My weekend was not so flash. I drove up by myself on Sat night in the pouring rain (hitting a Kangaroo which totalled my front leftlight....grrrr) then camped in the rain. Mat couldn't come up cause he was working (this weekend hopefully he gets off) so I just did some cleaning and bolting. Put a FH in Zero Gravity and worked out a slightly contrived route betwen it and Sea of Tranquility which I plan to call Orbital Action. I placed one bolt on it also. I then played around on Armstrong but found it a bit silly and contrived. Maybe it might go from left to right from One Small Step. I also did a bit of cleaning on One Small Step and found a nice varaint that keeps away from the big ugly chimney/offwidth. A slab is on its left for half of the route so it will be okay with a couple of bolts.BTW the Truebolts kicked arse, they felt really solid and I liked the fact that heaps of threads sticks out. Very reassuring. Its easier to hand drill a 10mm bolt to! I then cleaned a slab left of Lost in Space which will be fairly good. Maybe 15? with three or four bolts in 20m. Should be called Moonsacpe.I found another two cool little walls on the lower cliffs with another three possible new routes. One wall is a direct copy of a piece of classic Arapiles smooth orange rock. Pity its only 8m high :-(
