The Rock Climbing Thread

If you lead The Bat with grades in hand you won’t experience the fight only the fact that the big corner pitch is rather scruffy close up and the other pitches a bit so-whatish. If it’s at your limit it then you’ll enjoy the fight. The Bat now has four E6s as neighbours, some of exceptional quality.

Have climbed the Bat the crux corner is pretty full on and usually wet, another great classic that feels like Alpine rock is minus one direct, quite often a bergschrund at the bottom.

Ooft, hard work today. What’s ‘bouldering mats hover and blow away mid crux’ on the Beaufort Scale? 🙂

…and take out a kid who’s on a Sunday stroll with their parents – no never happened to me 🙂

Anyone want to buy an Alfine wheel?

@Spin bit of a resurrection but I am actually interested. Can’t work out how to send a DM!

@rsl1 DM working again so yhm.

Suggestions for winter sport climbing destinations please…

Done Mallorca and El Chorro in November before and both were pretty wet. Sardinia was nice then, and Tenerife had great weather in January but not so nice rock.

Really want some nice long lines. Thinking Kalymnos, but flights are apparently bad in winter, which leaves Leonidio as an option… Any experience of it in winter?

Cheers
