Chockstone Gathering 18th October 2003
[ Mt Alexander | Dog Rocks | Map | Forum Topic ]

Subsequent to the popular forum topic, an inaugural Chockstone Gathering was held at Dog Rocks, Mt Alexander on October 18th 2003. The chance to meet fellow Chockstoners while partaking of a barby lunch and a little climbing drew quite a crowd, possibly as many as 40 people!

Julian Saunders Bouldering Julian Saunders (6 Meg, 1.1 minutes)
The FA of a new, high ball boulder problem is boldly ascended by Julian Saunders, despite moss, loose granite flakes, and no chalk bag. A nice dyno guards the opening moves, then it's sketchy pseudo-mantling on a mossy slab scoop before topping out gecko style. Audio included! (Video by Michael Boniwell).
