Nepalese charity night
Jun. 12th, 2015 10:22 pmDown to the Quay for a charity event to raise money to help with the aftermath of April's Nepalese earthquake.
The charity part involved a tallied climb to see if the combined efforts of Exeter's climbers could manage the equivalent of the height of Everest in a single day. In the end we made it easily, even if my personal contribution wasn't all that great — I arrived late and took it rather gently — with everything tallied up in time for a talk and Chef Paul's beast curry for the carnivores.
Climbing with M and one of her friends, I took it rather easy not even bothering to change out of my jeans. But for all my good intentions, I still managed to on-sight a 6b+ because it was there and new and I couldn't resist giving it a try...
