Good days climbing yesterday with my bro and Lou :)

We did four climbs:
Morgan   VD *   
Ancientcy   VD *
Modernity   VD *
Keyhole Crack   VD *

We had one bit of good protection that was near the top of the climb and that was on Ancientcy. The rest of the climbs seemed to be pretty void of placements for the top half but the rock was good and the climbs weren't too hard.

Modernity



Lou bustin' some moves on Modernity


Keyhole Crack

Nice pictures guys. Looks fun.

Does the VD * stand for Very Difficult?

You ever able to go weekdays?

Yeah VD stands Very Difficult but it's the 3rd easiest. It would be a beginners grade. I'm always working during the week but i'm of the 12th week if ya fancy giving it a go then?

Sounds like a possibility, I'd enjoy that.

No gear, but I've be-layed with gri gri's quite alot before.
