Slap Dancer (27) on Albert's Tomb, Mt. Wellington. Did this rad route a few months back - it's a good one! Thanks to Jed (Parkes) for the shots.
STAR FACTORY
Last weekend Alex and myself cruised up the coast in his brand-spanking new Subaru Outback which was pretty sick. Saturday saw us up at the Factory with Simon. I put the draws on Decafe (27) and managed to get it next shot which was rad. Alex and Simon both had burns on Street Fighter (28).
On Sunday we walked back up late, because it was absolutely baking, 25 degrees plus! There were quite a few people up there, which was a change. Power of the Percolator (28) was the goal for the day. Having a burn I fell at the crux. I went to the top putting draws and got it figured. Letting the rock cool down I had another shot but bungled it again. The second attempt:
Alex had another go on Street Fighter and got really high, to the second crux a few moves from the top. Here he is down low:
Heading home I knew I would be back to finish business with Percolator soon. Yesterday I went up for the day with Merry, Ed and Ben. Putting the draws on I refreshed my memory and soon was scoffing Red Bull for a redpoint. Just staying on at the crux I made it to the rest, then got some back and pulled the final boulder with a big smile on my face, glad to have sent another G. Phillips classic!
A rad sunset on the way home:
