Embracing the wind! (19 Aug 2018)
While we’ve been living in Blackheath it was been very windy a surprising number of weekends. Our general approach has been to try and find walks to do on Eastern facing slopes but none of the things on my to-do list met that criteria. So we bit the bullet and headed off to explore Blackmans Crown.
Rock Arch
The exploring of the outcrop was definitely made more exciting by the very strong gusts of wind. Having to pause half way through a somewhat delicate move while the next 50km/h blast passed made things a bit nervy.
Narrow sidling
Is that the way?
Almost at the summit
Tom’s lying down in this shot because it was too dangerous to stand up with the wind gusts!
Lovely views
Is he going to fit?
Or is he stuck?!
Quick trip to Utah 🙂
And now what?
Then we went looking for a cave in the snow
