Leech bites from walk out through rainforest
The blood on Mats leg is from leech bites. They can be in plague proportions at times, particularly after a big wet season but have been knocked around of late by the drought. Mat got these bites during a walk out from attempting an ascent of Escension 260m A2+ 17 or free at Oz grade 25.
Escension is on Mt. Warning, northern New South Wales, Australia.
