It had been raining a fair bit recently - and when we got to the crag -
we found that there must have been a lot of local rain. There was a lot
of water around and a lot of the rock on the climbs was damp and
crumbly. Rather than head off - we thought it may be OK for some
top-roping to check out conditions. For most of the party - it was our
first time at Point Perpendicular. A lot of the climbs are very exposed
and quite intimidating.
