. what happened to Hex. He's been M.I.A.
