Rock climbing 2:00:00 [3]
Mt Arapiles. Ordinary Trees.
The weekend was a reacquaintance with a past enthusiasm. Climbed well within my potential, and just sought the feel of the rock, the exercise walking to the cliff with heavy packs, controlling anxiety at exposure and remembering the mechanics of nut placement and belay structure. At the end I am looking forward to something a bit more challenging.

Note
Watched the Kurt Wallander film last night and was amused to pick the crucial clue... an orienteering map on the seat of an abandoned car. The owner of the car was dead, but he had left a map on the seat of the car with a training run marked on it. Someone retraced his steps and found the hideout. But why did he leave a second copy of his planned route on a map in the car. Thats an attention to safety that few I know follow.
Notable aspects of the plot that are revealing about the place of orienteering in Swedish culture.
1. The training run was for a 55 year old man and was judged to be long enough to take a day to walk. Treated as unremarkable.
2. A standard local copper was quite confident of his ability to follow the route on the orienteering map. He wasn't even asked if he thought he could manage the navigation. It was assumed.
3. A standard local copper was eager for a day out walking the route by himself in the forest. He only became nervous when someone shot at him.
Lets assume the map is found by an Australian cop in this fair land.
1. Wouldn't know it was an orienteering map.
2. Wouldn't be able to follow it.
3. Wouldn't want to follow it.
Unless the car was found in Canberra environs by a copper by the name of Bluett.
