Diary Farm Natural Rock Climbing
This isnt my first time climbing at Diary Farm but more like the 3rd or the 4th time already for me.
For those people who dont really know much about rock climbing, what im doing with my friends here are actually call multi-pitch climbing. Where we have develop a skills of handling with ropes and carabiners to climb up the Rock Wall with a certain amount of length of rope and continue to climb up the wall with that length of rope ! The point is the rope we got is not long enough so 3 or 2 people have to climb to the middle section of the Rock Wall and start up a couple of stuff there then continue to climb again !
After the long talking, we actually tried this thing the 2nd time round and we still didnt managed to complete it ! As the previous round it rained pretty heavy and we actually camped overnight there then in the morning we tried that route. This was before i went for the states trip. And for this time those people we climb today came very late and we have to leave the place before 6.30pm.
We actually climb the route really well this time better then the last. We could only manage to complete the 1st pitch only as we need to complete the another half of the pitch to consider as a full complete climb as this is a 2 pitch route to be qualify as a complete climb. But tragically, my safety anchor got stuck as i wanted to take out my carabiner to do other stuff and it took up really alot alot of time doing that silly thing and i manage to unstuck it and it is running late so we didnt when for the 2nd pitch again !
We will be back to complete this route as it is really really scary at the same time it is really time consuming. I think we will need to find a strategy to complete this route and also we might go there alittle earlier to try to complete this route as it might take a lot of time for us to multi-pitch as some of our rope and carabiner skills are still very immature yet.
NEED more trainings !!
Anyway here is a picture of me climbing at Diary Farm Quarry.
