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.

Leviathan is a cracking route, isn't it? One of a number of good low-medium grade routes at the Dewerstone.

@Badgardener Totally worth the stars... the single-pitch HVS next to it looks tasty, too... but yes, loads of fine-looking lines at every grade, which is rare. Definitely have to go back and try some

Central Groove is obviously the crag classic, and it’s a corker, but even some of the V Diffs are great, too.

@Badgardener Yep, might have done Central grove, but there were people on it. Absolutely stunning-looking line. That's the one with the alternate finish - Vala goes about half way up the first pitch, then moves out diaginally left onto the overlaps on the wall to finish on the first pitch belay of Leviathan. Looks tasty....
