Cheesecake and wetas, a vegans worst nightmare By Marie Kelly In the beginning there were five… On the first day we set our eyes on Globe Wall. The cool shady rock was a nice reminder that autumn had begun. The cool crisp air was excellent conditions for sending. Our trusty ‘Feisty Red’ and ‘Super Blonde’ gals were always ready for us. The thought of post send cheesecake was a powerful motivator amongst the group. Eric eyed up a stiff 23 warm up on ‘Master of Puppets’ but he was too eager for the send and didn’t give the climb the respect it deserved and the ‘Master of Puppets’ became Eric’s nemesis. It wasn’t long until Eric had won it over and could finally look upon his real project ‘Feeling Lucky Punk’, a strong and intimidating 25. Margot stared down the Electricorp wall while Marie was otherwise engaged with solving a weta crisis back at home. Margot jumped right on ‘Electricorp Production’ and conquered the classic 22. She swiftly moved on to its neighbour ‘Send a gorilla’ (23) and ticked off another cheesecake. Meanwhile, Alex clawed his way up ‘Dirty Harry’s after a brief hiatus from rock climbing. He didn’t quite know what he was getting himself into when he joined this Alpine Club Meet. Paul was one of the unsung heroes of the day providing patient belying and moral support knowing that his time to shine would soon arrive.
