Until late 2001 Craig Roberts was a PhD student at the School of Surveying & Spatial Information Systems (formerly the School of Geomatic Engineering), The University of New South Wales. He graduated from the University of South Australia with a Bachelor of Surveying in 1988. He began his career as a private surveyor in Adelaide. He has since worked as a Geodetic Engineer at UNAVCO, Colorado, USA involved with GPS for geodynamic studies in Nepal, Ethiopia, Argentina and Indonesia. Later he was employed by the GeoForschungsZentrum, Germany, where his main duty was to perform orbit determination and prediction for a number of geodetic research satellites.

Recent Climbs:
In August/September 1999, I travelled to Germany, France and Italy for a climbing holiday. Highlights of the Ranken/Roberts team included;
- the famous Comici Route on the north wall of the largest of the Trei Cimai in the Dolomites in northern Italy.
- Les Rideaux de Gwendal in the Verdon Gorge, south France.
- La Rebouffet, Augille du Midi, Chamonix, south France.
Sept 2000. Burramoko Buttress & Bladderhozen in the Grose Valley, Blue Mountains. Jan 2001 I climbed Hard Rain at Mt Buffalo. Easter 2001 at Moonarie I climbed The Big Picture, Expiry Date and almost onsighted Goblin Mischief as well as a host of other classics.
Fatherhood has taken its toll on climbing adventures but I have managed to fit in a quick trip to Frog Buttress in Queensland in July 2002 with the formidable Will Ranken. Highlights included a rude awakening on Resurrection culminating in Conquistador.
Easter 2003 included a memorable ascent of Powerdive on Mt Abrupt in the southern Grampians with a more memorable evening descent.
Nov 2003 was another micro-trip including 20th Century Fox on Mt Fox and the exciting Martin Eden on Mt Rosea both in the Grampians.
Now I struggle to stay fit..
