It was a beautiful day in the mountains - warm and sunny and it was nice to be at a crag like Shipley Upper.

Above - Then Chuin Nee decided to have another go at the climb - to try and lead it cleanly (which she did)

I climbed "Jack High" (19), then Su Li and myself finished off on the Grey Slab again - with "Trinity" (13) and "Good Fortune" (17)

The next day (Sunday) we were joined by some more friends and we went off and did a short canyon at Blackheath.
