I'll be in Adelaide from 20th to 22nd Feb and am wondering the following

- how long is the drive from Thebarton to Morialta?
- is the bouldering any good at Adelaide's Bouldering Club?

I'll be in a yoga workshop at Thebarton between 9.30 am to 12 pm then again between 4 pm to 6 pm. Will I have enough time to squeeze in a few climbs at Morialta?

Cheers

Jess

yes

It'd be a rush. Very early morning or after 6 might be a better idea.

Thanks for the reply, prb.

Would you know anyone who would be keen for an early morning climb on Sat or Sun? I won't have any gear other than my shoes, harness, chalk bag & my grigri. And my yoga mat ..... But I'll have a car and will be staying near Thebarton.

I'm a competent belayer (weigh about 48kg) and can confidently lead to up mid 20s as long as it's not a slab!!!!!

Cheers

Pretty late these days but not so late at the end of February. I'm thinking Norton Summit may be more your style - a sport crag in the next gully to Morialta. I'll PM you with some ideas.
