A bit of trad

Went trad climbing yesterday in the blue mountains at mount Piddington. A lovely day although it could have been a bit cooler. It was a instructional course run by the SURMC and I managed to learn alot and have a good time doing it, even absailing off a climb in the dark when the last climb took a bit longer than expected was pretty good. Sadly no photos though. Also managed to see some rock warblers for the first time and some very large cunningham skinks as well.
