20/07/07 ice climbing
Last weekend Aaron and Sally went ice climbing with our friend Rupert at Wye creek, Remarkables. It is about 2 hours walk in so we left nice and early.The 1st photo is looking back down over the ski field at sunrise from the ridge.
We climbed a climb called Fear of flying first. Rupert lead and at the beginning the icewas very bumpy and hard to get Ice screws into so I think He probably did experience some fear of flying! ( photo2) I am Belaying him in my brand new down jacket that Aaron bought me a week before. that climb was 2 rope lengths/pitches long and we had a lot of fun.
Next aaron tried a mixed climb( mixed rock and Ice) called Hot water(picture 3). He did it first try (onsight). It was really hard though and ever since he has been trying to get back rubs, since he strained so hard.
