Thursday was a bit of a lazy day where we bumbled around Newkey watching people getting wet on the beach as the tide came in. Newkey airport is no where near Newkey or even signed unless you approach it on the A30; it was here we picked up a friend from Cork who was then forced into climbing 30 minutes after landing. The venue was just outside the small village of Roche where there is a small crag topped with an old chapel and contains a number of interesting routes.
Friday we visited St. Loy which is a great crag easily accessed from the coast path and high above the sea. This makes it great for anyone who doesn't like the sea cliff exposure. There are about 15 worthwhile routes on the main crag from VDiff - E4. Nick lead the tick of the day a E1 5b,5c aptly named The Hairiest.
Saturday saw the chaos of Penzance and the Maisey Day parade. I first saw it 2 years ago and enjoyed it, however returning this year nothing has changed and I'm sure that there were fewer large beasts being carried by the parade. The late afternoon was spent bouldering on the edges of Porthcurno beach. The problems are what you make of them, but nothing really would exceed V4.
The aim is to post photos of all the weeks climbing tomorrow night as I can't do it without a real PC.
