Last video from the Gower series ("Oh, Goody!", I hear you cry!) and the last day of the trip; feeling a little thrashed... A few fairly easy climbs back at the Three Sisters to finish off a great trip, including this one. It's not as good a route as Scissor Sister next to it, or even Sister of Pain on the other side, but it was a fun route to end on. Thanks to Helen, Alesia, and Sarah for company and belays and especially to Sarah for doing all the organising!

Castaway cove has is possibly the most photogenic cove on Rhossili beach with some fantastic routes in it, and I've done quite a few now; this is the hardest so far and lives up to the great movement of the others. The only problem with Rhossili is you're always racing the tide and this was a quick pit-stop on the way back from Mermaid - the last route of the day. Thanks go to Alesia for the spotting attempt as I wheel-spinned my way up to the rather high first bolt - from my perspective it didn't feel quite as sketchy as it looked (I'd actually allowed for possible barnacle-related foot-slippage with very good hands), but it was definitely a hairier start than I'd imagined! Looks like I'm running out of excuses to not try the harder routes in the cove next time I get there!

Next up from Sister 2.5 on the Gower is "Schmills and Boon" on the tiny, top section of the area. A short, little number with an obvious (though not to read apparently) crux that packs a punch... Didn't help that when I actually sent it, I was crimping on some sort of vegetation that was gradually sliming my hand off the hold. Thanks go to Helen for a solid catch and putting up with me faffing around with the start a lot.

Another route from the Sister 2.5 area with Helen & Sarah - the hardest one I did and it'd be fun to go back and try some of the harder ones - and another one with nice moves. Again, actually felt kinda easier than expected - good day, getting stronger, or soft grades, who knows? - as, looking at it, I sort of expected a fall. The crux took a little working out, though!

It's been a while since I've posted anything - partly because I haven't had a lot of outdoor time this year so far. That changed last week with great trip to the Gower with the White Spider crowd. This was day 3 at the three sisters area - in this case Sister 2.5 - with Helen (on tradding my gear to the wall) and Sarah (on belay). Probably the best weather of the trip coming after a tent-straining gale the night before, and moves felt easy and flowy. Got love a climbing day like that!
