Hi guys, I'm a climber who lives in Wales, UK and am visiting the Arapiles & Grampians in march to climb. I can't wait as the photos I've seen look amazing. Everyone I tell that I'm going asks things like "what if you put your hand in a hole and there's a spider or snake or something in there". Due to the general British ignorance about any sort of bugs and beasties, most people assume that on top of the normal climbing hazards you need to worry about the fauna as well. How true is this? Are the beasties really an issue when you're climbing in Australia? And if they are, any tips to minimise my impact on them (don't mean falling on top of them - impact on the environment) would be much appreciated.
