Booty call: Arachnus, watchtower, araps 10-Feb-2014 At 1:54:03 PM Roast_chook

Neither could we. Looking back I think we started Watchtower crack, but drifted left onto Minerva (Arachnus variant) and then topped out right again through a compact set of low cliffs and brush at the summit. At that point we realised we were all too f^%ked to walk, stood no chance of finding the rap chains and abb-ing off on gear was the best worst option..

I could start a poll about abseiling mishaps but I am trying to forget, claiming heat exhaustion and dehydration in defense.

For those booty hunters out there - There was a trail of small cairns/ducks/cones leading down to a small cairn at the very top on an exposed section with a clear view across to the lookout platform. This was 30m or so left (looking back at the face) of where we started descending from.

Suffice to say it wasn't the best executed plan but all four survived.
