Thu 7 Apr
Dad and I warmed up on a cool slab climb and then I tried Onion again and, after a few goes at the start, I fell off on the crux move. I found an easier sequence and then came down and rested for a bit. When I next did the start I managed to keep going and send.
After that we went to an area called Sunnyside and I onsighted some climbs:
Sisters of Mercy (22)
Head on (24)
Creepy Crawler (23)
Dad did Sisters of Mercy second go and did all the moves on Creepy Crawler.
Fri 8 Apr
It was much more sunny than the previous days and we went to Sunnyside again. We warmed up on Mum's on the Run (20) and Dad tried Creepy Crawler but it was too hot and sunny for him to send. Because of the poor conditions we decided to go climb somewhere less sunny. We went to Riverside and I tried Inshallah (25) and sent the climb second go. I then tried Lollapalooza (26) and, after a long struggle, I made it to the top clean and onsighted it. This is the hardest onsight I have done and I was very pleased.
In the evening we packed and the next day we caught a couple of flights back to Wellington.
