Easter

Bush fires meant that we went to Chinaman's bluff in the Dart valley as the local area was out of bounds.
It was a bit damp but we got a climb we have been working on for years equipped and ready to go on our next visit. It will be called Icarus if we get it and is 6 pitches long.

We also went to a Barbeque to celebrate Ian and Marianne's wedding. It was great to meet their families.
We went back up South Wye and Finally climbed the Big corner which turned out to be about 17, Centrefold is now 5 1/2 pitches long

So much to get finished before winter sets in and the rock gets wet.
we will probably be doing lots of work on these new climbs for the next month while we can.
Winter will be good though A wee trip to OZ in may then July ,August Ice climbing . We also have season passes for the Ski fields..I am looking forward to that!

Hi guys,

Another great weekend on the rocks.You are hard to get hold of, I've almost given up ringing.

Sounds like you have a busy winter,obviously you have finished the house, I bet it looks great, using the best skills of Aaron.

I will try you next week, again.
