Well, not quite; that is two years away. But it is never too early to start training. These are a few photos of a little light limestone rock climbing on cliffs near Pennington Bay, on Kangaroo Island.

I don’t have any doubt about my climbing ability. But I need to get accustomed to the heights and drop offs. I will spend some time at a climbing wall in Adelaide this weekend to test some skills.

But I am sixty this year (how the heck did that happen?) and time is ticking. If I don’t do Mt Blanc and the Matterhorn soon, I will run out of time.
