I was on Cardio FUnk at MQ yesterday and found a geocache half way up. This is not the most ideal place for a cache! You climb a hard section, reach up for the jug and grab a lunchbox tied to a pin! I am thinking it was an idiotic abseiler that placed it here. I did not remove it…yet. If anyone knows who put it there they might want to get them to retrieve it. It has been there as far as i can tell since around the middle of the year.

I think that was Jay. I saw it there after he was working his proj that goes left out the undercling from the break on cardio. My guess is that you would find some cams inside…..
Logan
Proect going out left? is this antitrust? There was just a notebook inside. ONly some randoms leaving some notes saying they had been there. I dont think Jay would be involved in that kind of thing.
Emil
Weird. Kinda like a hut book then, but half way up a climb… Very weird. Maybe DEC is trying to monitor traffic on hard routes…
No Jays climb went from the break, diagonally left around that undercling flake and finishes on the anchors of that crappy route left of CF.

Go to http://www.geocaching.com
It is a kind of GPS game where people put caches in wierd spots and others find them etc. Super Wierd! Almost as wierd of climbing up 15m chipped routes in a quarry 🙂

Hey Loges, what happened to Steve? I heard he had a little meeting with the wall, how bad is it?
cheers
Logan
Yeah. Steve has a broken ankle! Fell right at the top of sweet pea, sooo close to tickage. Foot must have hit an uneven surface when he landed and it rolled over. Its not too bad, broken but still in place so he has a plaster cast for 2 weeks then gets a fibreglass one.

Hey Logan!
Did that happen just after I left? Please send my regards.
Logan
No worries richard. Yeh just after you left.
Bored at work
Sorry to hear someone got hurt. Hope they recover soon.
On the subject of the geocache, I think I have found it here…

That’s one cool abseiler!
Logan
My God! Is this what the world is coming to? Gumby abseilers sticking stuff on classic routes. The cache will be removed next time i am out there. Sorry Shaun… come climbing sometime.
Emil
OMG what a noddy!

I placed the cache with the assistance of a few climbers. If it is a problem I am happy to review its location. This W/E is out, next is looking better. Would appreciat you leaving it in place till I can get there.

I havent read the previous posts on this, I assumed the top post was the last. It appears your forum has the latest at the bottom. I take exception to the reference to GUMBY ABSEILERS. This cache was placed with the assistance of on of WA’s better climbers. I have seen the antics of some climbers at the quarry who should go home and play with Gumby. We all enjoy different sports, mine is abseiling and geocaching. Its a public area, for all users. As previously stated I am happy to review this placement. Now you know its there perhaps you would sign the log book and join in the game. Either way I will do as I stated in the previous post.
HAVE SOME FUN
leave it there mate, the wankers who don’t like it its bad luck for them it is fun doesnt hurt anyone and is unique
Friend
Had some friends who lived together and they would play a similar game. they called it ‘hiding hanky’. what it involved was doing a shit in a unique place within there house, last persons shit to be found was the winner. the key was to hide it somewhere it didnt stink. winner was a beauty, they removed all the margirine out of its tub, placed the shit in it and covered it back up with the margarine. got discovered when one of them was making a vegemite sandwich. nice one. also heard of one being placed in a slushy machine, but thats a differnet story.
Friend
incase your wondering ‘what the…?’
moral to the story is ‘dont place the shit where it stinks’.
huha
you need to get out more

“Friend”, your comments are insulting to anyone reading the message board and degrading to other members of CAWA that you are presumably associated with. I hope that all climbers are not as narrow minded and insulting as you are. Logan has expressed his opinion that the cache could cause a safety issue for climbers and therefore it should be removed. Apart from the reference to “Gumby Abseilers” he has managed to do it in a manner that doesn’t cause offence. Perhaps you, “Friend”, could learn from his example.

No friend of “Friend” – get a life and lighten up. In case you dont get out much, online forums are exactly the place for flaming and having a laugh at at noobs expense. If CAWA members are offended by banter then theyre a stuffy lot….
Friend
First of all I would like to apologize to those who found my story ‘offensive’.
I didnt write it to be offensive, but I thought it was a light hearted story stating that the placement of the geocache may have been inappropriate on such a climb, also due to safety reasons. Maybe the story was a little too much for some. Although I never took part in the game and never would, I still think the story is funny, cause there really is some crazy people out there with too much time on there hands. I also spend all my time out pursuing the challenges in life that I desire most like, Surfing, climbing, canyoning, mountain bike riding, Hiking, camping etc just like all of you.
so once again my apologies.
No friend of “Friend”
Thanks, “Friend” for having the integrity to apologise for your comments that I found offensive. Perhaps I could be your friend after all…
By the way, I do have a life and I do get out, I am involved with Indoor Rock Climbing, Abseiling, Hiking, Mountain Biking, Canoing, GeoCaching, etc. with youth groups. I haven’t done much outdoor rock climbing yet, but that could change over time.
Enjoy the best that Nature has to offer and remember that there are many interest groups out there all trying to enjoy Nature in their own way. Let’s try to work together rather than fighting each other, and it will all be so much more pleasurable for all.
Mr Hanky
Personally i’d rather hear another poo story
