Arrived in Dairy Farm with a few drops of rain as company all the way from Sembawang Road. Reliable Hee had gone chasing the wind, sailing. Most of the walls are wet and QX is conducting a course in Trad Climbing on the Direct. In such weather, it is usual that we will proceed to one of the few dry walls available. For me it is American Pie wall. The others tend to be the over-hanging ones which the rain could not get too but over-hanging walls climbs are too hard.
We took turns to lead the American Pie, 5c, with our own equipment because i want to give my carabiners some exercise. Otherwise they become stiff! Adrian top-roped the Rainmaker, 7a+. I tried but have to bypass the crux. It was still an enjoyable climb :) Adrian wanted to lead A, 6a on ABCD. It was damp but he did it nonetheless.
We then proceed to Boring wall to lead Desperado, 5.7. It was taken up by some JB climbers. I suggested that we trad on the Jaws, 5.5. This route had not been done for so long that Adrian don't even know its a route. Short route, 7m, but gave the pros a good work-out.
With encouragement from the drizzle, we decided to call it a day and head for late lunch.
