Looking down the 45m Icehouse (16) climb that I abseiled and then ascended on toprope solo. It's quite a way compared to what I'm used to, but did it just fine. Great climb, I highly recommend it. Enough jugs to keep you going for that next good hold.

Icehouse Anchor
This was the view from the top of the Icehouse anchor on Ngungun today. Spectacular.

Icehouse Trad
Near the beginning of Icehouse you are carrying a whole lot of extra weight in the gear needed to place in the cracks for protection.

Relief
That is me and a face of happiness and relief of having passed the crux move on Icehouse, knowing that I'm actually going to reach the top.

Icehouse Trad Climb
Today I climbed Icehouse on belay after Sandro did all the hard work of leading and protecting the climb. This is a classic climb on Ngungun's upper cliffs, grade 16, plenty of jugs but 45 metres is a long way up. I was struggling in a few moments and I wasn't even having to place gear. Thanks for putting in the hard yakka Sandro.
