Araps just after Xmas. 7-Nov-2009 At 7:58:32 AM Uncle Boz

All,

Getting a bit ahead of myself here as I'm talking about the end of December but here goes...

I'm heading out to Melbourne from the UK for a couple of weeks after Dec 25th or so and wanted to pack my rack in the hope that I'd be able to get 4/5 days, or more if possible, out at Araps ticking off a few.

I'm travelling from the UK visiting a few friends, non-climbers alas, and would be somewhat disappointed if I wasn't able to get onto some of the worlds finest sandstone! The one thing I'm missing as you may have guessed is a climbing partner, and that is where I thought this forum might be able to help.

I was kind of hoping to be able to hook up for a mid-week trip (or trips in consecutive weeks) with individuals or groups who wouldn't mind another making numbers up.

I've been climbing for 3/4 years UK with a few weeks in the Alps over the last couple of seasons. I lead up to VS 4c, that's what that 16/17?, on a really good day, but going to have to consolidate at this grade for a while as I'm sure there are a few out there that are going to kick my ass; 6b sport; V3/V4 Font 6a/6b. Happy seconding harder.

I've got rack and am not bothered if I have to bring my doubles. I am likely to have some wheels sorted from Melbourne too.

In short it looks like I'll be there 25 Dec - 10 Jan, so drop me a mail if you can help @ uncleboz@googlemail.com

Cheers
Boz.
