Climbing in Portland

We went climbing in Portland, at Blacknor Beach and Blacknor Southon the 7th May, it was right beside the sea which was beautiful.


We started out on the triple slabs, I did 1 of this climb, Mystical Gill which is a                       3+It was really embarrassing to start off with it because to get onto the rock was a very big step onto it. You needed a lot of arm strength to pull up too it and because I don't have much arm strength, Scott and James had to help me up. I had to stand on Scott's shoulder, but I was scared encase I broke it or something and then James pulled my other leg up. I think he did most of helping me up because I didn't want to hurt Scott's shoulder.

Then we moved on to another rocks called the fallen slab, I did two of these climbs, the Fallen Slab Arete which was a and Fallen Slab which was also a 3. I really liked these two climbs they were too challenging but not too easy either.  

It was a nice and sunny day so whilst you were climbing you got some time to catch the rays as well.

  1. Good work so far Paige, it is good you have included some specific detail, feelings, thoughts and learning points from the sessions. The pictures help to show what you have been doing too.
