Climbing Buddy Wanted - Melbourne

Hi Aussies!!

I'm a 23y/o professional Male just moved to Melbourne for work from Auckland. Living in St Kilda and working on Collins/Elizabeth. Used to climb 2-3 days a week top rope and lead in Auckland at Extreme Edge Gym with the occasional outdoor trip. Climb anything from easy 17s up to about 23 but have tons of experience climbing with more skilled climbers and belaying on 26+ sport climbs.

Looking for a climbing partner for weeknight and weekend climbing (and hopefully the occasional trip away). So far I have been to check out the city gym on Swanston Street. Very nice facility but limited climbs and it looks to be all slab and vertical whereas I prefer overhang... so open to suggestions.

Haven't been to Nunawading or Altona yet mainly because I don't have a car and regular trips out those ways could be difficult. Keen to find a climbing buddy soon because I know how hard getting back into climbing can be when you give it a couple months off!!

I'm also new to Melbourne from Brisbane, living in St Kilda and looking for climbing buddies for weekly gym sessions and weekend day trips.
I'll PM my deets if you're keen to meet up.

Are you interested in a days slab climbing north of Ballarat on Sat 14 June? I have a car so can share fuel costs.
