Climbing trip to Australia at The Grampians 17-Feb-2006 At 2:10:53 AM ciprians

Hey everyone,

You guys are funny. Here is "the secret" ... I used to do trad long time back ( I climb for about 20 plus years and started in Romania where at the time there were no gym climbing) During this time I took a brake from climbing and started back up just with bouldering and sport. Recntly I got back into trad and I am taking it easy in trad. You know I want to feel again confortable placing gear right.
That is why I take less risk in trad. I am sure I will be able to climb harder trad soon but for know I am doing it that way. In sport ... hmmm I try even harder routes then 12.c (26/27) cause I can fall as many times as I want so I do not care.

Anyway I thank you everyone for your helpul information. I probably go to Arpiles and then try to hit the Gramps.

Is going to the gym in Melbourne a good idea to meet other climbers that might have the interest in going climbing outside for the weekend?

Anyway ... I am very excited in visiting and climbing at these beautifull places.
