Jindabyne again!

Well its the time of the year for me to head back to Jindabyne. Life’s been good, just trying to figure out how to get things rolling at the moment.

I’m currently living here, we moved into our place almost a week ago now, and its going very well. I’m living in Jindabyne with Luke and Dylan, with Fiona to come join us in few weeks when uni wraps up.

Our apartment isnt huge, but its about right for the four of us, and has an amazing view of the lake

The view from our balcony over the lake and the town

See? Its very relaxing. Plus we get all the nice lights from town at night – see below

Our first day we were exceptionally lazy, aside from a quite cool session down near the lake, paying our respects to the local boulders. Once we’d knocked over the ones set in the guidebook (colourfully named – such as ’sex scandal with a garden gnome’), we found a new set of runs, and managed to name us a few – Gollum and Spidey. I’ve also picked up some new lenses for my camera – just add-ons, seeing as the stock lens cannot be removed from the F5700 – I scored a wide angle/fisheye and a telephoto, along with a UV, Polarising and … rosecoloured? filter set. I took these down with me, and these are the results – I’m happy so far!

Random hard V2 that we couldnt break

The crux of Gollum - tricky!!

Topping out on spidey

Trying to get the leg-up out of gollums cave - intense!

The signiture hold on Spidey

Finished for the day at The Yard - two new routes!

Work has started well, training and a bit of cleanup, refresher from last year.
Our uniforms are the same as last year, just the new logo sewn on over the top, but at least they’re warm!
Work will be very quiet over the next few weeks, perisher is very quiet, not much snow and guests are scarce, so hours will be short for everyone.

Anyway, that wraps up this post, but I’ll put up the pictures from perisher at the moment in a day or so when I get a chance.
