Clare climbing in the Blue Mtns over the weekend! I love hanging and taking photos! I struggled so much on these climbs, I need to get in shape, no more pearl teas for me!

Me and Christine outside the Sydney Opera house! It feels so good to be back, it is almost like I never left, except for the fact that everyone has different haircuts!!

Arapiles!!

This sunday, I am travelling 12 hours to go to one of the best crags in the world, Mt. Arapiles, http://www.arapiles.net/. I am a bit nervious, I am a bit weak these days (travelling tends to do that), and this is going to be some crazy climbing! I have been training a bit indoors, I have worked 7 of the last 8 days, today is a break day! I am starting to feel stronger, especially in my arms and stomach. My goal is to be able to do chin-ups on 4 fingers like the other girls I climb with! One day...

It is all trad (traditional climbing, no rings in the cliffs, I am going to have to trust myself to make my own protection). It is going to be great! Plus it has been a good month since I have camped, I have kind of missed sleeping in a tent. Soon I will have lots of climbing photos!

Back in Australia

I am back, I missed Sydney heaps! I had welcome back drinks and put the pic up on my Photo-Friends page. Or you can just go to http://www.serablue.com/kristi/welcome.html. The guys I know from windsuring partied hard, some out until 5am with me!
