With the long light summer nights approaching, club members have been taking full advantage of the more clement weather conditions and have enjoyed trips to the local crags. As well as providing blog readers with a commentary of club activities, we aim to provide some literary variation. So, at the request of various club members (after a couple of pints in the Frigate last night...) the following post should be read as a shanty song, to the tune/rhythm of 'The drunken sailor.' Enjoy!
Stu deciding between 'All Quiet' and 'Waves', Romain on 'Big daddy'
The bottle-neck to get to the base of the crag
On Tuesday night we all went climbing,
It was warm and the sun was shining,
2nd trip of the year and we all were smiling,
At Deceptive wall.
Phil leading up (possibly) 'Fretted socket' and Yvonne just trying to get to the top!
12 of us in total made it down there,
The tide was out so we didn’t drown there,
The wind was low and the crag top views fair,
At Deceptive wall.
Romain and Cyril climbing some hard stuff
Romain and Cyril climbed some hard stuff,
Yvonne followed up and found it real tough,
Chis came next over the rock bluff,
At Deceptive Wall.
Stuart and Chris getting ready for another climb
Stu and Chris they climbed as a pair,
With Phil and Naomi, Jay and Blair,
Sarah came next warning Neil to take care,
At Deceptive wall.
Chris leading up 'Cormorant.'
Many routes achieved and the wall well conquered,
Sometimes skillfully but often blundered,
The sun went down and we all turned homeward,
At Deceptive wall.
The only way is up for the two Chris'
Romain, on belay.
