Got on some multipitch trad routes at Dyurrite / the Arapiles on the weekend. First big multi pitch for me and my climbing partner, we took all day to do five pitches (Shroud, 120m, grade 10 (5.4 / 3.b) great fun https://www.thecrag.com/en/climbing/australia/arapiles/the-pharos/route/12921373 if you're interested). Picture is me on Conifer Crack on the second pitch.
Going back to work today to get some rest.

Climbing at Crag Lough, Northumberland - right under the Roman Wall. A god old-fashioned dolerite crag on the Great Whin Sill, one of the main geological features in Northumberland. #Northumberland #RomanWall #Climbing #RockClimbing #TradClimbing

From the base, I think this was 400ft total? I forget.

I'd kinda forgotten I'd made this video; throwback to last month's trip with Jeremy and Robin - day two and there was trad. Port Eynon's Boiler slab is, indeed, impressively slabby and quite imposing. Not a great camera angle on this one; the routes start a scramble up the grassy, stepped bit of the slab until you hit the steeper rock, and finding a camera perch that completely captured the route and the actual angle of the wall was clearly far more effort than I put in! Still, this was a great line in a gorgeous location, with good company. Robin did a great job seconding this one, once he found his mojo again after the wounding the day before. Definitely somewhere to go back to and maybe get some trad try-hard going.

Sometimes when crack climbing, the crack strikes back. (actually it strikes back every time...) #selfie

New crag for the ever-excellent Sue Lambooij and I - decided on as much because a route called "The Lesser of Two Weevils" ought to be climbed as any other - over by Weston Super Mare. Uphill Quarry was great as it turned out, apart from the... "colourful" locals having a "bbq". The view's pretty good, the anchors and ab-points solid (more solid than some of the rock anyway!) and mostly quiet - "wildlife" aside, we were the only climbers until the locals showed up for an evening climb. Oh, and the café had pretty good hot chocolate!

Final climb from Bowden Doors yesterday - around 7pm and still hot in a t-shirt! This is "Black and Tan", a 2-star Severe on Main Wall... nice. 👌
