I'll be in the Seal Island Bridge area this saturday. If anybody is getting on some CB ice I have some gear and wheel?

Can't go myself, but go to "Georges River" area, which is a Deep Cove sized cliff, but with a much better view.

It is 3-4 kms north of Barrachois, facing west toward Long Island, about 7 kms south west of Georges River, near Sydney.

This map gets you close (scroll left).

Photo of Eager climbing there attached below, as well as a shot of about half the face. It was enough for a good day out.

A monk asked Quiglin Shiqian, "What is a person who has realized the Way?"
Quiglin said, "Embracing the ice and snow, head and eyebrows held high."

Hi Conan, I'm keen to get onto some ice this weekend. However my vehicle's still in the shop so I'll need to bum a lift. Are you going up for the day or are you already going to be up there?
