Overheard at KP in Brisbane…
First time climber a meter into ‘Cornflake Crack’, “So where do I go from here?!”.
An onlooker pipes up, “UP!”
I had a bit of chuckle....

"maybe we should have brought a head torch"
eg after pulling the ropes with a couple of hours of day light left and needing to get 4 people down two more 50m abseils and climb 6 pitches out, followed by an hr+ walk out.

I had my headtorch. Jette had hers. We brought an extra club one. I think the quote may have been "Maybe you should have brought a headtorch"?

no, i'm talking about this weekend, with Nik, Iain and Liam. 0 from 4. i actually thought about mine but it got lost in everyone elses stuff in the morning and i figured the others would have one. also didn't expect losing 2 hrs or so retrieving a stuck rope, which involved climbing up some random chossy overgrown corner crack. but it was a full moon (except for the overcast sky..) and we did manage to top out at 7pm in the end, not bad.. ended up doing 160m of climbing in 3 pitches of a 50m rope :)

Overheard this one today at Burbage South after one of our group made a meal of one rather gruesome mantel-shelf finish - "he's showing all the grace and athleticism of an epileptic hippo!"

My apologies then. Man, you should have your headtorch permanently attached to you. You are the epic master.
