Had a similar experience on it the first time I climbed it. Blood, sweat, cursing. I swore it was about 22 at the time. Then you go off to other areas in the Youies and learn how to stand on "imaginary" footholds and suddenly its gets easier! I thought 18 was pretty accurate. The crack is pretty secure and the exit is straightforward. Not having climbed there for a while, I bet I'd be bleeding, sweating and cursing all over again if I climbed it now. "I'm sure there were more footholds last time..." |
