Charleston Climbing

More weekends, and no blogging. A few weekends ago, Dave, Matt and myself headed over to the west coast to Charleston, a magnificent set of sea cliffs in a wonderful setting. Unfortunately, Dave and myself had a rather large night on the juice the previous night, so were in no shape when Matt dropped by at 6am the next morning to head over there. After several queezy moments, bananas and a couple of pies, we made it and were greeted with 5m swells. It was an incredible situation, and made for some seriously exposed climbs although many of the routes were unclimbable with the spray reaching most of the height of the cliffs. Florian, Neil and Mark were over with the Uni teaching a few punters the ropes, so it was a really great crowd to hang out with. I was in no fit state to climb, but managed to pick off a nice route during the weekend in between getting stomped by some rogue waves. Didn’t manage to get near the rocks to take the rod out, and got a nice reminder of a lost bet from Jayne that evening.
