Silly fall onto spikey tree. I have been "hard" sport climbing too much recently to remember to switch to a more conservative mindset on a multi when the consequences of falling and injury are worse. Lesson learned for next time!
This was such a cool pitch, so much value. I really enjoyed the traverse, step out back onto the arete and the bulge sequence. So fun and thought provoking.
A little more exciting because I didn't go far enough to the right to find the bolts and ran it out between trees. Climbing was easy and felt just like tibro spacing on easy territory so I wasn't stressed. Did have a chuckle when I eventually saw how many bolts I had skipped oops!
This was meant to be my lead but I swapped with Grace cuz I was feeling a bit woozy after dressing my leg with some first aid supplies. It was a glorious sequence under the roof and stepping out onto the headwall, loved it. Even with loads of extenders the rope drag seemed pretty bad!
I got my head screwed back on to finish the climb strong. This pitch was The starting move was a bit tough to commit to but once I went for it and stood up it was jug city and flowy moves up in the sky almost to the top. I wasn't expecting the top out to have a final cruxy move but it kept things interesting for sure, especially when I was one draw short and had to repurpose a locker...
Superfun for a 13. Lots of variety and the rope drag wasn't too much with a heap of slings. The feeling topping out and looking out over the valley was so special. Wildflowers and blue skies. Happy climber!

What an adventure! It was a great mixture of thoughtful moves for the first 3 pitches and then headwall glory for the last 3.
Overall the climb was easier than I expected (phew) but I did have an unfortunate lapse in concentration/decision making skills whilst leading P2 and made a sketchy move above the ledge mid pitch. I fell a decent way onto a spikey tree. Sorry tree.
I was a bit shaken up but I managed to pull it together and keep going.
Bunny Bucket was very enjoyable even with a flesh wound Thanks Grace for being my rope wife! Can't wait for our next trip to the Bluies!
