Bullocked...

...on the weekend. Nice low water, did the usuals mostly, looked at moving right from the foot of lan mara, nice jug rail which turns into a slopey break and then a finger crack. Wetsuit probably a good idea.

Knocknagun on thursday

Trekked up knocknagun for an explore. Started at small coillte gateway close to glencree and took ish straightline route, the value of which is debatable. Met mass rocks first, the granite is very three rock in nature. On the left boulder was a small lovely concave slab with an intriguing straight line, no holds just very fine friction. Got leg over trhs of slab but direct woul dbe nicer. The right boulde yielded a coupleo f lines also, a high face with very distinct holds over a landing that dropped away. The k'gun tors themselves were more elaborate shapes than 3 rock but very similar in style. Some nice little traverses and very short almost eliminates. Wasn't feeling it generally more to do with being out of climbing shape than the venue.

Went to Glenmalure in the pissings of rain. Showed dave around. Next time i go i want to start ticking in earnest.


Went up 3 rock on thursday, warm weather but friction was still very good. Managed the centre line from standing which was surprising considering the weather. Mostly pottered and tour guided for Mark.
