Ascents in Blue Mountains by Caitlin Hurley

Easy climb. My first ever trad lead though!!! Very memorable... for both me and Mash's nut that will never be quite the same again...

Took 3 goes to work out how to hand-jam, and with the stretch in the double rope I had to redo the start moves every time! Once going though this was an awesome climb! A bit of everything, hand jam, fist jam (for little hands like mine), chimney, slight over hang... loved it!

First climb of the day, freezing cold rock and lots of wind. A painful climb, but glad I made it to the top despite slumping off more than once...

Ambitious last climb of the day with the sun about to set. Led half of the first pitch but got stuck at a reachy spot. Second pitch was really pumpy and I was climbing by head torch light by this time. Had to rest so many times! Would like to see this is the light sometime...

The rock was so cold first thing in the morning... my feet and fingers hurt!
