Jacqui, Kent, James, Malcolm and myself spent the weekend in perfect spring conditions ticking routes at Cut Lunch Walls (Stapylton) and Centurion Walls (Mt Difficult Range). HB showed some amazing endurance ability by flashing every route on Cut Lunch's main sport wall. An awesome effort to watch. It was almost scrorching hot at Centurion on Sunday. Psychotic Episode (26) finally got possibly its second ascent by H in 2 tries. Another awesome effort. Check out the pics here....

Looks good. Centurion is really sheltered. Nod and I climbed there one winter's day in tee-shirts. Got home and found that no-one had climbed at Araps because the weather was too foul.

It was certianly hot on Sunday. It was no shirt weather for sure! Steve Chapman said he froze to death on the same day in the Vic Ranges.
