Hi Yvonne
Send your email address to chocfiend at hotmail dot com and I will chuck you on my email list of climbers. A group of us try to head out every weekend (or week day if free) and we occasionally do climbing/camping trips outside the metro area, weather and time permitting. February is a great time for heading down south – travelling time 2 1/2 to 5 hours, depending on where. Car pooling can be arranged if you don’t have transport.
Putting a notice up in the climbing gyms is good for finding new climbing buddies too. CAWA run gym crashes once a month, advertised on the home page of this site. They are very handy for meeting new people, and eating pizza 🙂
