Regan goes Ballistic
Unable to match the sheer power of Ewan Sinclar, Auckland climber Regan McCaffery has had to settle for finishing off some of the easier routes at Frogatt Edge.
He seems to be sending quickly though with a second try redpoint of the notorious classic "Going Ballistic" (27). An old Richard Bull route it is considered to be one of the hardest of it's grade with long deadpoints between small 2 finger pockets.
Regan has recently returned from Europe where he seems to have spent more time injured, eating pastries, sampling the local Morrocan product, and trying to find some climbing superstars to hang out with , then actually doing any climbing. Lets hope he can actually send something over the summer at Paynes Ford.
With the depth of talent in the Auckland gym scene it's time for some more people to start sending hard route outdoors...or climbing outdoors at all.
