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

Had a great day climbing in the Burren (Co. Clare, Ireland) with my friend Barry from Limerick.
We developed two new routes (first ascends) at Slieve Rua:
Broken Bum (HS), lead by Barry, and Midday in the Midlands (HS) lead by 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

Hardest lead of the day for me. Another epic line, if not quite as striking as the apparently famous Jean Jeanie just to the left. Definitely tougher, despite being the same grade on paper. Such an impressive face of rock and so many interesting lines up it. Weirdly, I almost found this harder than the HVS on the diagonal crack just above, which I managed to second clean despite a couple of awkward gear retrievals.

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.

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 😂

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.

Despite the fabulous British summer and other impediments, managed to get a little Fairy Caveage in yesterday with a new climbing partner. Great day getting my #Trad on.

Some pics from this friday's jaunt back to Fairy Cave... This time with the excellent @SueLambooij (unmarked pics by Sue), who suggested this fun, little number; "Equals Not" (18m VS 4b). Moves enough to be fun, gear enough to be solid plus bonus flowers and hex belay (love a good hex!🤣)

The first climb from #FairyCaveQuarry last Friday week with @HelenFinn. Another crag classic it seems and definitely worth a climb. 38m of balancy slabbiness.

A few shots from the rather fun Tricam workshop day with Rise and Summit at Wintours Leap on Saturday. Leads on Swallow's Nest (VS 4c) and African Killer Bee (VS 4c) including placing some of said (rather versatile as it turns out) pointy devices. Not shown; the faceful of hail I took 3/4 of the way up Swallow's Next - mostly, I suspect, because Kev was rather more concerned for my safety on the suddenly very slimy and rather exciting upper section than taking pics 🤣 Thanks for that, Kev! Also nice to have climbing pics that don't feature my backside!

Great day out with Helen Finn last Friday at #FairyCaveQuarry. Maybe the curse of it raining every time I go there has been lifted, maybe not; it didn't actually rain, but despite the forcast it almost did! Nice venue, great routes, fairly comfy grades. This 35m VS was well worth the 3 stars it gets and just at the right challenge level for me to improve my gear placements under a bit of pressure.

Well, I kinda assumed Plump Hill was soft, what with it being very slabby and all, but Shorn Cliff is definitely "proper" trad routes, so either the grades are soft there too, or I'm getting better; this VS 4b actually felt not too bad, and I'm even placing slightly less gear (probably still too much, though....)

Pics from yesterday's sunny jaunt up the absolutely banging Zelda (HS4b) at Wintours Leap yesterday.
