>Are there going to be three of you climbing? That is a lot of water

It was going to be 2 people for 3 days, we figured plan for the worst case being climbing in 40deg and if after day one we only use 3L each we can always dump some to make hauling easier. If we get there and the forecast is mild (anything under 30) we won't be definitely hauling that much.

>The route is only seven pitches long. I reckon your chances of getting to the top will increase if you do it in two long days, and halve the weight of your bag.

That is a good idea, and almost certainly the smarter way about it, but being our first taste of Aid and my mates first wall bigger than 22m (Any big cliffs in the top end are national parks off limits) I don't want to rush it and get too fatigued, plus sleeping on the wall is half the attraction.

>Carry all the ropes and rack most of the way down the track the evening before. Only takes an hour and half, and will make the walk way easier on the first climbing day.

Yeah, we will. Would you recommend sleeping at the Brook or the Hut?
