Rescue on Arapiles - Melbourne Cup Weekend 9-Nov-2009 At 2:00:34 PM benwolf

Hi all,

For anyone who saw (or heard about) all the emergency vehicles around The Pines on Cup weekend here's the full story of what happened. And by the way this was my first rock climb! What an introduction :)

Many many massive amounts of thanks and general groveling to Muki, Lachlan and Aaron who showed up to scrape my lead climber off the side of Tiger Wall. Extra thanks also to Lachlan who resurrected my weekend by taking me climbing the next day and showing me how it's supposed to work.

I'm publishing this at Lachlan Hick's suggestion that it might help prevent someone else doing the same thing.

Interested in everyone's thoughts...
