For life on earth on mt habrich we drove up logging trail for about an hour to where they are building a new cable car station. then about an hour on bikes then 1 hour steep uphill to base of route.

life on earth is sustained and somewhat runout. just had to keep going above gear and the odd bolt. amazing route 6 pitches then easy scramble to summit. the ride down was fun too.
we did the route as 2 groups of 2 on single 60m ropes then simulrapped the 6 rappels. pretty quick to get down.

Go do it doug its awesome
