Paul and Sally at campsite on Charismatic wall. Tutoko in background

Paul Climbing our new route

This month has been really busy!
I went to Australia for a weekend and went to Dan's Birthday/house warming party
We Have had lots of visitors with Mike an Yvionne over from sydney, Mark and Ailsa from Melbourne, Paul coming back and forth on Darrens missions as well as Greg and Ziggy. My dad, Mike, Jim, Janet and Richard Down from Auckland on a tramping trip

We did Manage to get out of the House briefly between groups. To do a bit of mountain bike riding and also A trip to Milford where Aaron, Paul and I started a new route on the Charismatic wall( peak 1655) It was a huge outing we flew to the top and camped out there for two nights the first day bolting the 5 pitches and climbing out them and the second day bolting on down and some fixed line rapping and a bush crash for an hour or so. It was a week ago and I am only just feeling full strength again
