Evening all. Thought I would say hello. I'm relearning climbing afternoon 35+ years away from a rock face, mostly spent body boarding the Cornish sea's. Any ways that was getting tough on these old bones, so I thought, what can I do now that's far more relaxing and safe, I know, I'll get back into climbing.
So here I am a couple of years on. I have done a few basic scrambles with my lad around Snowdon horseshoe. Up Great end cust gully, CMD arrette on the Ben those sort of routes. All well and good when there is time, but what to do closer to home at weekends.
So I started tor bagging n Dartmoor and suddenly I needed to top out hundreds of little climbs without the use of a rope. Some of which I could not get up at first. So I joined the climbing hanger in Plymouth soon realised the reason I was struggling was because I was tragically bad at climbing. LoL.
Any way I am improving slowly and have now topped out all bar a couple of the tors that were eluding me previously. So I thought I would join in here and say hello and hopefully meet up with a few others who are equally tragic but try hard.
