Mt Barney has always been at the top of my list of things to do. Finally I managed to not only tick it off I did the ridge I've always said I wouldn't do, South East Ridge. While it wasn't as bad as I'd thought it would be, it still has it's share of sketchy moments for someone with anxiety when I couldn't quite reach a hand hold or foot hold properly or get enough grip from my shoes or the wet rock from the light rain as we got higher up.
Luckily we had a good group that was always there to help each other when needed at different times through out the climb with encouragement or helping had to lift or pull some one up.
Fun descent down into the saddle to Rum Jungle for a quick break and then down South Ridge/Peasants Ridge to finish the day off. All up it took us around 9.5hrs because we weren't rushing and or old weary bodies started aching towards the end.
A long but thoroughly enjoyable day worth every ounce of effort put into the climb.
