Grampians Tomorrow

Just cooked myself some dinner in the hostel in Melbourne, pasta and tomato sauce :). Just about the only thing I can cook. And by tomato sauce I mean ketchup.

I went to two different rock gyms today and yesterday looking for climbers going to the Grampians this weekend, unfortunately the forecast isn't great so not many people are going up and I couldn't find a ride. But I'm going to take the train up tomorrow anyway. Some of the climbing is so close to horizontal that it stays dry even in storms. On a positive note I onsighted (climbed first try without falling) the hardest route in the first gym I went too; impressed the guy I was climbing with haha. For any climbers reading it was a 28, or 5.12d in american climbing grades. And the second gym I went to a really good bouldering gym, and packed with serious climbers so that was fun. 

The weather in Melbourne hasn't been great. It was nice the day I arrived, cool but not cold. Today however it rained all day, and I got drenched in the early afternoon because I walked really far away from the hostel as it was sprinkling, then by the time it truly started raining I was about almost an hour away....

So I won't have Internet when I'm camping, but when I do I'm sure I'll have a load of climbing photos to upload. There's a McDonald's in the town nearest the campsite, so if I can get there I'll use the their wifi.

Thanks for reading!
