Sepent Trip 13/02/2010

[Hound]

Hello climbers,

This coming Saturday there is Serpent trip planned.

Serpent is a sporty overhung wall about 2 hours from Brisbane. It offers shady climbing in the morning and afternoon.

You can access a guide for this area here:
http://www.qurank.com/guides/Guide_Serpent.pdf

Serpent is a fun area with some quite unique climbs. Post here if you wish to go and if you are a driver/passenger.

You will need to organise your own gear with the quatermasters at the cliffs.

I'm in! It's been a long time since my last trip now.
I'll sort out the gear I need... But I will need a ride, and can meet up at the cliffs.

[Snappy]

Still never been to Serpent... I'm in.

[kirsty.kitto]

[Will]

guide makes the place sound good, too bad i'm working, next time perhaps

[mrmedix]

I'd like to go somewhere, anywhere. Have all my gear, will need a lift.

[Alex]

Hi,

I am in as well. Have all my gear. I can also offer a lift.

cheers
Alex

Put my name down. Have gear, will need a ride. It's been too long since my last trip.

Ok, here is the current standing:


Tom - Driver
Therese
Bjorn

Alex - Driver
Kirsty
Aaron


My suggestion is that you meet at KP at around 7:30am to 8am. But this will be up to the drivers. I suggest the seconders contact the drivers.

[kirsty.kitto]

going to print a guide today... doesn't sound too hard to find... maybe both cars should meet up somewhere on the way?
Have any of us been here before? (Bjorn?)

[Aaron]

I just want to be 100% you picking us up from KP or our places Alex?
I have GPS on my phone, we'll be fine

[Alex]

Aaron,

I will pick you up at your place and Kirsty at her place.
I´ve got GPS as well so we should be fine. See you in the morning.

Alex

[mrmedix]

I've never been.

[Snappy]

It's ok, I am pretty sure I know how to get there Bjorn, it's on the eastern side of Mt Coolum

[Aaron]

The image below is NOT from Serpent.
After overlooking the now overgrown trail and rain, Serpent was called off. With everyone keen for a climb still we headed to Coolum.

A great day out regardless.
I think this lil panorama sums up our day nicely.

[mrmedix]

Yeah we got lost a bit on the way, but we managed to get to Coolum to do some climbing eventually! =D

[Snappy]

It's ok, I am pretty sure I know how to get there Bjorn, it's on the eastern side of Mt Coolum

Whoever doubted my directions, I mean really...?
