Aid climbing 1-Aug-2014 At 3:04:32 PM Cali

Hey,
I'm keen to get into aid climbing a bit more seriously. I have dabbled a little in the states a few years back (couldn't have gone to Yosemite and not got on a big wall) but would love someone who knows the ropes (pun intended) to head out with to get efficient and learn some tricks. A mate (aid beginner) and I would like to get up ozy at the end of the year sometime. Between us we have most of the gear, except portaledge and haul bags. Does anyone know of anyone/anywhere that would loan/hire out this kind of kit? Or anyone with used gear for sale cheap?

Also what are some good aid practice lines around Geelong/Melbourne that would be good to get on to dial leading and jugging? (You yangs?) - I'm based in Geelong.

Ps- for all the aid haters out there I'm not interested in hearing why I should go and climb something easier that I can get up without aid. I'm interested in the adventure of going somewhere I can't get otherwise with some good mates.
