Jeez, I thought all the Bluff climbs were single pitch, I didn't realise (until now) that I should have taken a porta-ledge. Mind you, after doing Thunder Crack I felt like a good lie down

I thought in your case John, doing Thunder Crack involved a good sit down ..

Looks like they drove through a lot of different country side just to get to Araps... where's the battling the traffic on the Western ring road, the lineups at the Macca's drive thru and the dodgey pies at the beaufort bakery?

I just read the 9 things you need to know about the new ford everest and NOWHERE does it mention using it to anchor 2 portaledges off a cliff ledge.

Oversight or the latest case of fraud by a motor company?

We skipped paying the extra $8 for this exhibition on the weekend; as they said our 3 & 1.5 year olds might get a bit bored - only to be told by a friend later it has it's own bouldering wall!!!

It's a good comedy. Almost a parody of the first. Not sure if that was their intention though.

All bolts used in the filming were removed afterwards. In the end, the climbing will have been as transitory and ethereal an experience as making a film.

Given the location and Sharma's new route, my skepticism finds this a bit hard to believe...
I wonder if they patched the holes?

"If the search and rescue team did go up the spire, they would abseil up the middle in the same way the climbers did, he said."

Good luck with that. Upward abseiling is difficult.

I shuffle past it every day on my way to my desk job. It took me two or three passes before I spotted the half dome and the California reference finally made sense.
