Day two of our NW climbing trip and
Murdoch and I went to
Reiff. I have never been here so we had a wee
solo around warming up on some easy routes around the Pinnacle area
then tied onto various routes of a 'must do' nature or stuff Murdoch
hadn't done. We climbed Westering Home (E1 5b) and Channering Worm
(E3 5c). We then went too the Bouldering Cliff and and climbed The
Hand Traverse (HVS 5a) and Crack of Desire variation start (E4 6a)
which was brilliant but scary at the start! After that we went over
to the
Stone Pig area and climbed Strongbow (E1 5b) and finished on
Clatterbridge (E5 6b)! Absolutely nails route, its like climbing up
a finger board and the holds get worse and worse as you move away
from the gear. A great performance from Murdoch. Day 2 – very
tired with sore arms.
