Hello,

Climbed Curtain Call today with JT. We climbed the route in two pitches with a 70m. The first pitch had some funky mushrooms but good gear could be found. The middle of this pitch was quite wet. The upper pitch pulls through a pumpy roof before traversing onto the outside of the pillar which is extremely wet! There are plenty of hanging daggers on both slides of the climb.  A well beaten trail is in to the route.

To add to Pat's post, the roads were in bad shape for most of the Parkway, however, North of Tangle falls there was little more than 2-3cm of new snow.

Have a good weekend!
