High Tor
Plans for a High Tor trip were excitedly hatched, involving Delta G and Amber Gambler, with maybe another attempt on Tales for Jake. Gearing up we found we’d failed to […]

Millstone
Sunny Sunday afternoon, and a gentle session on the grit is too hard to resist, despite the dodgy calf. Warby, Chris and Sue are heading to Millstone so I drop […]
Birthday celebrations at Stoney
As if a Solar Eclipse, Super Moon and the Equinox weren’t enough to make Jake’s 19th Birthday a memorable event, how about a trip to Stoney? Remarkably the skies cleared […]
Back in Blighty – a trip to Pen Trwyn
Not a bad time to be arriving back in Blighty – the daffodills are out in the garden and there have been a couple of weather windows to allow some […]
Homeward-bound
On the ferry from Rotterdam to Hull – still sunny as we enjoy a final beer on deck before dinner. Heading home over the Woodhead we hadn’t really expected 3″ […]

Chulilla – Sector PARED DE ENFRENTE
Back on the sunny side, and there’s more fantastic quality climbing to be had on PARED DE ENFRENTE. Perhaps the route of the sector is the stepped overhanging groove / crack […]
Chulilla – Sector Oasis
This is where the bulk of the new development has taken place. About 4km of 80m crag, with hundreds of routes that barely scratch the surface of the full potential. […]
Chulilla – Sector Lamentations
We’ve had a few days at Chulilla over the years – Smitten with the fantastic rock architecture, but never really getting much out of the climbing – many of the […]
