Supposed to leave Friday night but it was stormy and rainy and no one wanted to pitch a tent in the rain. Katie picked me up at 8:30 and we arrived at the crag at 12:00 - it was only a 2 hour drive, but the kiwis are amazing at killing time, we stopped for food before we even left, then gas half way, and then some more food once we got closer. It turned out for the best though, as no one started climbing until we got there anyway. There was about 6 hours to climb that day and I did one top rope and a whole bunch of leads. It was a great day. Headed to the campsite and played some cards, got on the piss, and watched a candle burn and drip wax all over the bottle it was stuck in - which doesn't sound like much fun, but it's something that I personally am going to start doing more often, cause it was a blast. The next day was more leading on a different crag and then we headed home at 3ish, got back around 6:30 and typed another essay for the following day. A very rewarding weekend all in all.
