On Sunday morning three of us headed out for a climb, and seeing there were three of us we managed to take a few half decent shots that I thought you may like to see:
Chris got us started with a great warm up on the very fun Banana Split (14 – HS 4a),
with Kym in a fine position to catch the action:
As you can see you couldn’t ask for a better hand jamming crack, and I was as
happy as a pig in pooh:
Kym then upped the ante with a fine ascent of Digital Delecti (18 – HVS 5a),
although I reckon it was a tad harder with very fingery moves up a lovely steep wall:
The setting as this image shows was wonderful, a good swell giving great waves
and we even saw a large pod of dolphins cruising about:
My turn next so I jumped on Use No SLCD (19 – HVS 5b) a great line done in
keeping with the name with only wires being used:
Sorry Kym couldn’t resist this one which shows the crux move on the climb,
which was a tad sketchy:
Next up Chris led in very fine style the pumpy overhanging Silver (19 – HVS 5b)
a brilliant line which forces you to use the holds in all manner of ways:
Kym then decided to be silly and up things even more with Bearded Dolphin
(21 – E1 5c), with lots of delicate moves on steep terrain – our arms were getting
tired now:
So I felt it was time for me to knock it back a notch with a fun traditional line up
Thrice Bitten (17 – VS 5a), so I decided to carry the entire rack and more up with
me only to find it was a bit of a sand bag (thanks for suggesting it Kym) with
no rests to speak of the whole way up – but damn good and a great way to end
another wonderful morning climb at Willyabrup:
