Sa Mollo de Felanitx
Billed as a shady crag with plenty of easy to mid grade routes, this seemed like a good spot to start Ollie off on his arrival – especially after a […]
Sa Gubia
This has to be Mallorca’s premier crag for the breadth of climbing available, from huge moderate multi pitch routes to steep test pieces, all in a fabulous setting – good […]
Port de Soller – Adventures in Blob land
Easter Sunday arrived and the Easter Bunny had managed to find his way to our villa 🙂 Before chocolate saturation could set in we headed for Port de Soller, a […]
S’Estret
Another toasty day and another search for a shady crag – this time with the added complication of needing a spread of grades to cater for Leah’s first day climbing […]
Penyal d’es Grau
Another shady crag, and handily near the road, this is a new addition in the latest Rockfax. Notably less polished than Garrafa and much less busy – just us and […]
Puig de Garrafa – Welcome to Mallorca
We hadn’t visited Mallorca for 7 (me) and 15 (Helen) years, and there has been a lot of development since, so this visit is a chance to check out some […]
Short session at Stoney
After a few days being cooped up indoors whilst Britain basked in unseasonal sunshine, Jake and I seized on a brief window to grab a couple of routes. Where else […]
Hobson Moor
The ‘official’ climbing season got underway with the first Wednesday evening meet of the year, at Hobby by tradition. Despite the spring weather earlier in the month, it was all […]
Intake or Caretaker Quarry
We’ve spent the last couple of weeks reacquainting ourselves with the glories of Grit. In the spirit of ‘a change is as good as a rest’ it has been renewed […]
Wingather
I had a fun Sunday afternoon at Windgather, courtesy of a call from Bill. John Reppy was visiting from the States, and Bill was temporarily hors de combat in terms […]
Lawrencefield
A perfect place for a sunny but blustery day, and home to some of my favourite routes in the Peak. After a couple of warm ups on the Gingerbread Slab, […]
Millstone
With the forecast suggesting that Monday would be the last decent day before the monsoon returned, it seemed churlish not to drag aching limbs out for one last day. Leaving […]
Bamford
Having inflicted a rammed Stanage on Neil and Maria, we hoped for a bit more tranquillity at Bamford, and there were certainly fewer climbers – still plenty of walkers wanting […]
Sunny Stanage
Spring has well and truly arrived, and the hordes have arrived at Stanage – including about ten Rucksackers and friends. I’ve never seen the High Neb parking so full. Luckily, […]
Limestone shuffle
With spring in the air (finally, after a few depressing days of rain and even a couple of wall visits 😦 ) Jim and I head into the Peak for […]
Back in Blighty
Time to catch up with friends and family. Straight off the ferry and after one night in our own bed we headed over to Beudy in Llanberis. The occasion is […]
Etxauri recce and San Fausto saves the day
Etxauri IS the premier crag in Navarra, and we’d saved it for a fitting finale as our last day’s cragging on this trip. Imagine our disappointment as we woke to […]
Penartea – heading into Navarra
There’s a lot of rock in Navarra, just like the rest of Spain, and a fair bit of climbing concentrated around Pamplona. We’ve been keeping an eye on the weather […]
Morata de Jalon – Las Torcas
Our trip has come almost full circle. We stopped off at Morata de Jalon for a few routes on our first day off the ferry on the way down. This […]
Jaraba
Jaraba-Daba-Do! …as Fred Flintstone would say. This crag was recommended to us by a couple from Zaragoza who we met at the Moraira sea cliffs, and gets 5 crabs in […]
