Nangar is one I haven't heard before. Are you climbing on Mt Taylor? looks pretty rugged/undeveloped...

Thanks so much for all the feedback! Can't believe I got 27 replies so quickly--obviously a great community here.

trust me, i'm not climbing solely to "get in shape"--i just like to have big, hairy goals long term to give life a bit of focus. i love being on the wall, learning the techniques and falling occasionally, pushing myself... and i've been looking forward to moving outdoor for ages.

As luck would have it, I'm meeting shortman in the Grampians this Sunday for my first taste of trad. We did a surgical strike in a couple of shops at lunch today so i'm the proud owner of my first nut tool, helmet and sling.

"stoked" doesn't even begin to cover it :)
