Arrived at Araps on Wed night in pouring rain and howling winds, but the next day dawned fine.
Did Hurricane Lamp Cracks in perfect winter weather and followed it up with Salamander which, although running with water in spots, was loads of fun. It pissed down on us as we were rapping down off the Watchtower though.
Friday, we woke up and couldn’t see the mount for the cloud. It then rained for about 2 hours so we went to Horsham for coffee. Decided to climb Arachnus that arvo, thinking that if it rained then at least we’d have big holds to cling on to. It chucked it down half way up, so much so that I couldn’t really feel my hands at some points. Not that it mattered as all the holds were soaking anyway!
Got to congratulate the NBF for adding the chain at the Watchtower rap-off. It made me feel a lot safer up there, especially in the rain.
