Gosh, you have a hotpoch of gear there DrDan.

What are you doing with etts?

Def. meet up with people and if youre a cool person, someone will take you out ; ) Sydney has a lot of strong climber chicks.

Using prusik knots on solo climbing?? May be hard to feed through during the crux moves, man.

Hear you on the guys oggling girls things... surprisingly I overheard some girls doing the same at some gym... they were there to check out guys rather than climb! Can you believe that!!

> Plus, whats the fascination with seeing/doing the same thing again and again and again.

Haha... that's really just what happens outside... only you've got flies to contend with

Personally, I'm concerned for you... your questions indicate you're new to climbing (newer than me!that's not a dig at you rather just a dig at me). But you're looking into solo stuff... which is mega advanced terrain. Really focus on social skills and hang out with nice people who will show you stuff.

Ps dynamic rope is okay to absail off. Read up about top rope anchors.
