(low)landlubber

Evenings out are pretty barny at the moment. Hot hot hot never ending hot hot hot. Even the most obscure and shaded bits are thoroughly baked making adventures a plenty. Organizing an evening out a week in advance is to easy. No need to check the forecast. It's gonna be grand!

Limekilns, Cambusbarron and North Third have received plenty of after work attention. Having taken some time off from climbing to train (eat, sleep, swim-bike-run, repeat), its been good to get back out.

The rock round here really is so diverse. Limekilns provides some great (and steep) thin crack and face climbing, with the camby quarries and north third proving some great (and steep) jamming. 

Highlights have been Jezebel at North Third, Elgin's Crack at Limekilns and Stonefall Crack at Dumbarton.

I'm really starting to love this place. Long may the drought continue.
