15 | ★★ Wild is the Wind - with Caitlyn, Jack Ferguson, Tinam | 80m | ★★ Very Good | ||||
With Caitlyn, Jack and Tinam with a brief feature from Robin and Kristie.
Pleasant climb, cool position and comfy belays! Led all the pitches as it was just the most straight forward way with our party. P1: Easy traverse, cams in breaks. P2: Quite the awkward move into the corner, rest is straight forward. Some gear down low and up high. P3: Cool exposed start, jug haul. Put in two pieces, just because I could! |
|||||||
15 | ★★ Wild is the Wind - with Jason Nguyen, Caitlyn | 80m | |||||
Really fun day out, Jason and Caitlyn lead up as a pair and tinam and I behind them on seperate ropes. Ended up catching friends at top of P1 and had to help them rescue some gear when they went up the wrong way for P2 . So ended up being a little bit of a mega trying to help recover there gear and save them an even bigger day. All gear recovered and everyone safe tho so big success!

| 45m, 13 | ★★ Very Good | ||||
Not what we had planned for today, but the NP tracks closure (due to 150mm of rain the other day) and the 4 stars of this route in the book got us here. Pretty tricky first pitch, and the belay at the top of it is awkward with the 2 old carrots of TGITM and one new ring 1.5m to the right of it. In my opinion the second pitch made it up for it as it is beautiful, long, and can be made easy with some technique. Great scenery too. Well worth it for the second pitch, but I can see how the first one can be loved or hated... I suspect some people move into The End of the Affair too early — you unavoidable get onto this route at the end by following the most obvious line of new ring bolts after P1, so I suggest not moving right too early if you don't have gear!

19 | ★★ Cat's in the Cradle - with Tom | 53m | ★★ Very Good | ||||
Awesome!
Looks a bit shit from the ground but there is a lot of value in the 2nd pitch.
The traverse on P1 is fun and cruisey.
P2 - I didnt read that the thin crux was near the top and I thought Id done the thin moves before I got there.
Full value slab at the grade.
The walk out is also a bit shit too. Felt very lost bush bashing our way out. Followed the cliff line as best as we could until we found a track. |
