It has NOT been easy for most climbers who often had to wake up at stupid hours and/or climb in extreme hot weather. While some forced themselves to climb despite sickness, others finished climbing at night with head torches!  Along the way, some got bitten by ticks, attacked by bees, bitten by millions of mosquitoes and even threatened by tiger snakes! One freaked out after his only protection fell off, at least 2 others took some serious falls, a few scared themselves on precarious runouts (section of a route with little protection placement) while too many injured themselves (a knee, an ankle, a wrist and lots of finger tips).
