The crag turned out to be quite steep, quite impressive, and quite sandbaggy! Never mind the Devil’s Arse – mine certainly got a good kicking!

Actually, I wimped out before taking a hiding. After being lulled into a false sense of security by a very straightforward 50m 6c I was brought down to earth with a real struggle on a couple of 6b+s (….. my Arse! ) and decided to quit whilst the going was good.

Back at the campsite in time for a pre dinner run, so had a wander up the hill above the crag and was rewarded, eventually, by great views across into the Italian Alps.
