First trip 2014:Wye valley

Feeling blessed that we have good enough weather in March to get this princess out climbing! I've had the harder routes of the upper red dust wall of tintern quarry in my mind since last year- so took the opportunity to get on it with Paul. We must have been too excited to have missed the seven bridge, however we could still pride ourselves on being first at the crag- and making claim to the upper red dust wall for the day.

Even though it's been dry for a few days dust devil was pretty wet- but the dead vei (7a+) and man in tears (7b+) were fine- if a little blank at the top!

Could be Spain it's so sunny. Off route rock fall dodging made for the adventure climbing tintern is well known for...
