Hey there, we walked in on Thursday, sat out a hail storm at the creek then got into it. Planned on doing the direct route with my partner freeing the 2nd pitch above grassy on ozy original then traversing onto the direct route. Alas we were low on time and energy and convinced ourselves that finishing the original route was the was the best option.
We topped out in daylight, stoked and very sore/ knackered. Great adventure and can't wait to get back on the direct route next time.
My first aid climb other than Adam at the Youis and I learned heaps. We swung leads the whole route but I was glad Karl took pitches 1 & 3 plus the last stemming pitch to top out was pretty outrageous! Not as outrageous as the haul to the top though.
I'll post a proper TR when I get a chance, busy working and making up for the leave pass I was given to get away!
Cheers
