1am surf landing at Deal Island's Winter Cove after 19+ hrs paddling alone from Flinders Island, 85km behind me.

Rogaining partner dislodging a half-metre sandstone block somewhere above the Shoalhaven, and having it whiz over my shoulder, just past my ear.

Climbing a slabby face of Single Cone and realising, probably just 10's of metres from the summit, that there was no place for pro. Not that we had placed any yet, but I did have a 'small rack' whatever that means when the mt'eering guidebooks say 'take a small rack' - had about 5 small to medium nuts and 3 small to medium cams.
3cm of wet snow underfoot and crampons were a little skittery. Lisa and I retreated then and there - and had a better day the next day, even if we had to do the popular 35m rap on a 60m rope...
