I didnt have an interest in climbing that side of sydney since only a few minutes further and im in the mountains. Thats the main reason i hadn't bought a printed guide. Didn't know the ebook was there until i saw this thread. And at $3 i thought why not. Had a lok through it and now i might head out for a climb at some of the places.
By the way i also like the gesture of sending the proceeds back into climbing.
