In reply to Ropeboy: I lead it on 10th September, which was the first day of a period of bad weather, Force 8 winds, etc. For the rest of our week we had to be very selective in which areas we could actally get to and then the helicopter off since it was too rough for the ferry. Judging by the weather after our ascent it may have been the last.
It seemed quite gritty in the crack, though no more than I expected from hearing of ascents by others 10 or 15 years ago. Glad to have done it since it had been on the to-do-list for a few years.
Hmmm, I also did Skeleton Ridge this year, wonder if any more of that has fallen down.
