Is this blog genuine (but misguided) or a massive troll?
I really can't tell............

I like how you claim to send trad, but your profile claims you top rope only...so does that mean you've seconded a grade 15 trad?
Or are you WesSummers trying to publicize incognito?

Keep climbing lots of different types of climbs; slab, crack, offwidth, more crack, face, a bit more crack... And put lots of gear in just in case.

Hi,
thanks for the info. I have only been climbing for a month so not really sure what you are trying to say. We climb with a rope.
thanks.

daave there are some strange people out there who are really dumb... you never know.
No, but I had only glanced at it, once I scrolled further down the blog and it becomes more obvious its a troll. I like how he keeps saying he "found no-one to climb" with.

What is a troll? Is it some fantasy climbing word?

You got a bro named Clint?
You like tyroleans?
If you answer yes to either of those, then the chocky dream team are for you.
Can't get much harder than that.
If you haven't heard of the chocky dream team, go to Natimuk and ask simey to fill you in.

Chocky dream team, sounds like they crush, I want in. Maybe I will wait till I have been climbing for two months and then go and crush with them?
cool, see you there.

2 months would be more than enough. I know Clint didn't have that much experience.
After your visit of crushing with simey and the rest of the dream team, you will be eligeable to chaperone others on the Araps Easter Orientation Programme as a fully qualified committee member. Ed Slab will send you the paperwork.

Marty, shame on you. Camp explicitly says they are for advanced trad climbers.
