Thanks guys, some useful comments there, cheers.
On this topic of Mt Boyce & easy climbs - have somehow ended up again at Boyce, and had a ball in the Walkdown Gully Area. Some of the older multipitch climbs in the area seem to have reverted to original state, but I quite like chossy vegetated routes on dubious rock, and had fun on Peppermint Patty. There are a few more very easy routes in this area that have good "adventure" potential, much like they always have, I suspect. Gently Mine was very different, a cracker of a climb, very well protected and good rock - excellent. Freewheeling was a bit more exciting - the bits that looked hard were actually quite easy, and the slabby section at the top was the crux for me - quite a bit of trepidation going on. We also top-roped Pig Iron Slaughter, great climb, but not sure I'll lead this type of thing again.
Such a great crag, and lots more still to be done in this area - we'll come back for Air2Spare, Baby Carrots, Wild as the Wind, and to stretch things a little bit, P1 of Gold Star and Gates of Janus |
