We came up for 1 day and aimed to do a few routes, starting with Traveller Buttress - but the weather was super iffy with black clouds surrounding us, and truly insane winds - hence why there are so few pictures. It made the last 2 pitches feel quite serious. The offwidth was bloody hard, I ended up climbing the finger crack on the left (so I have to go back to get the full experience!) We were the only ones on the route, and there were only a handful of other climbers at Lover's Leap that day... rare to find such solitude there!

On Sunday, we went sailing with Ryan and Kristina, on their sweet boat with which they spent the last 6 months sailing around Mexico!
