Dave C 22-Jan-2006 7:05:37 PM	I was in the same house when the '85 fire came through. That one came within 250m of us, this one is somewhat further away. Fire plan has been activated though. PS Too hot for you and Bourge out there today?

IdratherbeclimbingM9 23-Jan-2006 11:27:47 AM	Re playing silly buggers. >"When you're rock climbing there's rules," he said. ?? I thought that article was pretty ordinary in that it combined a lot of gossip type opinion with a few facts. It left me wondering about public perception of climbers and how our image affects our credibility. My condolences go to the bereaved. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ post edit; Vindicated. http://www.chockstone.org/Forum/Forum.asp?ForumID=5&Action=Display&MessageID=1885&PagePos=0&Sort=

It was front page of the paper, with a photo (of the climber quoted in the article posing in a Hobart alley way with a rope and hexes slung over his shoulder). So yes, quite a lot of negetive exposure for the sport.

The HEX 23-Jan-2006 11:24:10 PM	------------------------ >Tasman Peninsula '...The Swell Repeller 55m 24 [sport] Two pitches of stunning arêtes and all bolts. A great bad weather option when the Tote is being hammered by the swell. Fix a 60m rope to double rings as for the Totem Pole descent but rap diagonally towards the ocean (south east) heading down a scungy corner to a ledge. Continue rapping down wall below to arrive at double FHs on small ledge just left of knife blade arête about 5m above the ocean. Pitch One 40m 24 – Climb amazing sustained arête past 10 FHs that get fairly spaced as you get higher. Belay at vegetated ledge at DBB. Pitch Two 15m 20 – Up thin crack splitting arête above with great exposure to small ledge. Sling tooth with large sling and climb easily to top. Belay off the Tote’s rap rings.
