As this was a training trip for Brittany and my first rig in years, we only did the first 3 pitches leaving the Ollie + Alan to do the rest.

I forgot how fun rigging was so plan to do it quite a bit more (I definatly need the practice).

The first traverse was rigged very high to make it more fun and fun it was for me. Climbing high through a rift with a heavy bag of rope swinging underneath you and no string above made it quite interesting.
Its amazing for far it made that 15m drop below me seem.

I had one long rope so went straight down the 2nd tight rift while Ollie and dad got the second rope and set up the waterfall.

The rift didn't pose as many problems as I remember (maybe I have been unintentionally cutting down on cake).

After Brittany came down the rift we turned and went back up leaving the excitment of the lower pitches for another time.

Climbing up the rift was slightly more problematic due to having to face into the wall while prussicing one legged with the leg out to the side! Brit made it look comparitivly simple by being able to two leg prussic the whole way up. Definatly cheating.
