i had only one day in pierce's pass and bbb was basically all that was going to happen. met a random climber in blackheath so drove out about 7am. neither of us had been there before. didn't know about the mirrorball rappel. walked down the tourist track, then bush-bashed for an hour. found the start. here's where things got difficult. my partner had forgot his climbing shoes and bolt-plates in the car. no way i was not climbing after finding the start. i had a set of wires, prusik cords and 10 draws so i led 75% of the climb. not too bad first couple pitches, then some vege and a cave'ish thing. got to the 'headwall' as the rain started. i remember some bolts up there which sped things up considerably. tieing off to carrot bolts with cord gets monotonous. finished up about sunset. this was in september, so i guess 5pm?? would be happy to do it again with the rap in start. the headwall was pretty good climbing for about 100 meters.
