Here we are braving the 40 degree celcius (100F) heat at Summer Day Valley in Grampians National Park, about 3 hours west of Melbourne. We got to scale 4 different routes on the back wall, the highest being about 25 feet, the hardest a grade 17. It was loads of fun and I came out unharmed other than a rope burn on my hand from belaying. The abseiling (rappelling) was completely scary standing backwards over a ledge, but exhilirating too. After the steamy climb, we took a cool, refreshing dip in Mackenzie Falls.
