This weekend had first trad climbing experience outside of mountaineering routes
This weekend had first trad climbing experience outside of mountaineering routesThe rock was technically easy to climb, but a bit scary. Positive slope means falling to the last anchor will hurt a lotTurns out I didn't know some essential things about building anchors (like the correct way to clip into self-equalizing anchor). Also lack of practice since the spring made me work way slower than I used toBut thanks to the great mountaineer leading our group we learned a lot in a single day, even practised with 6-8 types of anchors..at the very end I chipped away a corn kernel sized piece of fingernail while hammering out some pitons in the dark ^~^#climbing
Well, it wasn't sport ALL day; Jeremy decided to "try" an E1 trad route in my absolute favourite style (/sarc).
Well, it wasn't sport ALL day; Jeremy decided to "try" an E1 trad route in my absolute favourite style (/sarc). Time to see if my occasional and minimal practice has supplied me with ANY jamming skills at all... For those who don't speak UK trad, 5c English Technical is maybe 6a sport - assuming you can jam! This felt ooooo 6c at least #Climbing #TradClimbing #LimestoneClimbing #WyeValleyClimbing #Wyndcliffe #OutdoorClimbing #TopRoping
Trad at Plas Y Brenin
I spent this last week in North Wales on a lead #climbing course at Plas Y Brenin. Although it was late in the year the course instructor managed to get us climbing outside every day. We explored many of the interesting crags available including the sea cliffs.It was a great course and Peter was a great guide and instructor. I’ve learned loads and am looking forwards to getting out next year exploring more of the amazing #tradclimbing places in North Wales.
Climbing in the Dolomites a few weeks ago.
#Klettern in den #Dolomiten vor ein paar Wochen. Das Wetter war meistens wolkig aber gut. Nur an den Cinque Torri wurden wir beim Abseilen eingeseift. #Climbing in the #dolomites a few weeks ago. The weather was cloudy but mostly good. Only at the Cinque Torri we got drenched while rappelling.
So that was a good couple of days... Got my Foundation Coach done (thanks to Garland Mountaineering and some very patient students who hung around for me to make it to Exeter), then got to spend a chill evening with a friend (Mark), followed by a comfy...
So that was a good couple of days... Got my Foundation Coach done (thanks to Garland Mountaineering and some very patient students who hung around for me to make it to Exeter), then got to spend a chill evening with a friend (Mark), followed by a comfy sofa to sleep on and (better still) a trip to #Dewerstone today to send this rather fabulous VS, Leviathan, in a stunning setting.#climbing #TradClimbing #Trad #DevonClimbing
Vuelo del Águila
Superb day to be in the high mountains, climbing day with guest Jordan experiencing the Vuelo del Águila rock climbing route up onto Veleta 3394m.#climbing #mountaineering #spain
Near the start of the mighty, 4km-long Bernia Ridge, Costa Blanca.
Near the start of the mighty, 4km-long Bernia Ridge, Costa Blanca. A fantastic day out, particularly when combined with a bivvy in the Forat (cave/tunnel) under the ridge the night before.#mountains #climbing #scrambling #SomeRiskInvolved
Rocher de la Reine
Turns out running 130miles over a weekend really zaps you. I had enough energy for about 3 decent goes on this. #fontainebleau #bouldering #rocherDeLaReine
Another view from Wolf Crag #Northumberland on Wednesday afternoon.
Another view from Wolf Crag #Northumberland on Wednesday afternoon. The descent route at this end of the crag is down an enclosed gully that's capped by this boulder. We racked-up and left the rest of our gear at the top; seemed easier! It's a small crag, and this lichenous rock is indicative, but there are some nice routes, albeit rather short ones. #Climbing #TradClimbing #Photography
We were lucky with the Sunday afternoon weather at Kyloe Crag.
We were lucky with the Sunday afternoon weather at Kyloe Crag. Four leads, including three on-sights, one of them a VS... which for me is good! Seconded a couple more, including a repeat of an E1, and still thought it was nuts!! #Climbing #TradClimbing #Northumberland
#Bouldering on the edge of Tokyo is always a good time. #climbing #photography

A couple more from Peel Crag #Northumberland last night. A chilly but fun evening of #Climbing and trying out a second-hand camera... a Sony ZV-E10 with a 20mm Viltrox f2.8 prime. Happy with it so far, and I think it's going to better than using my GoPro as a camera. #Photography #TradClimbing
The weather stayed (somewhat!!) like this!
