Mr Meat
Climbing in the Gallery is amazing, the rock looks cool, bright orange with all these white chalk marks everywhere and the view is amazing.
From the gallery you look out over this valley that is covered with dense bush like a jungle and all these grey rocks. Saw some more eagles flying past us the other day as well, they were really big ones. Things are big in Australia, even the post boxes, people out here seem to have post boxes the size of oil drums, well actually they've taken old oil drums painted them, stuck them on a pole and cut some holes in them. I'd love to know what they're expecting to get in the post. Maybe its just a trick to stop the possums stealing it.
I started working a 7b the other day, and had so much fun on this route called Mr Meat, its awesome, its starts off overhanging by 45 degrees with really bouldery moves that I really have to go all out to get and then gets slightly less overhanging by which time I am ridiculously pumped and then you have to do this very exposed airy traverse round this corner on small crimps and just fighting that constant burning feeling while on a good 4m runout to the next bolt climbing above a ledge that hangs over the trees and then one more bolt to the top.
Its so much fun and yesterday I NAILED IT!!!!! Feels so cool today, I can't wait to try some more :D
I've put some photos up in the gallery so go have a look.
