Show Notes
Lets just cut to the chase! Alexander Megos has sent 'Slice of Heaven' 37/9b the hardest line in Australia.
Located in Nowra Megos spent a good trip there ticking and first ascenting some of the best lines in Cheesedale. A Slice of Heaven (37) being one of his greatest contributions to his ever growing list of development and growth he has brought to Australia.
Ontop of all this Ryan Sklenica has sent his 3rd 36 (originally the hardest grade in Aus). For those counting of the 4 36's in Australia Ryan has sent 3 of them. All his own lines aswell. An incredibly wild stat that cements him at the top of the game currently.

This week we are Hanging with Matt Burgess. I first heard about Matt when someone tagged me in a post of his. Matt was a large advocate for protecting the land around Mt Alexander allowing it to recover from the first that tore through the community last summer. As a local to Castelmaine VIC, Matt was deeply effected by the fires seeing first hand what they can do to communities, wildlife and nature in general. If you take anything from this episode, tread lightly on the land we are so incredibly lucky to walk upon. He's also a mad as coach and got to ask him some questions around his philosophies and avoiding burnouts!
