I was fortunate enough to be able to partner up with climbing guru Kim Ladiges for a day of ice climbing on Ben Lomond. Kim spends most of the year travelling around the world climbing hard rock and mountain routes. We climbed at The Knuckle and had a great day out despite the lack of a decent winter and little snow.

Mark Oates of Wild Oates Productions is an Outdoor Education Teacher now based in Hobart who enjoys spending his time either having outdoor adventures with students, family and friends, or dreaming up ideas for more epic adventures. A keen whitewater kayaker of many years, Mark has turned to the darkside recently and these days he can frequently be found in or beside a packraft with rarely a kayak in sight. Originally from Victoria, Mark fell in love with Tasmania's wild places many years ago but made the permanent move to Hobart with his wife Jen and their Border Collie Hamlet in 2010. In the last couple of years Mark has made the move to videophotographry to try and capture some of the stories of his, Jen's and Hamlets 'Wild Oates' adventures.
