Nowra (again) climbing

The climbing has commenced :) Went to Nowra, did some quality sandstone pulling. No pictures to really show for it, just some snaps that didn't turn out. Definitely brought back some memories though, as Nowra was also the location of my last climbing trip during the previous Australia stay.

For the climbing audience: did about 5 routes, an easy warmup, then 2 leads, 2 TRs. Leads at roughly 10a, and 10c, very fun routes all bolted nicely, TRs at 11c, which didn't work out well at all, route was covered in loose sand; and 10d/11a slight overhang, which I think we all ran out of strength for. Matt did a hero move by stick-clipping the 2nd bolt while hanging from the first one. It was a sight to behold, I wish I had pictures of this, but I was belaying :)
