I was dreading the school holidays. Worried I would be stuck in front of the computer finishing a project and Coco stuck in front of the TV or computer games and the inevitable arguments. Yeah, I know, bad parent, not enough time… But thankfully we did have time, a decision was made and off to Arapiles we all went.It was different being there as a family, than 25 years ago as a resident dirtbag. How good it was to now share this special place with my daughter, show her around, explain things to her. Camping. Picking up a stumpy. Catching her as she leaped into my arms a millisecond after seeing a snake… And lots of other families there too. Good atmosphere. It’s unique.The transformation I saw in Coco in those ten days warmed my soul. As a climber, she’s talented and goes great in the gym but I’ve never pushed her to climb outside. She wouldn’t climb for the first few days, honestly, I think she was scared. Then she started by top-roping a 2 and we worked up slowly from there. Day by day her confidence grew. Then we took her on her first multi-pitch, the 4 pitch Arachnus (8), and she loved it!Coco finished the trip on a high, smashing a 17 in the morning before we got in the car to start the drive home. She passed $10 to me and said “here Dad, give this to the ACAV for me”. Coco was sick of hearing my Grampians talk but now she was starting to understand what it was about.But it is complex. How do you begin to explain it to a ten-year-old when our politicians and bureaucrats refuse to countenance that maybe not all is as it seems? This is about far more than our self-interest as climbers. At some points there is politics, power and money involved and thus we might not be able to make a difference. But unless we fight the lies, the dishonesty, the opaqueness, the misuse of laws, the threats to livelihoods for something said, the departmental deafness, unreasonableness which will inflame racism, the wilful blindness to real threats to the cultural and environmental values, the commodification of these public lands… Unless we fight we have not only let down ourselves and our daughters, but every Australian and every future generation as well.

A great end to the day - and also her trip! Brittany Griffith @brittany_griffith races the setting sun, on pitch three of Weaselburger (23), in the Grose Valley, Blue Mountains. It’s just my opinion, but it doesn't get much better than the first three pitches of this route.@patagoniaaus @patagonia_climb

Oh yeah, rock climbing…

It has been good getting after the shots again and catching up with the legend Brittany Griffith. Here she is thriving in the funky traddyness of Catch the Wind (21) at Engineer’s Cascade, Blue Mountains.@patagoniaaus @patagonia_climb

A rare shot of me climbing... @moniqueforestier and I have been doing some training with the Australian Climbing Instructors Association and have just sat – and passed – our Single Pitch Guide exam. Woohoo! I’ve been climbing for 36 years and there’s one thing I’ve learnt – never assume you know it all. As such, it was a delight to undergo an intensive learning experience with two super-skilled guides and fantastic teachers – Marty Beare and Adam Darragh. Thanks guys! Good times. The set ups and systems for safe single pitch guiding are unique, and so it doesn’t really matter how much climbing you’ve done, if you don’t know them, well, you don’t know. After all the training and then two-day assessment, well my brain was well fried. Not planning a switch of career into full time guiding, but should help with some things Monique and I might be doing with her coaching business @climbingaustralia. And who knows, might get us out of tight spot one day…. Props and respect to all the guides out there!

A throwback to a far more innocent time... David Jones on his route One Bed To The Left (27), on Cliché Wall in The Grampians, back in 1997.Let's face it, Parks Victoria and the government have made a mistake, we want to help them out of the ever increasing hole they are digging for themselves but they need to start helping themselves by first of all really listening and actually doing something.... The more and more we learn about all this, the more gob-smacking it becomes. There could be a book and/or a doco in all this.... Strange days indeed.

Cherry Baylosis @cherry_b_crimpin leading with Monique Forestier @moniqueforestier belaying on pitch six of The Regular Route (23, 25, 24, 21, 24, 22, 23), at Perrys Lookdown in the Blue Mountains.This is one of my favourite shots taken this year for the new Blue Mountains guidebook. A unique route in a unique position deserved some effort to find a good angle, though this still has potential and remains a bit of a work-in-progress for me.If you're after some photo tips, @rockandicemag recently republished a little article here, it's old but not much has changed. Goggle "Shoot Like Simon Carter". And, by the way, if you're ever wondering if your guidebook has the latest information re access or anything important, there's just one web address you need to check: www.onsight.com.au/bluemtns.
It's mentioned in the guidebook in several places but it never hurts to get a reminder.I haven't been posting many pics of late, with what's going on in the Grampians and all the issues that surround it, it feels like it's avoiding the elephant in the room. The issues are complex, follow the ACAV @acav_official and see what comes to light.Thanks to Cherry and Monique for providing the psyche for this one and reminding us what it's all about. And thanks to @lasportivaaustralia @lasportivagram @sterlingrope and @prana for their support.Onwards and upwards.
