sorry got distracted with work stuff!

Yep Arachnus very late Sunday Nite.
The cam is an oldie but a goodie and was stuck in the cave area, we or I chose not to go back for it as the group were a little all over the place at the end of the climb. and we needed to finish the last section and walk oy a light short of course.

Basically,
Three up climbing
Slow and steady taking care chatting enjoying the whole zone.
One of the team had circulation stuff happen for some reason in his hands and could not grip at all and it was one of hisa first days climbing above a top rope.

We were also getting a little lost in the route and hitting a few tricky bits due to getting off the "line".
Anyway, got to the last cave and discussion about rapping down started up which put further tension into the system.

Anyway we pushed on and got to the top without any incident at all, except my light and cam of course.

So theres the story, nothing amazing and maybe a few little lessons for us.
