and im even keener to do scary trad stuff - just bought a couple of screamers (single use shock absorbing sling type things ;) ) from the mainly tramping sale!!!

well there is some cool multipitch climbing to do in mangatepopo valley.... if there is not much snow about, you want to give that a shot?its all trad but im more than happy to lead it :)

hehe...extreme couching.... i think we can take this up a level and away from suburbia.... does anyone wanna figure out how to abseil with a couch? or a desk and office chair at the same time (go abseiling, do some work... AT THE SAME TIME!!!)?i think its doable.....Ollie

yeah, i think the extension cord gremlins were at large... im missing a shortish white extension cord... think it was packed into the box in regans car before i could nab it....

hmmm, i could be convinced..... how crazy you wanna go??

nooooooo not the 8th of june..... i have a exam on the saturday morning (the 9th)!!!!! and another exam on monday afternoon!!!

hurrah!!! this calls for double brown!!!:)

yeah, Glenns climbing shop/website is www.iclimb.co.nz and he does have some pretty snazzy alpine gear - time to stock up for mid winter tramping?

well im gonna be there...brilliant!!!i have been so tempted to buy that boxed set of monty python...all the flying circus episodes...just for $99!!!must resist it.... must buy climbing gear....Ollie

hmmm, could be cool to check out, if you could forward me the details and see if it fits in with my insanely busy winter....Ollie
