Ascents in Oceania as Tick, Solo, First free ascent, First ascent or Lead as sport by John Drake

A quick lap, just for fun. Carrie led the harder pitches (the first, and the first pitch of the headwall) and we simuled most of the others. Something like 2 hours on the wall. A very nice day out.

Swung leads with Stu. I dogged pitch 1 and climbed the rest clean. The first pitch lived up to its reputation- I think it's hard 23. Don't let this put you off though, it's easy for a grade 21-22 climber to pull on draws to get through all of the hard moves.

Still excellent, still soft.

Felt cruisy today.

Three laps, as it was the only dry route at the crag. The upper section was a bit wet still.

Warmup. I found this surprisingly fun

Excellent fun. I was happy to tick this relatively easily, as I remembered the beta that works for me.

Still one of my favourite climbs around. Great stuff. I hope that I'm not the one who eventually pulls that flake off the wall.

First pitch only. It got cold, windy, and dark, so we bailed before trying the second pitch. The first pitch was fun and surprisingly techo for a 13.

The best route at Mt. K.

In the pouring rain. Binary cave isn't rainproof if it's windy!
