Best and Worst of 2011 22-Dec-2011 At 3:30:05 PM ClimbingNT

Message

Best:
- Being able to get out almost every weekend for some great climbing during our dry season.
- Ticking a large proportion of climbs in our guide book.
- Celebrating 1 year of ClimbingNT with some midnight climbing and bouldering with an amazing group of mates.
- Taking a trip over to QLD to catch up with some mates and climb Mt Nimbin, Glasshouse and Mt Coolum
- Heading back home to have a crack at Mt Stuart (again in QLD)

Worst:
- Taking a BIG whipper as a result of 'showing off' a little after the crux on a climb. (Small pinch broke as I was clipping. End result was almost decking out head first.)
- Taking too long to get my head back in the game after said whipper and trying to not convincing myself that ever hold I was on was going to break whilst clipping…stupid mind games
- Climbing in 40+ degree heat too many times that I can remember
- Not resting injured fingers enough resulting in even more injuries
- Pancaking myself on the slackline moments after trying to convince a bunch of people to give it a go ‘because slacklining is easier than it looks’
