| The view down to the bay where the crags of Cala e codula Fuili are located. The prow of rock cloest to the beach is the location of Spigolo Fuili. | Theresa leading Spigolo Fuili (French 5b). | Alpine crags, a view looking back on Doloverre di Surtana after the climb. | Looking up at the main cliff at Cala Luna from the end of the beach. |
A Welsh mountain crag that really needs to be dry. Start can be located by the quatz vein that runs up directly under it and you go directly up the deep grove, don't get lost - I did and it was grim, around E13. Belays are OK but gear is a bit thin...

Long time no climb... well not on rock anyway.
Cornwall is loverly a Easter... the wind... the rain. It disaponted this time by being sunny and calm over all four days. The result was that we were forced to climb. A couple of sunset photos can be also found under sceanery.

The return of the parents.
We spent a good day on Bosigran which was only mared by the rush to get back to the car before the rain set in. In the rush a harness was left at the cliff top due to a mix up about who was taking what, where. We went back for it the next day but it had gone.
