July 26 Scott and I were back at the Mt. Barham/The Blade Col. Took a new line, way left of our attempt last summer, but again the steep slab shut us down with 5.9+ unprotectable climbing. We returned to our front country campsite to regroup. July 27 we needed a simple and easy day and chose the North West Ridge of Mt. Engadine. Fun easy day out with interesting scrambling and a good cardio workout. Just under 7 hours car to car. Great views and nice to tag a summit.
