3 out of 5 stars Beautiful sunny day in April

We started on Birdie party and it felt hard today. Not sure why. Maybe because this was my 4th day in a row???

We traversed across to MF anchors thinking that we would do pitch two...I was too tired. The traverse is fun and airy on big rail, with thin feet.
