Having finished bolting our first big route "Make it Snappy", we wondered where we would turn next. Before the monkey spotting trip Si and I had made an attempt to climb Make it Snappy for the first time, we only managed mild concussion and a bruised behind respectively owing to the unexpected elasticity of our new rope and a few embarassingly spectacular falls. Our excuse; dirty holds.....Having now worked out the sequence of moves on the final roof of the second pitch, we're now trying to find the holds on the third pitch, we estimate the grade at F7b thus far (depending on how well we are climbing on any given day and the amount of Milo drunk beforehand.
Next up, well either the rainbow couloured honeycomb wall with the biggest jugs on the island or one of the numerous hanging slabs, the elephant skin pockets on the single pitch face or that massive roof looming over our camp....spoilt for choice.
We have been threatened with a visit from some super strong climbers from Singapore so I think we need to get Make it Snappy climbed very soon.
