19 Hard | ★★★ Actions Speak Louder - with Ben Mitchell | 500m | |||||
12 hours climbing time (10 x 30-60m pitches). Ben and I had a great time on this route despite the occasional mossy/chossy/run-out pitch. Taking the time to make solid anchors and gardening to look for gear rather than running it out meant the climb became a long day and we did the final pitch and 30 metre rappel in the dark. A Kea attacking our ropes while Ben was on lead added some excitement to the climb.

Not sure if we were off route or what but the description on ClimbNZ did not have a healthy relationship with reality.
Spent the whole day in complete whiteout so didn't get to enjoy the views. We bailed on our original plan to reverse the Talbot McPherson when it started snowing at the top and rapped down the Couloir route, which was a bit exciting because we didn't know anything about it, and could barely see a hand in front of our faces |
