With temperatures forecast to hit almost 30 we decided to head high! The cable car at Fuente De is only 25 minutes further up the valley, and gives access to […]
Scorchio again, but a late start meant that our chosen crag was starting to go into the shade 🙂 Actually, the most fun aspect of Las Placas is the Tyrollean […]

Rumenes is the premier crag of the area, with a couple of slabby sectors complemented by some awesome Tufa terrain. It was cracking the flags when we arrived, and the […]
This impressive gorge runs along the eastern edge of the Picos d’Europa, from Panes down to Potes – a charming touristy village. We’ve based ourselves at a fab campsite just […]

After about 30 years of wanting to go to Lundy, the opportunity finally arose thanks to Steve George organising a Rucksack Club meet. 20 of us boarded the MS Oldenberg […]
With Jake back from South America, and a brief window before starting 3rd year at Med School, he was keen for a quick fix of Peak trad climbing. We settled […]
