Tie in. Belay On. Enjoy the climb.

This story joins the Grasshopper, Gilligan, the Teacher, the Giggler, Bigfoot, Rambo and the Chock at Kangaroo Point cliffs, Brisbane. They have setup top ropes on Olos and Snake in the Grass. Gilligan is preparing to lead Surrender.

Meanwhile, Bigfoot is being attacked by a swarm of angry sand flies. The Grasshopper descends to the bottom of the cliff to rescue Bigfoot. He offers him a bottle of insect repellent, but Bigfoot angrily discovers the spray nozzle is missing.

"Enough is enough! I have had it with these motherfucking flies on this motherfucking cliff!" He tells everybody to "saddle up", because he is "about to climb some fucking rocks"

After everybody gets prepared, the cliff lights go out. This incites Bigfoot into extreme climbing. Within a record 15 minutes, Bigfoot has successfully cleaned Snake in the Grass!

If you thought Bigfoot’s profanity at Snake was obscene, the Pineapple girl was in full trash talk mode tonight. The poor Grasshopper was the brunt of many jokes. Fired up, the Giggler had a score to settle with her nemesis: Snake in the Grass. She climbed with confidence, pausing only a couple of times gathering her thoughts.

The Evil Ledge of Death was traversed successfully due to the absence of light. The Giggler is now a couple of metres below the anchor and Bigfoot says, "Do as I say and you live". Now Bigfoot tells the Giggler about the undercling which she grabs hold of and successfully cleans the climb!

The Chock watched and studied the ascents carefully. Despite the lack of footwear, the Chock under careful instruction of the Giggler and Bigfoot successfully climbs past each difficult section. Now Bigfoot tells the Chock that if he does as Bigfoot says, he will live. Chock protests "Where do I go? There are no more holds!". Bigfoot reminds Chock – "Do as I say and you live".

The Chock lived.

Meanwhile on the adjacent climbs, Gilligan was leading Surrender and the Teacher was top roping Olos.

Gilligan clipped the first pro backwards (the rope was running over the top of the draw). Just then all sorts of profanities was being screamed out nearby (this was Bigfoot howling at the flies, arms in full helicoptor swings). This sent a chill down Gilligans spine, which had put him off momentarily. Despite the awkward and frightening start, Gilligan cleaned the climb to setup a top rope.

The Teacher asked for an audience on Olos. He was to demonstrate how to clean Olos successfully. As with all demonstrations, things did not go as planned. The traverse onto the slab proved difficult. No amount of Faz gymspastics was enough to contort himself up the headwall.

Rambo was back (he found his headband) and decided to try the Olos Slab. He did remarkably well to get a couple of moves off the platform. The holds are very thin, flaky and the series of cracks are spaced in such a way balance is also a factor.

Despite the Grasshopper’s painful toe nails (they are falling off) and the trash talk he was copping for it, he resisted the Olos Slab taunts and cleaned Surrender before attempting the Olos (corner). Following the Teacher, the right traverse onto the slab proved difficult. The right toe was complaining too. A few failed attempts proved too much and the Grasshopper descended off the slab.

During the night, the following insightful banter was discussed:

• The Giggler is threatening (again) to quit el Caro if the bonus / pay rise is not enough.
• Gilligan is happy just to get the el Caro watch for 5 years service.
• Bigfoot fought off more snakes at Anaconda. He brought home some trophies: tent, air mattress, a picnic set and a camping pillow.
• The Grasshopper was showing off his new toy, a Dopod 838pro. Despite the many functions and gadgetry, when Rambo asked for the time, the Grasshopper could not offer it.
  
• The Teacher wanted to vote for Mr Free Marijuana in the Brisbane Central by-election. He wasn’t running in this electorate, so the Teacher ticked Grace Grace because it was a silly stoopid name.
• Rambo was happy he found his headband. Otherwise it would prove difficult spotting holds through a forest of red hair in your face.
• Chock was at a loss for words. He thought he was in a Seinfeld episode with all the aforementioned banter.
