Saturday Morning Special was the first climb of the season, 3 friends climbing, One pitch to lead each. A really positive and fun start to the season.
Equinox so named as it was the shortest day! My zone from the week before abandoned me and I just followed the boys on top rope. Quite scary and with changing between using your hands and the ice axe all the time it was a bit of a logistical nightmare..But I learnt alot and will be better organised next time I wear a pack and full rack and tools!
Saturday Morning Special M3 or 4, 170m Tony Burnell, Aaron Ford and Sally Ford 06/09
Gully at left end of Telecom tower( 100m left of MC gully)
Snow gully with Mixed steps. 3 pitches
Easy access and descent to shadow basin chairlift, makes this a great introduction to remarks mixed climbing.
Aaron heading off on Pitch 1
Tony just above the first step pitch 2
Glad to be on top Aaron celebrating as he see's it's the last belay
Our happy team
Equinox M5+, 165m , Tony Burnell, Aaron ford, Sally Ford. 06/09
