I had a nice day climbing yesterday with John at Mt Coolum. Because I have plans to get straight back into my Schadenfreude project at the Pulpit, I need to work on my finger strength and power. It seemed like Frey Yule's Full Metal Traverse (27) would be the route to try. It is very short (only about 8m), and quite brutal and bouldery along it's whole length.
I had tried the route before going to Europe. On the third shot I fumbled the rope clipping the anchors and fell - so close! This time I needed four shots to put it in the bag. It was really working my weaknesses, which is what you need to keep improving. Fun stuff!
