Arapiles and Grampians 2003/4

Pommy and I headed down to the Meccas of Australian climbing over Christmas and New Years. We had simply planned to climb at the Grampians, but some really cold wet weather chased us over to the Scab also known as Arapiles. We arrived at midday and almost ran up to D-Minor and climbed it as if we were the only people at the crag. Evidently the foul weather the days before had chased everyone away - who's complaining???

The rest of the days melted into each other in a blur of joyous climbing chatting and posing for the camera...

Soon Pommy returned with Kim from a weekend trip down the great ocean road. Soon he had his first epic ever and we were running up and down the organ pipes trying to find him. Give him a belay at a sport crag to get the hole story...

We wandered back to the Gramps to finish the trip up with some harder sport and a little swimming in the creeks!

Enjoy the piccies,

Simon
