Any good Climbing areas near good trails?

So to cut a long story short, newish to mtb but long time climber.

Does anyone know some nice cliffs near a good trail? I am thinking of a fun combined activity day for some like minded friends.

(I am assuming most would be up in the Blue Mountains?)

Stolen Specialized Stumpjumper Comp

Below is a preview, click to read the full post

My bike was stolen a month ago from the "workshop" at Pedals Plus in Mona Vale. The owner of the shop assured me they had posted a notice here but as I can't find any mention of it, thought I should do so myself.
I bought it second hand and only had it for 3 weeks before it was pinched, so I'm struggling to think of any identifiers. Best I can do is say it was a 2007 Stumpjumper Comp dual suspension Mountainbike in very dark grey (close to black). I actually thought it was a 2008 model but, as the kid at the shop took great delight in telling me, it was actually 2007 spec.

Don't try this at Woodford....

Surely this must be a Darwin Award nominee?

Manly Dam is Closed

As we've discussed, this really shouldn't need saying. But for those who can't make their own mind up here it is from the rangers:

The mountain bike trail at Manly Dam is CLOSED due to the recent rain and wet track conditions. The track is completely waterlogged and runoff from the catchment is further adding to the problem. We'll send out a note when we've reopened, but please be aware that it most likely that the trail will be closed until next week.

Please spread the word to others.

Anyone wishing to be added to the mailing list can email us at: [email protected]

Thanks again for your cooperation.

my suspension fork

Hi guys MountainBiker hear. i have a Diamondback Zetec X4 and the suspension fork on the bike is not the best but i wouldn't say its crap i just need something softer.....getting to the point i was wondering if anyone could suggest/recommend any forks that would fit my bike (the bike is a small i think 14"have to look it up on the website) and is soft enough so a 12 year old could push it down (I'm 12 yes i know I'm young but i love mountain biking)but i have a budget $300 - about $450. I have no idea on how to look for a fork that would fit my bike.

thanks!!
