Some pics from late night #bouldering yesterday. I'm very much still a beginner, but I'm happy with the red and pink courses here that I flashed #sports #climbing

So, once again I find myself lacking actual mountains for #MountainsWrapped 2024, but I think @bergmeister 's year's summary of the outdoors idea is great, so Imma go with it again with some crag pics from the year that have some meaning for me.
So, once again I find myself lacking actual mountains for #MountainsWrapped 2024, but I think @bergmeister 's year's summary of the outdoors idea is great, so Imma go with it again with some crag pics from the year that have some meaning for me. Sparser pickings for me this year as I haven't got much outdoor climbing in for various reasons; mostly the fabulous British summer, my fave climbing partner heartlessly pushing off to another country for a few months, and me doing a bunch of training courses and assessments. This year included finishing my RCI - which would have appeared in this post but for the minor problems of not having any pics, finishing it in the p**sing rain, and Sheepstor being about the least mountainous place I've climbed. So here goes; meaning as well as description in the AltText#Climbing #Kalymnos #Dewerstone #WintoursLeap #Trowbarrow #LimestoneClimbing #TradClimbing #SportClimbing #GraniteClimbing
#FootpathFriday
#FootpathFriday It's under there, I promise. CMD Arete, with Ben Nevis summit on the right.My son and brother-in-law descending part of the ridge - we'd done an overnight camp just before this point, and were just getting going again after a fairly muzzy awakening. There are times it's a bit of a struggle getting out of a warm sleeping bag, but we still had the summit to ourselves before anyone else turned up.We tobogganed down the other side to about 500m off Glen Nevis valley floor - possibly the easiest descent I've ever had off The Ben.#Mountains #Climbing #SomeRiskInvolved
Bueno, parece que el gordo barbudo, el Olentzero, el Tío Nadal, el Apalpador o los magos se han adelantado un poco y vienen montañeros...

Finishing up tonight's indoor session with a low-level traverse, and I found a "Hero" sized mini Double Decker hidden in a hold!!

Today, the weather was challenging with intermittent rain, but I still managed to climb three nice routes and take some photos.

Nearing the end of our Spanish climbing trip.
Nearing the end of our Spanish climbing trip. This was from yesterday, "Three Sixty", a 120m multipitch at Coral East not far from El Chorro. (So-called because of the 360° view that you're rewarded with from the summit ridgeline, and there's a fun abseil off the back!) This is my first experience of sport climbing, and it's been a lot of fun. I think I probably still prefer British Trad, but you can't argue with the weather! #Climbing #SportClimbing #ElChorro #Spain

Some easy, relaxed climbing in Yvoir, Belgium today
Some easy, relaxed #climbing in #Yvoir, #Belgium today.A large rockslide took out most of the top layer of this slab 3 years ago. The yellow bits in the first picture are newly exposed rock; the dark grey is some of the old rock surface that is still hanging on.
Back from a trip to the Lake District.
Back from a trip to the Lake District. On the negative side, I didn't get three days climbing... On the super-positive side, I did get two days of Mountain Training Development Coach training with the ever-excellent John Kettle PLUS a day of climbing at Trowbarrow Quarry. As a bonus, also a nice stay at Lyndhurst Guest House in Kendal and a play at KendalWall on their long autobelays.#MountainTraining #Climbing #TradClimbing #Coaching #ClimbingIsMyPassion #Kendal #LakeDistrict #LimestoneClimbing
My the first visit to Swiss crags.
My the first visit to Swiss crags. Eppenberg near Aarau.Local climbers did a very good job taking care of the place. Pitty that we didn't have more time. Climbing was our lowest priority of the day. #climbing #switzerlnd
Climbing at Leda today
Climbing at Leda today! Ellie is officially a crag dog!! Had a short day, so only really did 3 climbs (Gigantic, Treehugger, Footloose). Always a good day when you touch rock though [image: 1730430406087-pxl_20241031_182149653.mp-resized.jpg] [image: 1730430407135-pxl_20241031_184429111-resized.jpg] [image: 1730430408068-pxl_20241031_184445033-resized.jpg] [image: 1730430409602-pxl_20241031_181838953.mp-resized.jpg] #climbing #rockclimbing #lowerleda #southeast #openbeta
When the rock outside is hot to the touch there is always indoor climbing

Bottle Glass Crag (Rattlesnake Point)
A new favourite in the area, Bottle Glass has got some nice unpolished moderates away from the crowds at the main wall. All you have to put up with is a floor covered in glass shards from the practices of local drunks, hence the name.

This is what it's all about! 🧗♀️
This is what it's all about! 🧗️Recently helped kit out a young local climber for her school trip to Spain - now look at her crushing it! Proper made our day getting these photos. Nothing better than seeing the next generation of climbers developing their skills! #outdoors #OutdoorAdventure #climbing #ClimbingGear
