Mt York on Saturday 26th September.

It was fun. a team was retreating from a crag when we met at the middle of Wentworth's Gully around 9.30. the wall was too cold, but 7 of us kept going down to our targeted crags, westside of Mt York and started climbing. Our crag was Deep Freeze Area and the other was Dragons Tooth Area. Soon it started sprinkling, then changed to snow quickly. The snowying wasn't much but carried on with strong wind. by lunch time 4 mates from Dragon team went to the other side of mtn where no wind came. 3 of us decided to keep climbing at Freesed area.


At the middle of a wall, however, i was pushed to a side by gale. Luckly the routes were short enough that we could communicate. But it was too cold to belay from the top.
On seeing developing darker cloud we stopped climbing. As soon as we drove off, there was sleet storm. 3 of us climbed 5 routes. Well done Mates!

i'm adding this route into my homework. I'm not sure its name, probably called Serious Leather or new route which is the first pic that Mike is climbing. 2m right, 3rd route from arete which is the 2nd pic.
