Wintour's Leap, Day trip

The weekend as going to be good, so Nick, Trevor, and I headed down to Wintour's Leap

Trevor had his eye on King Kong...sp straight down there
The start was a real reach over the first block, and that was just the start.

As we were moving back to our second route, we saw Alan and Bryon above doing the girdle traverse. We stopped for a long range chat, when someone abive dislodged a large rock ..  the boys tried to hide under their helmets and it passed them by, landing right in the middle of the three of us on the bottom ... just where we were standing, We had scattered each taking a different direction, and only Nick suffered any mishap and then only from the nettles and thorns he ran into.  A timely reminder of why we wear helmets.

Following this minor excitement, we then moved on to a climb called Angel's Eye up the end of the GO wall.

I cant remember if that was it or if we did any more climbs.
