Where are you planning to climb?

Given the poor quality of our climbing and lack of experience, it will be around Summerday........
Unless you can point us to a place that is abundant with low grade climbs!

Bundaleer and Mountain Lion cliffs both contain good things under grade 16.

Except Mountain Lion is probably more suited to Ice climbing at this time of year - wait a couple of months before committing to a trip there - you'll enjoy it a whole lot more when its warmer.

Yes good warmup that one (Grade 21) ...... I was thinking that Centurion may be just a little too hard for Maria and James. There is little in the way of top rope setup + low grades.......

I said nothing about Killer Wolf being a warm up ! I just said i'd like to give it another go !! There is also that 18 off to the right that Neil took us up which is a perfect beginners climb.

Where are you guys going to stay, our little group might be up to a little socialising. There may be up to 8 of us, ages 23 to 40, m & f.

Peter - Probably Chinamans lodge. All are welcome! They have plenty of room plus a bar all for about 20 bucks a room.
Jevon - Stop boasting >:-) :-- . That 18 sucks up cams. Since I have only, 3 where do you plan to get the others. It aint straight up either. It moves out a way to the right.

well we have 5 cams Gareth so you should be fine :-)
But I am sorry to say that an 18 does not sounds like a beginner climb to me - bring on the 10's!

There is no worthwhile grade 10's at Centurion!

Ok guys - the weekend is now approaching - anyone else who'd like to join in with this trip to the Gramps feel free to let us know.
It'll be a fairly low key visit I think - mainly easier stuff (<20) or so. Some trad leading, some top roping.
Currently the plan is for us to stay at the Chinamans lodge (Except Jevon, who apparently prefers his van.)
