After yesterdays trip to the gorge i was stoked to try some of the steep boulder problems in the gorge itself. We didn't have too much time to kill as we had to go to some athletics club awards evening so the gorge was an ideal venue for a quick session. I cant find any information on any of the problems in this sector but the one pictured below is awesome - from a low start, porwe thrugh the overhand on crimps and sidepulls to the diagonal lip, an awesome cross through to a sloper and some foot-faggotry land you can begin the rising lip traverse on crimps with worsening footies - grade? havn't a clue - but one of the best problems i've been on. Caroline spotted a traverse line aswell - thats going to keep me busy for a while - can make it as long as i like - the holds just keep on going - a great training venue for the future.
