A quick blast rock climbing at Wintours Leap in the Wye Valley today. A little mission to tick a few routes that I’ve not done before which is always good fun, not very stared routes and not on most peoples tick lists but the crag classics I’ve done before.
We started with Original Route – VD – no star – two pitches. This route was shit and i will not do it again with anyone so say away Wintours Leap climbers.
Next we did John’s Route – HS – one star – two pitches. A good route seemed about the same grade as the VD but on good rough rock and worthy of its star.
Next we did Grey Wall – VS 5a – one star – a good route i thought with good gear and fun moves. Good one for people to push themselves on.
Last we did Black Wall – HVS 5a – One star – I thought this was one of the best routes of its grade at Wintours Leap. Steep, good gear, good holds – although maybe a touch crumbly but i like that. What a great route, will put everyone i can on this bad boy – superb.
Lets go rock climbing at Wintours Leap – get in touch.
