RE: Saturday's endorphins: an uplifting experience on some slab

in #climbing7 years ago

There are extremely popular routes of course, but there are plenty of others to choose from. Night climbing is kind of necessary in Summer, because by the afternoon, with full sun, the rocks are too hot to touch.

Wow, of course the heat would be an issue. It's one extreme or the other. Freezing fingers or burning. So rare that it's perfect.

Oh that looks like good fun. I'm plotting routes already...

OK, here you go, a few routes for you to select from. There are some pretty "creative" route names. ;-) BTW, Oz has a different difficulty grading system to the rest of the world.

This map is interesting. The comments and names are by far the most entertaining. That is usually the case. And true, I don't understand their grading numbers. Looks good and hard!

Here you go, here is table comparing all of the grading systems around the world, so you'll be able to figure out what the KP grades are in the system you use.

Thank you, that's actually helpful. Particularly for the next trip somewhere.
