Portland Climbing
Fiona got to us about 9 am and we headed over to Portland. We decided that we would go to the Bower first but there were climbers already there so we continued down the cliff to The Dell. We hadn't climbed there before so new climbs for all of us.
Due to the clocks changing we were already hungry when we arrived so first thing was lunch!
After lunch I started things off by lead climbing 'The Naughty Corner'
and then we climbed 'Sjambok the Skelem' which was the next climb to the left.
Next we went back up to see if The Bower was free, unfortunately it wasn't so we went to The Cuttings and climbed 'Quality Family Day' - a longer climb with some good hand holds
before moving on to The New Cuttings. The last time we were in this area I was not able to climb as I had had my hand operation 5 days before. We first of all climbed 'Two Nuns, a Hang-glider and Jesus'
and then 'Elephant on Rollerskates'.
A great day of climbing.
