Perfect Day at cummingston



Went to cummingston with kirsty for what turned out to be a perfect day, blue skys, dry rock and plenty climbing. Went to orange wall as other end was busy, guide book says"top roping is more common due to poor protection and snappy rock" and " a challenge to finger strength", it was right. protection was dubious as you can see in the picture below. It made for interesting climbing though and the routes had some good moves. Definetly reccomend King swing was alot of fun with really bouldery start. Will be back to do hickory dickory dock in the next few months . Got 6 routes done due to kirstys patience of standing at the bottom holding ropes for me! Thank you! Stewart I know your bouldering well just now and if your a little bit brave i rekon you could easily get Flakey wall, good for a first E1 since its 5a. Tope rope it a couple of times so you feel safe and you would get it no bother, i rekon you would onsight it easily though. No matter where you fall from on the route you wouldnt hit the floor. Worth remembering for next week!! Bring the big pair.
