You won’t find them waving their greenie credentials about or blowing their collective trumpet, but this town of 500 people in Victoria’s wheat belt is hitting major goals in renewable energy.

In case you need to remotely access data from your home cloud storage while you are in the middle of a climb

BTW, any recommendations for a cheap RAID 1 NAS? Anything from 2TB should be plenty for me.

Given the dog's breakfast of a sling attachment there, I suspect checking the latest copy of their will is backed up is a good idea.

I do love walking past Citibank on George St Sydney & seeing this:

Despite what all the cynics said about citibank (more wars and drone strikes blah blah) , I thought he was a charming president of Australia. Far more charming than Goldman-Sachs with his silly hairdo. None the less , its their turn now.

This is an old one that I couldn't find had been linked on here, a radio national broadcast featuring Victorian climbers in 2003 or so ( read the transcript)

What's the route? Pintle left hand variant with that new bolt under the climbers feet?

Link doesn’t work for me, no matter, as the purpose of my post is to question the existence of ‘that new bolt’, as I thought it disappeared not long after it was placed?

Oh, maybe you have to have an Instagram account. I'll see if I can wrangle the image out. Is probably some You Yangs blob.

Thanks for posting the picture.
It’s definitely not Pintle LH Variant.
I also notice that in the picture there’s a bolt bracket about 2m below the climber.

Doesn't look like any You Yangs route that I am aware of. Could easily be from OS photo stock.

After a short search - yep its a widely used royalty free stock image with original ownership attributed to Samantha Sophia from Southern California on this website:

Not a dodgy carrot in sight.

Probably just 1/4" Rawl bolts with hanger... Makes carrots look bomber!
