portrane

headed to portrane early, starting journey in sun and ending in the distant mists of donabate. We skipped quickly past the main areas due to seepage and gashness, played a bit in pirates cove, not really psyched by it myself but then down to the pit which appears to me to be the best climbing in the whole place ( alley was damp but having been there before i don't remember it being that good.) A couple of very distinct lines on lovely slopey bulgey rock and a lovely traverse problem and they all had top outs, a rarity here. A lovely local little training wall if it was local. bray beat me on a traverse, back under my rock i go. went back to ground zero but was entirely uninspired by the multi featured, arbitrary finish climbing so we skimmed stones and tossed the caber. a good day. also starring bray, dec and davo.

climbing in portrane is beasting. in future will probably skip to alley and pit.
