Climbing near Izmir, Turkey

By Jonathan. Our three month journey, which is taking us between the two capital cities of the Roman empire, is coming to a close. The general shape of our route was set by the start and end points, Rome and Istanbul, and the desire to see more of Sicily and climb on the island of … Continue reading Climbing near Izmir, Turkey →

Climbing in Kaynaklar – The Drama of Day 1

By Gaynor. We arrived in Izmir on the western coast of Turkey after 4 hours driving through the rain soaked country.  The entire west coast seemed to be under rain clouds on the day we traveled.   We are staying in Izmir to go climbing at Kaynaklar, a climbing area just to the east of Izmir … Continue reading Climbing in Kaynaklar – The Drama of Day 1 →

Sometimes it just has to be a picture of our cat!
Another lovely day at the crag yesterday, this time we went to Ahuy, a small quarry just outside Dijon. Not a very big crag, nor a classic crag, but it kept us entertained for the day.
After 3 months without climbing on rock we have just had 2 trips outside in the space of 3 days, it has been fantastic! The first day was at #Chambolle-musigny and today at #Fixin. It has been so good to get back on rock 😊
We are allowed out for 3 hours - woopee! So we headed over to the crags at Mont Rome and found a real sun trap, I arrived with 5 layers of clothes on and almost all were quickly discarded! It was so nice to be on proper rock again but now my fingers are really suffering!
There seems to be one consistent aspect to covid lockdowns in France ... gorgeous, warm, sunny days that are perfect for climbing! I am spending my afternoon planting spring bulbs around the fruit trees instead.
Had a great time at #bouilland today before the rain came in. The colour of the trees in the valley was beautiful, and Jon finally managed a clean ascent of his project route. I reckon the cool air gave him the edge, he reckons it was his new training regime! Perhaps a bit of both!
