攀登 in Trackside Buttress

A beautifully sunny final climb to appreciate the gorge before retreating to beta park and home. I had so much fun hanging out with these guys

Practised some gear placements. Trad lead next time.

Carls first trad lead

Checking Irene's gear, some bomber hexes and nuts

Cleaning Irene's gear after her first trad lead!

Took about 5 attempts at the crux (with an audience) before working it out and slapping up.

Not bad

Average

Suns out, runs out. Slap danced to success Groundfall zero. 18 on thesarvo, but a bit soft if so

A little fiddly, but alot better protected than apron

Best of the 12’s on this face

First ever trad

my first outdoor experience!

Very ferny at the top and not fun - went left out of the overhanging shrubbery into the top of the 16.

Really liked this, would be a fun lead on mostly small nuts.

Two cool moves, very short but okay warm-up.

Repeated many, many times to check gear.
