등정들 Harold's Wall에서 Retreat로서

Went up to suss the third pitch. Didn't end up trying it today.k

Someone teach me how to hand jam.

So...I actually got lost on this route. Apparently I'm not the only person to ever do so which kind of makes me feel slightly better. I clipped the first 3 or four bolts on a rising traverse and went around the corner (out of sound and sight of belayer) and found myself on a grassy ledge in front of a featured wall. In my mind I imagined that the rising traverse continued so continued up the featured wall looking for the next bolt - up and up and up. Free solo not being my forte it was rather scary for me. I slung a pathetic looking bush continued further up into mossy terrain then very carefully down climbed. I now understand from the guidebook and feedback from Queenstown Climbing Club Facebook Group that I should have walked along the grassy ledge. I presume the next bolt is hidden in the greenery somewhere. There is no fixed hardware anywhere up where I climbed in error. I left a couple of nice slings and biners around a bush up there if anyone is keen for booty.
