I’m home now after a week at Arapiles, one of the most important and formative places in the world for me. Just so good to reconnect with this place, be reminded of the brilliance and uniqueness of the rock and the climbing as well as the awesomeness of climbers and the community. Very sad though of course to see what’s going on down there under Park Victoria’s shameful mismanagement, the way politics are playing out and the steps being put in place to destroy a lifestyle and a community. Everyone sees to be nicely playing “wait and see”. Well, we’ll see yes, but it did somewhat feel that I could be documenting some of these areas for the last time… I’ll have more to say of course but in the meantime I’ve got a bunch of new pics to share and lots of positive reminders of the place…
First up here we have Jack Masel on Punks in the Gym (32), which he oh-so-smoothly sent the day I arrived. 👍 🎉
