I like this new trend of aid-climbing routes that were established free. I just hope that guidebooks start recording FAAs (First Aid Ascents). I might go bag a few FAAs in the Organ Pipes this arvo.

Real Aid Climbers use gloves ?

Magic archival photo Hex-Troll; presumably of Nick Taylor on the 1st ascent in January '76; and it's interesting to see the vegetation that has been wiped out in the recent bush fires, ... though the wine bottle at the belay shows no sign of charring.

Thank god the buggers havent learned to bite yet. Imagine a swarm of them attacking you just as your pumped and maddly trying to wiggle in a wire too far above your last piece... Tough choice, suffer the imediate pain of the bites to gain the security of a piece, or go for immediate gratification and risk a mega plummet.

For a good number of years now I've been spoilt by the luxury of a series of climbing partners that were usually ready to climb anything, anywhere at the drop of hat. Unfortunately the local Bendigo crew has dwindled in numbers of late with people moving to bigger cities or even overseas. What remains of our little band is now more often than not bogged down by work/uni/footy/girlfriend commitments to point where I'm finding it next to impossible to organise a 2 day climbing weekend, and can barely scrape a 1 dayer together if at all.

Wanted: Local Bendigo climbers to share petrol costs for weekend trips to Araps/Gramps and closer 1 day destinations. PM or email me if interested.

All you need is an interest in climbing, petrol money and time on your hands. If you don't have a car, climbing gear or even know how to climb all that can be overcome...
.....................................

Keep that dream alive, Mike !!

Hexy... I don't think you need to lower the tone to that sort of level.

And come to think of it, I can't imagine any place more unsuited to romantic and sensuous lovemaking than under a grotty, smeggy bouldering wall. Although there are probably some sickos out there who would find that arousing (if there are any girls who fit this description... just email me direct).
