We have revised much of our tactics for the Rostrum now so that we can get it done in daylight. If we cant get it done then we are going to have real problems on Astroman since it will be hotter and longer and harder. Astroman is in the Sun and the Rostrum is in the shade. We are not taking any sort of back back or haul bag this time. We will just take a small stuff sack to put food in and taped up bottles of water for our drinks. We plan on taking only 2 litres each. We have also rethought our gear selection so that we are leaving some stuff back in the car and the leader wont be taking everything they imagine that they could use, just the stuff that we think we will need on that pitch.
Lighter weight, longer runouts and some knowledge of the first part of the route should give us the best chance we have to do this and Astroman.
Tomorrow is the day so we will be having dinner and getting ready for bed soon.
...... Might be a couple of days till I get to report again .....
