Rad day out! We started our walk in at 6:30 just before dawn, which was lucky because both of our ropes got jammed abseiling down Mirrorball Pinnacle (despite efforts to avoid this, will just use the other rap next time!) Started climbing at 9ish and moved fairly efficiently, rock was cold but weather was nice so it just meant more grip. Had an absolute blast and topped out around 2:30, back at by 3:30ish. Such an adventurous and varied route, thanks Aido, Eoin and James for a 10/10 day!

Fun climb with an interesting overhang to crack bit and some decent slab. The finish is cool but not that satisfying.
Aidan sent this climb but we were concerned with the way the rope was hanging over a sharp ledge directly below the anchors. He set up 2 long draws for his descent. I flashed the climb and cleaned off the bolt below. I could reach up over the anchors but getting a safety on them was tricky so we decided to save the rope. |
