The 1st ascent of the day was at The Sandpit area due to a big party's occupancy before us. The rain-proof Hootenanny, the corner crack under the large rotten roof, trad, 12m, G13 was our warm up.
For 2nd we had to skip Manana and Katoomba brothers area again. The next available route was Ole Biscuit Barrel, carrot bolts, 15m, G13 consists of vertical small holds, started left end of the Block area, finished at the 3rd anchor. I remember many people said this was more than G13.
Due to its popularity at the Block, the 3rd was trad Rumdoodle, 15m, G13, at the most left of The Sunbath to scramble up to its corner, and Schwing's 2nd pitch, carrot, 25m, G15. We took a few photos at the top.
We had fully warmed up and saw no one else at the Sunbath. Lucky! So our 4th was the 1st pitch of Schwing which had big solid holds with rooflet, 20m, sport, G18. I was amazed that Ben succeeded the rooflet without any rest on rope. Here I practiced double ropes which was good, though i still was wondering whether there was any advantage of using double ropes at this particular route.
