Caught Noosa heads looking like a postcard.

Back to the coast after a weekend of climbing, one does not expect even more icing on the cake.....Kirra, doing its cylinder machine thing in the afternoon glare.

obviously I'm stoked on this!

Top of the pinnacle and almost there....

objective completed!

.... about pitch 3, halfway up the east face! Radical exposure was imminent at this stage, but the rock was sculpted to perfection, and marveous to climb! Despite the east faces notoriety for long runouts and huge fall potential, we found excellent/obvious gear placements and ample protection when needed. Even comfortable belay ledges!! It dosen't get any better than this!

A new objective.

Its a classic Australian rock route called 'Ruby of India'...apparently its quite scary. None-the-less, a worthy, maybe testing objective.
