Looking at the rap station at the base of the tower - 70m reaches with a few feet to spare (pic was taken when my partner was pulling up some rope, during the rappel the knots were at the ledge below the bolts)

Beneath Triton Tower

The traverse at the top is so much fun!

Top of Meteor. In the red I believe is Josh Higgins and his climbing partner Tenten(?).

Looking up Pitches 3 & 4 on Meteor. Using 60m rope, just link them!

Finishing up the tower.

Start from the ledge.

Party of three atop Meteor.

P2 traverse, after back-cleaning a BD #2

Emma leading and linking the last two pitches of Meteor with Dave, up the long exposed arete. Taken from atop P2 of Leonids.

So fun!

The cool last section of P4 at the top of the knife edge.

Rapping off the tower!

This is the start of the 3rd pitch. Traverse right up the ledges. Clip the rap station if you like and then head up the right side of the arete.

Even though some P3 and P4 bolts are placed on the face well inside of the outer arete, can still step over onto the edge to feel the extra exposure.

Almost to the top of 3.

Lee coming up our linked P1 + P2, on a busy morning.

Adam starting the 1st pitch.

BD Red #1 suffices to protect the traverse across the juggy blocks. Bigger heavier cams possible too.

Rappelling over the roof. Good day

Across the summit knife edge traverse to Lee at the anchor belay.

Rap pitch 3

Robert and I. Im at p1 anchor and hes on his way up to anchor 2.
