G'Day Rod

Nice TR that brings back a few memories, not of N.O. but trying to pick entry points for people new or way off the game.

Had a ripper 1 pitcher day with Mrs Rod and a 2nd timer who kicked arse on steep stuff a week prior so several weeks later we took the logical next step into an 11 pitch route...simple seconding of a few slab pitches ='d WAY too hard a day out but the killer was about 3 hanging belays in a row which though accompanying easy routes enabled plenty of freak out moments for those afraid of heights. Had not done this route prior and though the relatively easy climbing was OK the height thing, which had never even occured to me as an issue, caused some probs.

She was a trooper though...kept it all to herself and only piped up once we were back at the car. Hats off to the deb's.
