Catrin Goes Climbing

Catrin had another terrific Gower climbing day today, 13 climbs and 10 abseils. The highlights for me included 'Superdirect' and 'South Edge'. It took a lot to challenge her, but in the end we managed to find some climbs to match her young talent. A star in the making I think...

Gowers Great Tor

The heat wave continues. Sun and a weekend equals a busy busy Gower, with parking hard to find. Tesco full of people buying barbecue stuff, and beaches full of people carrying inflatable stuff.

Strangely not many people climbing the classics. Alex, Trevor and I headed for Great Tor. We got sandbagged by a poor description in the guide book, putting our biceps to the test. We did all the aretes, edges, slabs and steep walls on the upper tier, before moving to the lower tier.
We had an ace day, and even saw the sun set..


Maybe a BBQ tomorrow night..
