All have forgotten the ACT hardman's almanac: Gripped off Me Scone. The biodegradable bible that doubles as dunny paper when you've finished tearing through the pearlers contained within.This little package of goodness has not been seen in recent times but efforts are underway to bring out another issue.

It is the Holden Caulfield variant finish to Lord Gumtree on the cover, ie right hand side of 'the fang'.
Makes me wonder if SM has any intentions to 'free' the lower pitches (nice arete) of Holden Caulfield?
The whole thing blows me away as being totally outrageous, (freeing those routes). Its also kind of weird how the grades are similar for them.
... OK its all the same steep granite, but I would have thought that Holden Caulfield finish was thinner than the grade it received ... especially where the rivet ladder starts!

a couple of things i've picked up on from a couple of the photos in the mag:

Starting with page 1: now, i'm no expert, but to me the bolt above tom farrell doesn't look all that good. is this "a typicla blueys bolt" that i hear of oh so often?

and the FFA on flinders island, page 40/41. 3rd runner from top, biner clipped to biner.

i'm not sure if this all means anything. i don't have any gripes with it. i just thought it could be something to talk about....maybe. dunno.

oh, and the photo of chris webb on page 33......MAN THAT DUDES STRONG! WELL DONE MATE

The bolt isn't typical, but there are about 50 that look like that, not unlike a lot of the big ones at arapiles placed a few years back. In both cases I guess the answer is, "you shouldn't be allowed to bolt your first new route".
