Climbing gear required at freycinet, tasmania 5-Dec-2009 At 10:42:57 PM robbio

Hi.

I'm flying to tasi at around christmas time and am planning on spending a few days at freycinet with my girlfriend, hoping to get some climbs in while we're there. Planning to do a few easier climbs, namely Apline 70m grade 12, and unnamed 50m grade 15, (both at white water wall) as well as the big slab climb called pneisses 240m grade 15 at the hazards main wall.

To save on weight on the plane I was hoping to trim my rack down, and having not climbed there before I was wondering what kind of pro I should bring, and what should i leave at home...

I was thinking of bringing the following:

RPs
A set of wires (some doubles in the smaller sizes)
small to medium cams
slings and some bolt plates...

Anyone done the climbs i listed, and would that gear cover it?

I figured i'd leave my offsets at home (both dmm peanuts and hb offsets) as well as my beloved hexes and large cams. What are your thoughts? Anyone found offsets useful there?

One other thing, how do you go about cleaning climbing gear after climbing at sea cliffs?

Cheers, Rob.
