Range East and back to Disco Buttress
Good day out yesterday with Chris and Choire in Range East. The sea was wild, so staying away from it's watery grip was a major concern. This was mainly successful, barring one minor wetting. After rethinking our original objective we settled for Galactic Co-ordinater, a lovely two pitch route on the Triple Overhang Buttress. That done we took an airy abseil into the left side of Blockhouse Buttress to get funky on the two pitch route Startruck, and what a voyage into the land of the up side down that was... Great fun with two cheeky chappies. Today it was time to get Choire and Chris's VIP tickets to the newly opened Disco Buttress. Chris got his wiggle on by jumping on Disco Tech. Choire took at flyer off Disco Leg, and after a short rest got back on and topped it out - nice one Choire! To finish off, we headed over to west side of Disco Buttress and threw a rope down on a meaty looking line through a large roof and slash crack above. After a quick top rope try, I led it to give a two star E2 5b named Panic at the Disco. Wish I'd saved it for the onsite! Great couple of days guys.
