RB  --  It was quite exciting to see the rock for the first time, pictures just don't do it justice.  We arrived mid arvo  and they reckoned I should head to it straight away if I wanted to climb it as it was likely to close and could be closed the next day.  So off we went,  It is a very large rock!   Jeanette chose not to climb as it is quite intimidating and steep.  I gave it a shot but didn't get to the top.  I got about 3/4 the way up the chain, but it got really windy, to the point the Rangers came and closed the climb down.  To be honest it felt really unsafe with the wind and I had the wrong shoes on, slipped twice which was quite unnerving especially when the wind picked up.  I was a little disappointed but didn't really feel the need to actually get all the way to the top, happy with where I stopped.  Below a few pics, 1st real sighting.
A couple of views from that 3/4 mark and the sunset over the rock which was really beautiful.  The weather  still great I think about 28, but the nights pretty fresh.

from Jeanette - as Ross said the Rock was awesome.  When I first saw it I couldn't believe just how BIG it really is.  I couldn't stop looking at it.  I did start to climb it but my legs started to go jelly and I thought Nah this is not going to be easy so I decided to sit and watch Ross climb it.  I did think that climbing it was a silly thing to do seeing that there have been 35 people die from climbing it already.  We were very impressed with the Rock at sunset, really beautiful.  Thanks for reading.
