Time: 10am - 2:10pm Location: Wanaka People: Mathew Schweizer Weather: Sunny/hot Climbs: Hospital Flat Little Big Wall -Tune In, Tune On, Drop Out, Grade 16 Multi-pitch Motatapu Valley Roadside Attraction Personal Time Comments: First Multi-pitch. Followed on top rope because I decided I did not want to lead until I had more experience. Took about an hour and a half. Abseil was pretty big. About 50m. Scary but exciting. Ascended with Prusik. Went to Roadside afterwards and lead an 18.

Comments: 2:30am Start. Headed to Wanaka from Greymouth. Got to the crag and starting climbing at 9:30am. Lead my first grade 18 on Bang My Drum with no falls. Climbed my first overhang on lead on Stealing Candy From A Baby with no falls.but took a while to figure out after the overhang. Got to do a few change overs to abseil with prusik. Mathew fell on a grade 20 while I was on belay and I was pulled into the wall but I was able to hold on to the rope and prevent him from falling. Very long but awesome day! |
