I was wearing three pairs of thermals plus a wind stopper, everything was warm except my fingers and feet! Trish and Greg abseiled next and then me. As I went down I tried to take some pics of the little icicles over to the left, and then I saw some to the right, just a few tiny ones, but still cool.
I got down to the bottom and Rod said something but I was too engrossed in trying to pull down the rope, it seemed to be stuck for a while. Once we got the rope down, they all drew my attention to the small waterfall not really a waterfall just a drip from the creek above. The vegetation surrounding the waterfall was covered in ice. Yet as always you judged it right… it looked worth while going!
Glad to see you are wiser than me, I would have stayed home and missed out on that amazing ice garden! Ah Jen, you give me too much credit! Plus I figured, what the hell, go for it! A great way to spend a cold day. Blue sunny skies for the drive up. Thermals to stay warm. Bits and pieces of snow and ice. Nice abseils. Short walks in and out. Hot chocolate to finish and back to Central Coast by 6pm. Thanks Marilyn. Plain scared and awkward is more like it. Funny how balance and coordination disappear on you sometimes.
Aaah, the Zen of abseiling gracefully! Great day, thanks Marilyn. Your email address will not be published. Make my day, follow me! Adventures with M. There comes a time when you stop lying about your age and start bragging about it! Skip to content. Winter Magic — Katoomba Posted on June 27, by marilyn. Trish on the first abseil, note the trickling water near her feet. Rod on the last abseil. Trish on last abseil. Ice on the branches — just like freezing rain in cold countries.
Ice covered vegetation at the side of the waterfall. Trish climbing the pagoda where we had lunch. Greg on the big drop. Bookmark the permalink. June 27, at pm. Amazingly not that bad! Nah, had cold toes and hands at the top but once down fine. Jeff says:. Jen says:. Greg Gibson says:. June 28, at am. Trish says:. Leave a Reply Cancel reply Your email address will not be published.
