Guinness Stout - Pitch 2

This is the second pitch of "Guinness Stout" (grade 4+). It's located about a 45 minute hike straight above "Guinness Gully". They are both part of the famous beer climbs in Field. (photo: M. Hladik, climber: A. Jones).

How are those tools working out? I got to try them at the base of a climb and was impressed with the ease of placing the picks.

Re: BD Cobra

To be honest, I was ready to sell after the first time I used them, but have now gotten used to them and like them. They are easy to place, but sometimes hard to remove. I had to learn to swing not as hard as my other tools; once I got that figured out, I liked them. Cheers!

I like this shot.

Really good picture. Nice to see the climbers face rather than just....well you know. Looks like you had some steep stuff ahead of you.

Yep

It was a steep long pitch of grade 4 - I was climbing with Mirek that day around Field
