Waterfalls in bad places

Just wandered up to the base of the Salathe and there's a waterfall running down the line! A fair bit of snow fell last night so Freerider might be wet for another week. Far out, 6 weeks in the Valley and it's still soaking wet - I must have done something pretty bad in a previous life. Will head up tomorrow and if by some miracle it's dried out I'll push on upwards, otherwise I'll get our gear down and head back to try and send the upper pitches on Leaning Tower. Pretty quiet in the Valley at the moment, most of the free-climbers have bailed. There's a bunch of parties on the nose. See ya'll back in NZ soon.

  1. You definitely did some thing bad in a previous life. Hope the weather is kind soon bro. Alternatively you could dominate some consumer classics in the wet, Johns-Newton style.

  2. You would think a frequenter of Fiordlands Darran mountains may afford themselves a climbing holiday out of the wet. Maybe Rangi thinks you like battling the elements. You still rock. Crank what ya can and return a champion!!
