Yeah it was the guy that lives on the other side of the car park, he has a beard and a really bad temper. I thought that he was going to smash my ute window with a rock. The quarry has a lot of climbs that are only a few moves but VERY hard! The problem with them is that they are all above the remaining rock face. A fall will do you a lot of damage. I just climb along the blasting holes. If you go around the back of Mt Hope there are a lot of crack climbs that aren't all that high they are good for layback training, but be careful of the snakes in summer as they love hiding in the cracks! (ALWAYS TAKE COMPRESSION BANDAGES) If bitten go to the hospital in Cohuna, as they have the best snake kit in the area, and have well trained staff. One of my mates wants to put some bolts in the quarry face and see if there is anyone out there crazy enough to try and climb it.
