Arrived late at night in strong winds and had to drive up the most scary road! under a large water pipe.Had an early night, but even so the boys would not get up early in the morning, are they trying to delay me thinks!
We all walked in with every bit of climbing gear the boys have.
No rain and the strong winds have dropped slightly so all looking good, until we try to scramble to the bottom of the climb! too wet and dangerous so the boys rope up! Gues what Rich has the wrong climbing shoes with him (he picked up Marks!) so Simon has a long walk back to get the right ones.
Pitch one at A3 takes Mark 5 hours, then Rich leads pitch two A1 in one hour. They then come back to the van for tea and to refresh ready for tomorrow.
We have booked the ferry out for Thursday so the boys have to do it all today!

Are you sure that it wasn't Mark who took the wrong shoes with him?
Glad to hear that things seem to be going well. Hope that today went to plan too.
See you guys soon,
Take Care

Sam Rich and co, as a non climbing member of the family, I must admit to being very anxious, but full of awe and admiration for you all. Please keep safe.
