An American friend and I arrived at the flat rock car park bright eyed and bushy tailed at the crack of half past ten in the morning. Having played for the Rams the day before and suffering quite badly from the effects of 2 gallons(U.S. gallons) of Victoria Bitter. We set out about racking up at the car, as my rack was spread throughout.

After packing the ropes and rack in to our packs we set about walking up the horrible incline of flat rock. As we approached the crest we came accross some wimmera locals Skinny Man and Bruce. Talking of our expected triumph and their days failure on Serpentine. Bruce offered some bata on the linking of pitches and location of the rings on the far left of the wall. Just as we were parting ways he cried back... "Hope you have a head torch."... Which left me wondering for quite some time, was he serious? is it that hard? .... but no he was just messing with me. And it worked... prick.
