Mild Peril, Rutger Hauer and Debris in a day 15-May-2012 At 7:28:18 PM PThomson

Ben and I spent the whole day looking over at Perrys -in the sun- and thinking: "wow, all those routes over there look like the greatest climbs of all time!". That opinion would be subject to change in summer.

I've certainly done chossier climbs at Pierces (Big Trad Thong, I'm looking at YOU!). But my comparison was between the steller "Mild Peril" and the still very good but not quite as steller in my opinon "Rutger Hauer". =P I'd readily repeat both, regardless... Um... Maybe in spring.

My wording was a bit confusing... What I was saying is that there are maybe 5 moves at about grade 22 on the climb, with jug hauling and rest stances between. The final "cruxy" section was about 5m of hard moves without any of the aforementioned jug-hauling.
