Thanks to everyone who supported us. It was great to see people returning we haven't seen in 12 months. Agfest is always fun but exhausting, and we got to meet loads of new and interesting folks as well as sell a bunch of tees and some new little kiddies gear - phew - glad its over. The best bit was that this year the whoe family was involved.
Whats left will be up on the website soon, as well as the new designs (Louis finally lives - watch this space.

An Epic Summers Day – Geryon Traverse
|

 It was nine months ago that Dave and I stood on the cliff edge on the peak of Geryon North and looked down into the grey abyss – the 50m abseil into thin air that would mark the real beginning of what has to be one of Australia's best mountain skyline traverse's.'
Read about last years adventure…
And now we were back, looking down into the abyss once more. This time Tristen had joined us for the climb. He had been unable to last year for 'work related reasons'. Daves 2 sisters, Fiona and Alison, had also joined us for the 4 day adventure, and at this moment were glad they had chosen not to attempt the traverse with us.
 (The image above is looking at the routes from the North peak. The Foresight on the left (2 pitches of 35 and 30m) and the South peak on the right (a 40m and a 10m pitch). The image at the top is the panorama from the South Peak.)
See more photos on the Catapult Earth Facebook Page.
The sun was bright but the strong gust of wind had us on edge. Rage Against the Machine from Tristens Ipod psyched us up for a few minutes, till Dave almost threw it off the cliff. We stood there looking at our supposed route, trying to find the line. Over the Foresight and then up the peak of Geryon South. As the crow flies the south peak was no more than 100m away, but there was little doubt it would take us all day to get there. The hardest pitch up the south peak, grade 17/19, was thrown at me. Looking at it from here, the route was hard to pick and we read the notes over and over trying to get it. Though the grade was not hard it is certainly no sport climb up the local crag, It looked messy and unpredictable, with loose rock and dodgy belay ledges. I was feeling a bit out of my depth. There are so many other factors involved here and I kindly declined and would leave the lead to Dave.
