Hi there. I have some time off and i'm thinking of heading over to mt. arapiles for the first time in a couple of weeks. I will be travelling alone and plan to stay for about 3 or 4 months.

Will the weather be ok for climbing if i head over at the start of July? Wet?/Cold?
What will it be like finding people to climb with?
Are you going to be there?

And the big question, What do i need on my rack. At this stage i don't know what weight allowance i will have but i usually take much more gear than i need so i'm trying to get rid of unnecessary items.

So far I plan to take:
Rocks 1-12 (leaving 13 and 14)
Superlights 1-6
Micros 1-6
Ballnutz 1-4
Tricam 0.5, 1
Zeros 4,5,6
Friends 1-3.5 (should i take the 4)
Hex 7,8,9 (would the smaller sizes be useful)

I also have Camalots 0.3-3 but my rack seems large already and i expect most others will have a rack of their own already. I'm planning to climb lots of classics and get on stuff up to around 25 if i get bored of the easy stuff.

Thanks in advance for any advice
