It was so hot day in Sydney that one of my friends mentioned that he measured 41℃ in Penrrith around 3pm. The forecasted wind was about 25kms/h in Blackheath. I was looking for some shady easy routes without gust effect for the beginner climber. My thought was in Dam Cliffs with a swimming option.
As reaching Blue Mts it became cloudy a bit, and was cool at Medlow Bath. To save our time we popped into The Block.
The 1st climb was Ole Biscuit Barrel 15m (grade 13) in The Block. i know the grade here is hard for the number. She had some good experiences resting on rope. This south facing wall was well shaded even after 3.30pm. A gust brought our rope bag up in the sky while she was climbing. So it was the COOLEST climb.
Her 2nd climb was Manana 22m (13), west facing. So it was in the sun, however, was overcasted by that time. it was comfortable climb too.
