All Hail the Newbee

Wednesday Climb Night - Was Game-Gees Night.

He came on down from the 4th Floor,
With the 2nd hand shoes that he scored.
A breif stop on the way to replace his briefs,
Some would wonder if he were gay, what would the others say.
But a man he showed himself to be,
When challenged by Silver,
the Airman, he proved for all to see.

Well we got to the LS Auckland Grammer.
After a bit of social I commited to a lead on SilverAirman, we all agreed that that would be a good one to get the Newbee on. Silver airman has a direct start up a pillar (17) or a stepin from the right indirect start (16). It is a fun lead with the first placement about 4m up. has a fine center crack in a chimney, that takes WC 1s and 2s and RPs, a nice bridging climb with a small slab at the top, finishing to a chain and steel ring for belay/TopRope.

For the FBC it's like an old freind, a nice warm up lead. For Game-Gees it was going to be a challange, and as the fourth time climbing and now with real rock boots on, he was tail in the air and egger as a starving rat for a peice of cheese.

He amazeds us, not only did he do the direct start (17), but he got to the top, Staggering, we have a NBC. No Bullshit, Just Straight UP.

The rest of the night was Fun Ho, some old Re Runs turned up, G-Man and Power Boy Dynamic duo from Days past.

Game-Gees belayed the FBC up a lead of Soliloqy (18), with Mr Careful ever watch full, so the training is progressing well, (even though we all know the FBC is a rat up a drain on that climb it was a good time to start Game-gees)

FBC had a go at Barracuda (24) and peal agin - but further up, and then had a go on Revenge of the Lawn (21) and managed to get over the crux before GIVNUP........

Oh well back to a TR of Soliloqy - and do a show off to the Dynamic Duo, and the pretty young ward.

Game Gees had earler had a go at ROTL(21) and got over the Crux, definetly a NBC.

The Sun went down ............. and we left ....Happy.
