Sea Breeze
A big thunderstorm kept us entertained during the night (!) and then dumped an inch or two of rain over breakfast – was that the day written off? Nope, this […]
Panorama
A grey day needn’t be bad news – especially if you want to climb on an otherwise too sunny crag. Today’s gloom prompted a look at Panorama, the sector of […]
Ghost KitchenÂ
With a few routes under our belts, and confirmation that my dodgy hand is at least permitting some climbing, we decide to sample some of Kalymnos’ biggest attraction – it’s […]
Geriakos
With the storm having blown through, we had a bit of cloud and a cooling breeze so decided to brave a sunny crag. Geriakos came highly recommended by Mike and […]
Arginonta
With a forecast for showers and thunderstorms it made sense to be near the road on a south facing crag with the occasional cave. Arginonta main crag, just across the […]
Welcome to Kalymnos – Arginonta Valley
After a midnight arrival on Kos and an overnight at the Matichari Bay hotel, we caught the 10am ferry to Kalymnos. Absolutely rammed as the 9 o’clock had been cancelled […]
Bamford
What a change from last Wednesday. Tshirt and shorts was the order of the day, and Burbage was bathed in glorious sunshine! Just what the Rucksack Club ordered for the […]
A quick fix at The Torrs
With a bit of a lull in the summery weather a local sheltered spot was called for – where better than New Mills Torrs? Dave and I headed down into […]
Ravenstones and Rob’s Rocks – a two Chew day
With the Rucksack Club meet set for Ravenstones in the evening, but Jim needing to be back by 5, we settled on a 2 crag strategy. Start the day at […]
Stanage – Marble Wall
A quick blast of climbing was just what Jake needed after a tough few days, but would the weather play ball? With rain spattering on the windscreen over The Snake […]
Lakeland dash – a day of two crags
Fresh from a fortnight of sunshine and shiny bolt clipping, what better antidote to the “Back in Blighty Blues” than a dash to the Lakes with Stan and Paul? The […]
Torre d’en Beu – You Either Climbed Today Or You Didn’t
Opening the shutters this morning we were greeted with thick clouds, persistent drizzle and a howling wind – that’s what you get for staying on top of a mountain I […]
Back to Caimari
It didn’t take too much persuasion to tempt us back to Caimari, as it probably has the best selection of long unpolished routes on the island, so we checked in […]
La Creveta – sharp holds and rusty bolts in a super seaside setting
With a strong southerly wind and temps in the mid 20s, Creveta offered shade, shelter and a stunning outlook. Unfortunately, much of the development here took place 20 years ago […]
Caimari – the best of the new developments in Mallorca?
Having left our villa in Soller we’re ensconced in a quirky hotel in the centre of the island – santori de Cura is a converted monestary at the top of […]
Valdemossa – the perfect airport day crag
A week has flown by and it’s time for the kids to head back home, so it’s Dad’s Cabs for the next couple of days. Jake and Leah are off […]
Alaro – A return match with Buf!
The towering cliffs behind the village of Alaro host some fabulous routes including a candidate for perhaps the best selection of tufas to be found anywhere. Another hour’s drive and […]
Calla Magraner
This was a trip down memory lane, as Helen and I were last here with a 8 and a 5 year old… Tash led here first route and Jake spent […]
Fraguel
What an awesome spot! High up in the mountains and tucked away up a hidden gorge, it is a wonder that it was discovered and developed. Happily it was! A […]
