Monday the 11th to the 13th of June Rob, Kieran, Arie, Jake and I went up to Paynes Ford for rock climbing. the first day we got 8 climbs in and it was a real good day starting at sea cliffs then after lunch we went to paynes. On the Tuesday we didn't get as many climbs in because we went kayaking down the grade 3 section below the power station on the Takaka river in the morning. Wednesday was cool I showed the guys the sweet overhang I found last time I was there. its a grade 19, 3 bolts and a chain, nice sequence of moves and rather pumpy if you don't do many overhangs. it was great because all the boys were at that level and struggled but made it up. And if that wasn't cool enough since i had been climbing real clean and good I went and had a good go at a 22 i was struggling with last time and got it. fell of once after climing the first bolt but came down and started again and got it clean. Before the 22 we also did a 25m 20 wicth was a real good climb plenty of 20 moves with small rests in between. Another wicked trip to paynes!!! couple fotos to end :)
