Totalling the cost of each trip wouldn't you be better off taking a charter a few times a year in the rip chasing kings ? would it be more cost effective ? ... mind you I don't know how much each trip costs you ?.......
Boring.. Hanging off the side of a cliff is way more fun

I really don't think the local shire is going to be happy with fisho's drilling holes in cliffs and installing reinforcement bars.
I agree, much better to go the low impact route, do what rock climbers do and find a bunch of cracks you can get your fist into

There should be no trouble finding cracks of that nature, however, using ypur fist as an anchoring medium would bring tears the eyes I reckon.

I know. It’s like telling someone with a boat go fish off a pier because it’s easier.

I had no idea that is a legitimate rock climbing technique - but I did a google image search for "fisting" and sure enough, it seems legit.
