Kay and I had originally planned to spend several days here, but the inclement weather and change of plans ended up with us having a grand total of 12hrs..
We’d recce’d our climbing area last night, so early in the morning we were all keen and eager to go. Following track 5 to the Little Lost Wall, we began with the wall all to ourselves.
I lead Doo-Little (16), Ecological Itch (14), The wrong trousers (14) and Damsel in distress (15) whilst Kay lead The Bell Ringer (10). I found the climbs very steep and the jug holds very sharp. The climbs were a little sparsely bolted and often the first clip was quite a ways up. Definitely not bolted in the spirit of the low grade of the climb..
After neatly schredding our fingers, we wandered around the base of cliffs checking out the other crazy routes for a while before returning to pack up and get ready for the bus ride back to Nelson.
