I did a wee report on the trip at www.queenstownclimbing.com under Ice/G man and Estelle return which has alot more photo's.
A few of us Girls went for a great days climbing at Wye creek
Mel and Sam rockclimbing friends wanted to go so I also invited a few Experienced girls to help out, a few more friends were invited along and we had a crew of 8. Unfortunately Sam hurt her shoulder and couldn't make it last minute. A couple of the girls are Mum's so We made the most of our time and were out for 11 hours.
We were Blessed with Calm sunny weather
Jane and I set up topropes. Me on a nice easy one and Jane on a harder one. The girls all threw themselves at it. I was quite impressed by all the grit and determination on Display.
Celine bought Cake.(It may be 5 years since she ice climbed but she didn't forget the important stuff!)
Celine, Anna, had ice climbed before Too( Mel also But not enjoyably) and Birget, and Rike were rockclimbers, so had all the fitness and rope skills.
Thanks to Jane's amazing tips Mel started to get the swing of things this time.
