Hey, thanks for all the valuable information!

We are heading off tonight for our grand adventure, and have 4 days up our sleeves. Hopefully the rain/thunderstorms will be easing off. At least there will be water available at the bottom, and sounds as though there is already from what I've read here.

We've got the big cams, small nuts, tarp, knee pads, gloves, small radio, pulleys, gri-gri, etc, etc as we've read as much as we could about the climb and from what I've read from this thread. We checked out the possibility of getting cam hooks but they don't seem to be available in Australia. We even have a collapsible belay seat as we've also heard about the long waits for the leader, and we certainly won't be fast - we'll see if the seat turns out to be a blessing or a burden. We've gone over our tactics and our hauling - we think we are pretty well prepared but also expect that there will be chaos sometimes.

Our aim is to have a great adventure and great fun!

So thanks again.
