Easter Epic - can you beat this? 27-Mar-2008 At 5:29:50 PM wombly

Not nearly as epic as bluey, but...

Went to kaputar for the first time. Climbed at Mt Lindsay, Kaputar Pinnacle and the Governor. Backed off numerous climbs due to lack of pro and/or choss. Avoided the entirety of West Kaputar because nothing looked a) reasonable for the grade, and b) more solid than Shai Halud. Somehow managed to avoid falling due to rock breakage. Avoided being fallen on due to rock breakage. Avoided any of the missles being thrown down by the masses above. Avoided being struck by lightning in one of the many thunderstorms. Avoided falling off the Yulludunida ridge traverse (1800m grade 3, quite exposed in parts).

Didn't manage to avoid a grade 2-3 sprain of my right ankle on the walk down from the traverse, and had to hobble the 3 km back to the car with a stick for a crutch, but did manage to avoid most of the drive home - for some reason nobody wanted me to flinch when using the brake!
