Climb Up As Rain Comes Down

It's the time of year when all climbers are searching for dry rock, and trying to avoid the wind, storms and midges - so - off to The Olive Branch again just as the rain starts in Fort William. It seems like everybody else I know has been there this year already.. It's time for Sport climbing!!

Lena at full stretch on this crux, making thin moves between semi-jugs.

I'm still not happy to fall off (need to sort thet out!) - so doing all I can to hold on.
Lena sorts out these 6c moves with good footwork and crimps on tiny holds.

I end up doing the same 6c crux in a completely different way - using a layback on the R to a semi jug.

Some of the flowstone is like the limestone sport in North Wales (A55). Here I ended up doing a body weight finger move on a tiny stalagtite - didn't snap even with my weight!


Lena on the same climb - different solutions - less thug, more core!
