Soft rock adventure....

Managed to sneak out of the city and climb at a pretty fantastic crag in the Glasshouse Mountains an hour north of Brisbane on Sunday. This crag is a typical Ryholite volcanic type that cools slowly from molten rock, leaving behind columar pillars with cracks and aretes----aka.....excellent climbing. The rock was a little soft (maybe like hard chalk) and gear probably would have ripped out in a big fall, but was fantastic to climb, and highly featured...

Heres some pics of the day, did a fantastic 5star climb called 'icehouse'...very scary but altogether straightforward and a long rope stretching 50m pitch...lots of air!!

heres the view....


ready for some runouts on soft rock...
