That's because we are all really hairy chested trad granite men down here who know that climbing with the opposite sex (note I didn't say "chicks") will not only cause you to belay badly (O.S. sessions have been banned at Kambah becuase of this), but wives (or significant others that a few of the guys are pretending aren't wives) are highly likely to stick carving knives in our thighs if they find out - this would stop us climbing for a couple of days, so rather than miss out on a climbing trip we all stick to "siloed climbing" down here. Farah prolly hasn't invited me over becuase my wife has threatened her with serious consequences (have I told you that Lt. James Cook said that my wife's tribal group had the reputation of being the fiercest head hunters in the whole Pacific. I personally think it should be revived as a team sport - maybe that's all a bit too much information, but it's better than one of my trip reports - ha ha! Blue Lake trip this weekend - gotta be a TR in it!).
