It is muggy year round, the greasyness of the walls in summer is somewhat of a myth, and you can change sides of the river as the sun passes over (easy for a Queenslander to say). The mosquitoes respond quite well to insect repellant, just make sure you put it on your ankles as well, as they will drive you to distraction while climbing.

If the greasiness of the walls in summer is a myth then I must live in never never land. If you have to climb there (your really should go the mountains in summer) you need to be content to climb a lot lower grades.
