A chilly weekend in the Burren
KILDARE, IRELAND - Back from a chilly weekend in the Burren with N. Great time, and a much needed distraction before starting back into the workplace for the first time in a while (yawn, and no more comments on what the job is like!).
Still though, I did get down to the boulders of Doolin for some photos of the gang playing on some problems. One of the unusual benefits (or quirks) that Ireland has is that at the coastal climbing areas, the boulders get moved around ever year in the storms. Seriously, 3 meter tall boulders just end tens of meters away and upside down from where they were the year previously. Means for much entertainment after every winter as it's like entering a new playground again.
Anyway, Pierre and Nigel get all the glory with the photos. thoughts on how I can improve them?
Sorry we couldn't meet up man, glendo was fairly chilly also :)
ReplyDeleteNige's problem looks sweet!
yeah, pity it didn't work out to catch up!
ReplyDeleteheard it was frosty in Glendo :) Hear you were playing on the direct of Chillax also!
Didn't try Nige's thing, had been out doing routes (nothing above HVS as too cold for belayer, let alone the climber) so would only have been injuring myself....
Hi Neal,
ReplyDeleteto echo sentiments above, Nige's problem looks savage! Just back from glendo. Was the roof project you were talking about on the hidden groove boulder? The hole below looks like the one worthy of a palette alright! :) The roof I'm lookin at is further up in the scree to the right. Was up cleaning it today. Tis lovely but v.hard methinks!:)
Yep, that's the one Dave looked at (on Hidden Groove I think).
ReplyDeletehave fun with that one you're on - sounds fun!
