    I figured the same just I chose a steep and shit straight line.

    I respect your beliefs but don't impose them on me.

    you found your way out...they say Thomas Edison took 2000 odd attempts to get an electric light bulb to work...he is said to say "I didnt fail just found 1999 ways that didnt work"
    thats a pretty darn good way of looking at things.
    I am certainly planning to plan the trips better rather than what ever seems like a good idea on the day.

    It is certainly a good way of looking at it.

    Well the up part was easy. Had access over a farm and up a main ridge. The stupid move was "oh I'm at the top what's over this side"
    Couple of times I only had one limb on the ground and it wasn't always a leg. 600 meters in five hours was enough to teach you how to walk through supplejack cool spot where I dropped off though started off looking so promising stag sign everywhere.
    Would have stopped with the vertical and gone with the horizontal. But in hindsight I'd have bluffed out most probably. Speaking of which if your ever have access above the tunnel be very carful there's some nasty bluffs in there. One of which I feel off. Which was OK till the hind I was carrying hit me in the back, broke a rib...mine not hers. Oh one last thing not sure but if it's urban myth but I hear that some places up there your compass won't work so well due to the rock formations. Also northern faces have more of the supplejack than the rest. Enjoy

    Thanks for the advice about the bluffs.
