A weekend rockclimbing

Wye Creek in the sun (grade 15, can't remember name) froze fingers on 'The Mission' in the shade

Had a great weekend away – climbed at Wye Creek on Saturday and at Kingston on Sunday. Plus went out for a posh dinner at the Wakatipu Grill, which was top rate. First time at the Kingston crag. Lovely spot with some unique ambience – hearing the Kingston Flyer tooting before it leaves the station. Bit sore and rusty and had to take it quite easy with my crook back so we didn’t do any multi-pitch routes as a hanging belay wasn’t the best for it. Has us itching to do more climbing now!
