Jenesse, Nicole, Brock, Shane, Faz and I setup two abseil ropes over the Nursery Cliff. Most had either not abseiled or were out of practice for many years.

Nicey was first to descend and despite being out of practice had no issues jumping down. I was on abseil next to her and guided her down spotting her if necessary.

Shane was next and was also confident rapping down.

Brock seemed okay too.

Nicole reluctantly had a go at her first abseil. Unfortunately, it was at this time a bus load of Asian tourists and their cameras decided to watch and film this local Brisbane outdoor activity. It took a couple of hesitated moments where Nic hauled herself back to the start on sturdy ground. All to the enjoyment of the paparazzi. On her third attempt she finally got the courage to go over the top and slowly descend to the base (while swearing heaps).

We repeated more abseils and got some exercise walking back to the top of the cliffs!

Meanwhile, Shane decided to free solo up the easy looking Nursery cliff only to find he got "stuck" about half way up. Nicey moved one of the abseil ropes over to rescue Shane out of his predicament.

Everyone had a least two attempts abseiling, even Nicole (hesitantly) agreed to a second abseil.

Faz had now turned up and already setup top rope over Brisbane Bitter (24) – although he thought it was Gangbang Wall (23). I then setup next to the route on Anonymous (14).

Nicey went up Anonymous and despite a hard false start, proceeded to about three quarters up where a high foot placement was required.

Faz attempted Brisbane Bitter to reach the crux. It remains his nemesis.

I had similar issues and am now finding my mallet finger is not letting me down as it used to. Seems strength and flexibility need to be worked on.

Brock made his was to the top of Anonymous cleanly.

Nicole did well and climbed within metres of the top.

Finally we all relaxed by having a drink and eating BBQ sausages, salad and tarts.
