Hey All ! So Dave_S, TimP and I had a go at Ozy direct over the Aid weekend and kept the north wall spirit alive throughout the weekend. We ended up bailing about half way up, just before the big roof, which was my call and also the second time for a bail off the big line ! it was a good effort though and we spent a good night on big grassy and woke to the most amazing sunrise on Sunday so while we didn't make it to the top it was definitely a worthwhile adventure !

I do just have to say a MASSIVE thanks to M9 who spotted us bailing and hiked in to help our dejected and a little broken selves hike out with a shit load of gear. Spotting M9 as we were crossing Crystal Brook was such a weird double take moment it was great. Anyway he spurred us on to burn the reserve tank and get up and out of the valley before dark. Nice One M9 - I owe you one !

This being the second time I have bailed from Ozy I dont know if i have another attempt in me at the moment but its one of those things that as soon as i was rested and fed and watered again thinking a little straighter i started contemplating how it could be approached and what could be done differently to actually get to the top !
