Well the weather in Tasmania is pretty good just now, but by all accounts it’s cold and wet in Scotland with some snow on the hills to look forward to. Anyone considering an outdoor holiday should consider this Australian island state. So far we have been rock climbing on solid Granite sea cliffs in the Freycinet National Park. Easy access and all grades to go for from around Severe upwards. White Water Wall is the place to head for as a good starter. We climbed four routes there yesterday from around Severe to HVS 5a. Slabs, crimps and meaty jamming cracks, all on ‘trad’ gear. Take 60m ropes and you will gain the top of the crag in one pitch.
Today we climbed on Lassies Wall. Shorter climbs with a selection of grades, all good stuff.
