climbing (rock)

[Jamie]

i've been able to take advantage of the nicer weather recently and get outside climbing 3 times in the last week. normally work and weather get in our way so i tend to be limited to climbing inside .....boo hiss, while good for stamina and strength my gear placements and setting up belays is the bit i need practice on.

 

i've managed my second HVS (inside i'm hitting 6c/easy 7a) yesterday at Dunkeld. anyway here are some pics, mainly off me

You could do with a bit more gear mate.

 

Looks like you had a great time.

Impressive crag there Jamie, nice looking ascent.

 

Looks like you had yourselves an enjoyable challenge.

 

Where abouts in Dunkeld is this, I only really know the hermitage.

 

A group of us stayed in a log cabins at Butterstone for New years a few years back, and we had a hung over scramble & climb one arvo.

 

Can't for the life of me remember where it was though, tbh I can't even remember the climbing , but the wife swears we did.

 

 

 

Nice shots btw

lovely shots, looks like the weather was indeed on your side! aint been climbin in or outdoors for months myself, used to be at the wall at least 3 times a week, now nuthin due to work and general rubbish (violin comes out) however havin a gander at these piccies has got the ol' fingers twicthin for some action! may have to find/make/steal some time and make it happen!

it was Polney crag, over the road from teh hermitage. the shots of me placing gear were taken from a nice beech tree.

 

I need to get out more, much more enjoyable than an indoor venue, besides i've just pulled my hamstrings tonight heel hooking a ceiling.
