Climbing at Mount Boyce

Richard's brother Peter was keen to try out climbing for the first time today. Richard tool him to Mount Boyce for a taste on "The Erie". Peter's girlfirend Zoe found a safe pirch to watch from, where she snaped these pictures.



This is Peter seconding up the final pitch of "The Erie". What a great climb too! I'm sitting behind Richard up the top, belaying Sunshine up "Set, Piece, Battle", a harder climb at grade 14 (though I reckon its even harder again). If you look closely at the photo below you can see Sunshine about to sink her teeth into a steep section, while Peter prepares himself for stepping out of the cave on the erete.

Mum's Visit

Mum came to visit over the weekend. Sunshine and I were recovering from colds so I hope we didn't pass it over to her. Cooked up a lamb roast, and mum chewed the bones by the fire, much to the dogs dismay!

We Have Wireless Broadband Now

So a lot of sitting by the fire tapping away at the Internet these days...

Sunshine's Family Visit

Sunshine's parents, brother and sister came to stay over the weekend. Fen and Steve came to the pub where Sunshine used to work. I tool them all down to Mount Piddington the next day and belayed everyone of Hocus Pocus. It was funny to watch.

Chris and Amanda Visit

My old friends Chris and Amanda visited us over the weekend. It was great to see them again. Sunshine and I showed them around the Mountains which put on a lovely show for us all.




We ate out at Cafe Zuppa where Chris told me of his plan to start manufacturing active wear back in Taiwan. I'm looking foward to seeing his products as I can see his been putting a bit of thought into the designs and stuff.



The highlight of the day for me was the visit to Evan's Lookout in the afternoon. Perfect light in perfect weather really made for some nice views and pictures.
