Faffed about in nati after a nice sleep in. Crused into 'The Sham' bakers delight, sticky scrolls... yum. Drove to the tower carpark/camping ground. 9:30am people are still in bed???

It did apear a little like a rock festival. 100's a cars and tents.

'Shot the shit' with a couple of peeps and headed up to the cliff. At 10:30am found only three people actually climbing. Laughed about this with them. Neil cried. Asked me to explain my long morning and still being there an hour earlier than his crack team.

An hour later Joe walked passed us, to goto the Gallery. What a wacky guy. You get to the gallery from the buandik side... Der!

I dogged every route I could. And then a couple I couldn't. I am soooo piss weak.

Bagged neil for his crapy route in the cave out the back. And laughed at the fact he couldn't do my route and I couldn't do his. Belayed neil up his new route.

Laughed as three people tried to pull a rope off the rap station. Laughed more when I saw the knot three people had been tightening. Undid the knot.

Bumped into 'grizz' in the car park. Who would have thought someone could be unemployed so fequently???

Back to 'The Sham' for cheese and crackers... Yum.

Home to "The Bombs" house. His baby sitter is hot. Asked her what she was doing later. Got shot down in flames.

Started drinking. Did some electrical work for someone, check out their site on RSVP.com.au Posted on chockstone. Currently drunk.

** A two star post. Pics of the baby sitter would have earned it an extra star.

Oh, and if your still in Nati by the end of the week pick up my shoes that are in for resoling.

That's not an easy one to fix, Neil. Maybe if you took up triathlon or at least road bike riding you'd be in luck. You'd have to shave your legs for either, and there's not as much laughing as Lock did in this trip report

Climb with tradesman more. They are so used to getting up early, that they can't sleep in.

note* This rule does not apply to Andrew Reid.

Living in the pines I used to get up at 5am, it was worth it every day to see the nice Kiwi girl get up at 5:05 in only in her underwear, thinking no one would see her in per little pink panties.

And they can hammer out the nuts that get really badly stuck!
coil ropes neatly and quickly!
usually have a big trade vans that can fit all your gear in!
and are well stocked up with icy beverages!
