Many emotions experienced just before the offwidth topout on Reed's Direct, pitch 3. Photo posted with permission by fearless leader Leo Qiu.

Nat topping out on pitch 2, all smiles after grunting through the offwidth finish.

The second rappel station if you're rapping down Reed's with a 70m rope.

The last chimney is fairly good, but this last section is the business.

Pitch 3.

This horizontal chimney will take you from the top of pitch 2 over to the Regular Route finish on Reed's Pinnacle.
