Christmas Climbing in Australia... Suggestions? 2-Nov-2012 At 5:58:05 PM Dr Nick

I've done Frog in summer in the deep dark past, and would consider it again. Get up at Sparrows', climb till 10 or 11, go to Boonah for lunch and/or a swim, then climb again after about 5. You get a storm in the evening and have to work around that, but it's still OK.

I've also done Arapiles in summer, and you end up doing something similar, or baking on classic bumblefests without really caring too much. Same with the Bluies. I've even climbed on the Blackboard Wall at Berowra in summer, though that was just unpleasant.

Go climbing. Have fun. Choose shady routes with decent holds, or get on hard stuff early.
