Climbers - Martin, Steffy, Jesko, Anja and Dave N

I was climbing with Anja - and we first climbed "Baby Carrots" (13). To get to this climb we had to do two abseils.

More details of these climbs can be found at Roger Bourne's Mt Boyce website, and photos of "Wild in the Wind" can be seen here (pitch 2) and here (pitch 3).

On Sunday we met up with some other friends and did a nice canyon in the Gardens of Stone National Park.
