Myself and a mate are getting into a bit of bouldering during the busy working week - we're heading down to the SouthBank side of the Princess St bridge if anyone else is keen to come down and have a play.

We're gonna try for Tue and Thu between 12:30 - 1pm

Let me know if you're keen - it's:

Sounds like a good idea. You might see me down there - possibly with Jaq Middleton as she works 5 minutes walk from there!

Sounds good anyhow - I've been down with Tom Tuesday, was good, but the wall it pretty dirty which is a shame (darn pidgeons!). Brushes could be the go I think - I gotta get one that's hard enough to clean the bluestone too.

Another friend Tara is keen to come along as well, but she's been busy at work.

Is that something you plan to do every Tues and Thurs, if so I wouldn't mind coming along for a bo peep

Yep - it is indeed something I intend on doing every week, problem is that I'm on holiday for 5 weeks at the end of next week - gonna go to NZ to Castle Hill for a bit of bouldering!

I'll be down there next week with Tom on Tue/Thu though if you're keen.

I have ventured down to princess st bridge a couple of times now and what can I say .... A.J and Tom make it look like a cake walk. Whilst I never introduced myself ( which I will make ammends the next time I am there)nmonteith came down last week and he also made it look so so easy. I am hoping that they all continue to come along and others try to get there. Personally I have found it extremely helpful in learning how to boulder by watching these guys and trying to follow their movements. So thankyou and catch you there next week.
One other thing Brendan and Ryan from Mountain Designs in Fiztroy/ Collingwood endured my company and questions in a bouldering session on the Southbank side of the bridge so I also say thanks to them
Cheers Tel

I was thinking that you should be back by now! How did NZ go? Write up a trip report for us suckers that have spent the last few weeks locked up in offices.

You're right Neil... I should write a trip report.... but it'd be too depressing I'm affraid.

More on that l8r...

Today - 1pm - City side of the bridge. Be there or be a corporate slave for the man.

OK - we're back this week - after a sucessfull session last Thursday with a good showing of the faithfull. (Tom, Terry, Tina and myself) Especially good work to Tommy who was under pressure from the lawererering lot he slaves for... you show 'em who's boss mate!

Tommy has also been mumbling about taking it over the other side (because it's thinner!) but we'll wait and see about that!

Greetings to Frances who gave it a crack this week - hopefully more of the same next week mate.

Today (tue) - city side, 1pm.

The Dalai and I have been venturing down to Richmond Bridge at lunch times also. Drop me a line via email if anyone feels like improving their self-esteem by bouldering with me, or conversely of shattering your confidence by bouldering with the Dalai ...

Going tomorrow (23/4)
