Getting a little slack on the blog, so these photos are a tad late. In fact I wasn’t going to even bother putting them up, but I got a request for “more climbing photos .. and less technical bullshit”

So a long time ago we went for a Sunday’s climb up at Gibraltar Peak. The walk in was, cough, a little longer than I remembered, but we made it eventually.

The weather wasn’t particularly kind to us, but we squeezed a few in before lunch. I recall I lead White Rabbit – which was squeezy, and rather precarious going through the rabbit hole – I took a cam for that section at George’s suggestion and was glad I had it.

The cool photos are of Julien leading something I’m not sure the name of, and couldn’t be bothered looking up in the guide book. But I remember it was hard. White Rabbit finishes near where he is in the third picture, but comes up from inside the stack of boulders.

So the tools at Austereo have come out and said that their two talentless publicity whore DJs will be back on the air next week.

But it’s OK, they won’t be interviewing 14 year old girls about their experiences of sexual assault while strapped to a lie detector anymore .. at least not on air:

“The station has implemented new structures and systems in relation to the use of time delay, pre-recording and procedures dealing with interviews to avoid a repetition of the occurrence on 29 July 2009,” it said.

Which, translated into something an Austereo DJ might understand, means “next time pre-record the ####ing interview, so we can edit out the bad bits before we put it to air! You lunk head”.

So until Austereo gets some ethics, or more likely ACMA force them to, I won’t be listening to the following Austereo stations:

• 2Day FM
• Triple M
• Fox FM
• B105
• SAFM
• 929 Perth
• Mix 94.5 Perth
• NXFM
• KO(ma)FM
• FM 104 Canberra

.. not that I would anyway, because they’re all total crap .. but hey.
