tyrolean traverse

It's raining in Hobart, so no fun on the Organ Pipes this arvo and I finally decided to have a look at this thread. Once started I had to finish and have now concluded that, like a good guidebook, we should have star ratings for threads on Chockstone.
This thread gets the top rating plus an extra half star (as in Kevin McLane's Squamish guidebook) for sheer deliciousness!
Roll on, ODH, fukface and Simey, and most of all cjradloff76!

I'd never bothered to read all the posts until this rainy melbourne day too. However, this one from M9 got me crying tears of laughter.

I don't know when I will be free, so set a date and I will try and work around it. Late Feb rather than early Feb will probably suit me better.

I expect ODH will be working on this problem in the coming weeks. We can only hope that a trip report will be forthcoming.

Post edit:
Hmm.
Did anyone else notice that shortman has deleted his post offering the initial $300 to help Clinton out?

I’m in regardless of when it happens or if I get the left over rope, it sounds like a good laugh. Iv got a 50m 11mm static, and various other rigging bits and pieces so you don’t have to lug everything up here. Darryl AKA rightarmbad or I can go over and scope out suitable anchors and feasibility some time prior to commencement we/I can grab some pictures too.

ODH the nearest strip club would be a solid hour and a half away, but the Cleveland sands has titty girls on some Fridays.

Absolute gold.

My apologies shortman.
When I thought it 'missing' I was looking on this thread, and indeed if I had searched more thoroughly, I wouldn't have falsely accused you of withdrawing the post.
I am sorry if I offended you or your reputation.

What happened to Clinton's last post? I swear there was a post outlining his most recent plans for the traverse, but now it's gone....

Am I dreaming???
