Due to social distancing, I have not been able to go climbing with my normal climbing partners. So Gumby, who happened to be sitting at my desk, and I embarked on making a first ascent of a new climbing route at one of our local Sydney crags.
A very pleasant hike to the crag
Reaching the base of the climb and realising how steep it is
Just below the belay point at the top of the first pitch
Resting at the belay point before starting on the second pitch
Following the crack line on the 3rd pitch
Falling off the crux for the second time
Nailing the crux of the climb
The final pitch
Reaching the top
Celebrating the first ascent of "Social Distancing"
