Maybe it would be easier for us all to meet at Barjarg?

Alas, I can't do the 23rd. I'll still be running the gym that night. Heading up during the day of the 24th. I've got family/christmassy things on the 25 & 26th but I might mozey on out and have a perv on the 27th if anyone is up for a second visit.

Re: Dalai's post on page 1

Which "amazing arete" was this...the one near the start of Joseph Young Drive (coming from the north) - right on the roadside...?

Yes, the striking arete facing the road V8 - FA I think in the end was by Simon Weill. Not sure of the name. The shorter clean cut arete to it's left is ~V5. The back shaded arete left again I think was around V2

Yes, that's the one. It's a fantastic problem. I knew Simon had climbed it (he showed it to me) but couldn't remember if he did the FA or not. I live in Castlemaine and have been slowly exploring the mountain for problems.

Hey Raven - just to freak you I may post on here as Monkey Boy but I am actually Owen Taylor used to be in a band with your brother in Rochdale back in the day !

I was talking to Jim in Melbourne yesterday and thought you guys might want to come along to this but Jim siad you have cut your hand so it might not be the best idea

Any way it was cool to see your bro again

Hey! Sorry to bump this thread after so long but I just got back to work after a great climbing holiday down in Tassie.

I can attest that the Barjarg bouldering area definately has some potential. It's the best granite bouldering I have found in Vic. I was planning to get back out there and take some topo photos but ran out of time.

Here is a vid Owen took of me climbing an un-named problem. I think I fell on the last move on this one but got it later.

Nice one Climbaholic.

I was beginning to think my video would never get posted to chockstone.
Hope your Tassie trip was Awesome.

The bouldering around Barjarg is definitely worth checking out. And also I am sure there
are other areas in the surrounding forests just packed with boulders so a bit of exploring
would probably pay off too.

The moss on the boulders has grown heaps after the rain a while back. Water is dripping off the moss after rain aswell. Id still go though.

you'd still go? hehe.
I'm considering a day trip next weekend provided the weather isn't unfavourable.
so mostly bad landings from what i've read?

Na some are but most are ok. A mat would be good to have though. I could show you some classic boulders and projects if you want.
