 Hi all,

Back in Hobart from the Bluies for a brief visit and seeking climbing partner for occasional days between 2nd and 13th Jan.

Day trips only so any sport Hobart climbing (even quarries) would be fine. However I'm also really keen to check out Sand River and Paradiso.

I'm an excellent belayer, leading mid 20s have gri gri, rope, all sports climbing gear and vehicle.

Send me a txt on 0448 463 078 if you're interested.

Some of the older readers of this forum might know of prolific first ascenionist Fred Beckey. Responsible for many iconic and groundbreaking routes throughout North America including - along with Yvon Chouinard - the Beckey-Chouinard in the Bugaboos, Beckey was one of a kind. As I was doing a bit of surfing I came across this obituary that explores his unique life and personality.

And if you fancy a bit of moderate technical difficulties over a long committing route in an alpine setting, here is a topo of the brilliant Beckey-Chouinard that will forever stand as a monument to this phenomenal man:

Hello everyone !

I recently arrived in Tasmania as part of my cycling journey around Australia. Just spent 2 days in Hillwood and really enjoyed it, specially the quirky Far Side. Im planning to be around Lauceston for a while and then head elsewhere in the island. 

Got some sport climbing gear including a rope but I'm very keen on finally starting trad. Did a trad course in NZ but never got to practice. Can climb 17s, maybe 18s once I warm up well :) Msg me if you're looking for a partner or know anyone who does ! My phone number is 0474 165 233 !

Cheers

An aquaintance is coming to Tassie, and looking for a partner for some cool Tassie stuff.

She's a valley local, I believe, saw her there last Fall.

I think she climbs pretty hard.

Contact Alix Morris on Facebook, or post here and I will point her here.

Cheers
