Pembroke, summer’s final blast

Monday, 30th September 2024

Nigel and I had long planned our September trip to Pembroke, and as luck would have it we found ourselves enjoying the fabulous climbing on the limestone sea cliffs in what turned out to probably be the best week of weather in the whole of the 2024 summer…

Austrian Cragging

Monday, 30th September 2024

On the way to Austria we stopped in Bamberg for a night. Not only did we snag a great German beer and Sausage dinner we also just happened to be in Bamberg during a music festival. The town was very lively! 🙂 Peilstein Our first destination in Austria was Peilstein. We had two days here …

Mingulay Washout

Monday, 30th September 2024

After last year’s amazing trip to Pabbay we thought we’d follow that up with a trip to Mingulay for more awesome climbing on another mythical uninhabited island in the Scottish Outer Hebrides…

Lake District Rock, the 3rd edition of Wired’s FRCC Guidebook has landed!

Friday, 28th June 2024

Moroccan Rock 2024

Monday, 11th March 2024

Climbing the Moroccan Anti-Atlas Mountains is a fantastic and addictive adventure! This year the team was Nick, Steve, Ed, and Pete. Although we did suffer a couple of ailments … unfortunately Steve had a few days off climbing due to a shocking cough, and Pete’s abilities were curtailed by a desperately painful knee. However, these …

A Week of Muppetry in the Three Valleys

Friday, 23rd February 2024

Our customary trip skiing with the Muppets this year was based in the Three Valleys, that largest ski area in the world! We’ve been to the Three Valleys before, back in 2019. But then we were based in the sleepy La Tania. Being a bit sleepy, La Tania was a cheaper option in days-gone-by. Now-a-days …
