Everyone has asked me if I did some climbing while I was down under. The short answer is yes, but the longer answer is ‘no, not really’.
With wide-eyes and a naive mind I trekked my helmet, harness, and shoes all around Australia and New Zealand. I was able to use the helmet when I was Canyoneering in the Blue Mountains but sadly only used the harness/shoes once, at a free indoor climbing gym connected to the hostel in Turangi.
Here’s proof!
Next time I’m planning either a climbing trip or a sight-seeing trip, but not both. It was interesting to see the different rating systems though. Apparently I am a less-good climber down under. I’ll blame it on being out of practise. That or not being allowed to have my ‘Lollie’ while I was climbing…
