Escaped from homework one day
this weekend with James, Tom, Hannah (young woman from England who’s into rock
and ice climbing), and Signe (young woman who is I think from the Netherlands).
We went to this crag called Mihiwaka-all single pitch trad hidden in a cloud
forest about 20 minutes from Dunedin and only a 15 minutes walk from the car.
The views of the farmland and
ocean were fantastic at the top. Bring a puffy though, for it is a bit chilly
belaying in the shade at the bottom. Tom helped to stave off the cold by
brewing some tea for us. They failed to bring a strainer however, so he tried
to make the loose leaves settle by spinning the pot of water around a couple of
times. I don’t think he achieved his goal, but he did provide me with
entertainment and an excellent anecdote for my analysis of Kiwi Tea Times.

It wasn’t a physically strenuous day, but a good day to get my head back into trad. And it was an excuse to escape homework and enjoy the lovely weather.
