Comment: Kowmung @ Ceda Ford - 292.1 ML/Day

Did a mix of dry and wet lines (all wet lines were doable, but we had some beginners). Of note is the dry line on R12 (as its the only significant variation in pitch length from the wet line topo for the dry line) which is 35m, followed by 25m from a reasonable size ledge. I suspect doing it as a single pitch would be possible, but would be longer than the wet line because of the ledge.

It also worth noting wrt to the top that P2 -> P3 is a short walk and doesn't requiring staying on rope (could do with longer gap on the top), where as P1 -> P2 does require staying on rope.

Rigged the traverse on P14 (was borderline for our party, a party of with a higher bottom level of experience would be fine without. Does make accessing the very high up bolt a bit easier though.)

Long slow day, had to do the last section of the climb out in the dark which was doable because of high level of familiarity of the track but would not recommend.

Photo is P7 for use as a water level comparison.
