New Nowra Guide? 24-Feb-2011 At 11:00:29 AM ry

Message

Yes Chris, I've just spent a few months writing it. The full page photo topos take up a lot of room, lots of climbing photos, so the only new areas in this one are Afterburner Wall, Occupied Territories and the new Sunrise bit of T.P. as well as all the extra routes added to existing areas in the last ten years.

I was going to put all the Braidwood Road areas in, but they wouldn't fit, if I was going to do the guide properly. The new areas will be in their own guide out in a few months. For Tianjara Falls/ Indian Head, I already have all the photo topos done and the area pretty much written up ready for the next guide, but probably still a two month window to slot extra new routes in and photos. Hylands Lookout, the other main area, I have about half written up, with only a couple of photo topos done so far.
By doing it this way it will be better, really, because the existing Nowra areas in the new "Nowra Sportclimbing" guidebook won't go out of date for a long time, whereas the second guide I do to the new South-West Nowra sportclimbing areas will probably need up-dating pretty quickly with a lot more development still to go out there.

Is that a short enough reply?

Hey!, Any great climbing photos of the New Nowra areas that anyone wants to send for possible inclusion in the guide: rock.climber@bigpond.com
Thanks
