Kings of the Wild Frontier (Zawn)
Mother Carey’s and the nearby Frontier Zawn are near Lydstep and completely outside the MoD firing range, as well as being largely unaffected by bird bans (apart from StarGate – […]

Trevallen, St. Govans and Mowing Word
Pembroke climbing is a logistical nightmare – so much amazing climbing with so many conflicting things stopping you from doing it! Tides – these are at least very predictable, but […]
Stennis Head and a reminder why they call it “Adventure Climbing”
Jake had a few days of a late Easter holiday spare, so much time was spent scouring weather apps to see where would offer the best scope for climbing. The […]
Higgar Tor and a bit of “head pointing”
If you are looking for dry rock in The Peak then Higgar Tor has the advantage of being hideously overhanging. Of course, that does come with the downside that all […]
Spring in The Peak
Back in Blighty and at least “the beast from the East” has headed back. In fact, Thursday is positively spring like, and even though we’re only just off the boat […]
ThauracĀ
This is a great set of crags a few km from Ganges, about 50km north of Montpellier and the Med. The area’s main claim to fame is the show cave […]
Vingrau, Tauteval and Opoul – Route de la Grimpe
Warning – this post contains no actual climbing! We decided to spend a rest day getting a bit of the drive north done and recceing the crags around Vingrau. This […]
MontgronyĀ
This has been a year of climbing in spectacular spots, high up in the hills and accessed only thanks to centuries of work in constructing snaking tracks to access a […]
BergaĀ
We’d been hoping to use the spring weather towards the end of our trip to explore some of the many cragging options nearer the Pyrenees. After a long wait, we […]
Coll de Nargo – Sector Coll Pique and SamarkandĀ
A major deluge throughout Saturday prompted a much needed rest day and a change of scene, so we headed over the hills to Oliana. Great views of the world’s second […]
CubellsĀ
Another trip to Cubells – we were last here about 18 months ago with Bill and Steve. Once again the crag seemed to have been block booked by Brits, with […]
Ager – Barranc de Grillons
We’d been itching to head back to this excellent crag ever since arriving in the area, especially Helen who had been injured on the previous occasion we’d visited, but chilly […]
Santa LinyaĀ
Another trip to Santa Linya sector Futbalin – I must have climbed here four or five times, and on the face of it that might seem daft considering the other […]
Camarasa – sector Crestes de ConillĀ
Camarasa is a charming village with a a great bakery – Forn de Pa Capdevila, and a whole array of crags (with almost 400 routes). Unfortunately, most of these are […]
Sant Llorenc de Montgai – El CilindreĀ
We woke to a beautiful morning with spectacular views over the crags around our camping spot. What a difference a day makes – beats the rows of static caravans or […]
Alos de Balaguere and a 3-crag dayĀ
After a week in the area around Barcelona we felt like getting a bit further away from the metropolis. The Prades and the Pyrenees would both fit the bill, but […]
Grau dels Matxos
After a couple of day’s hiatus in the climbing plan to make room for a 36 hour dash back for a work commitment in Blighty, we’re back in RockAroundTheWorld action… […]
CellecsĀ
Further up into the hinterland north of Barcelona, squeezed between the limestone around the coast and the conglomerate of Montserrat, lies a modest but charming set of granite crags. Cellecs […]
Back to SansuiesĀ
After seeing off the last of the SunRockers on their flights back to Blighty, we had a much needed rest day on the coast near Barcelona, before scratching our heads […]
Siurana – El Ditot and a fitting sunrock finaleĀ
It kept us waiting until the very end, but day 7 of the 2018 SunRock trip finally delivered the kind of day we’d signed up for. Clear skies and warm […]
