Actually I was thinking of adding a caveat down the bottom, which is:

Drop-off problems suck, and sit starts do too sometimes, but that doesn't mean I really hate doing em (or understand it's impossible not to sometimes). So we agree. Speaking of sit starts, is Mana the problem with the little finger move to get off the ground? Nasty. Whichever one it is, it looks like the first move is significantly harder than the rest - which is what makes sit starts so contrived sometimes.

Re: Free Willy, yep. Just couldn't see anything for a while, which is probably partly due to the antiquated computer I'm using.

To reinforce the positive, it's a great thing to see some footage of Aussies getting out and doing it. It often surprises me for example, that there isn't more footage of Aussies getting out and doing some Grampians bouldering, considering how saturated the airwaves are with hueco, rocklands and font (understandably of course).
