Historical photos from the last 50 years wanted!

The CCSA are interested in collecting a gallery of photos from the last 50 years (and before, if you have any) of the climbing in South Australia, and by South Australians. If you have any photos (in electronic form) that are entertaining, historically significant, or represent an achievement by a South Australian climber, then we would love to get it up on the website.

You can find the Gallery page here.

Wanted: CCSA/South Australian Alpine Achievements

As an extra to the CCSA 50th Anniversary Doug McLean is compiling a record of Alpine Climbing done by CCSA or South Australian climbers. Anyone who would like their Alpine climbing included please email Douglas McLean. If possible include details in Excel (or CSV) format with headings – Date (month, year), Mountain, Height, Location, Route, Grade, Climbers, Style (alpine, solo, 1st ascent, commercial expedition).

Note that the email link above was in error before Monday 17/7/2017, so if you sent anything to Doug before then, it would not have reached him and he would greatly appreciate it if you would resend it. It has now been fixed.
