Comments: Great moderate climb; fun and unstressful. I think all of the loose rocks must have been pulled off already; I thought it was very clean (compared to Eldo at least).

Comments: Warning: 1st fixed rope down Cruise gully is currently buried (at the bottom) by a pile of rocks and dirt (maybe hundred pounds or more). It is stretched real tight, and you can't get your rappel device on the rope. We rappelled with a 60m, pulled our rope and used some slings to get down the last 15 feet of fixed rope.

2nd rope rappel was fine.

Comments: Answering Charles' question (about 4 years too late),

Yes, you can climb pitch 1/2 of Leisure Climb and then easy traverse over to Midsummer. Maybe 5.4 on the traverse, 20 feet. We belayed on Leisure and a 60m rope was sufficient to cover the traverse plus pitch 3 of Midsummer.
