My hangover and the early morning meant that I had little interest in going to another loose, scary crag. Instead I had grand plans to do some road biking and maybe go to the cinema. But No, my plans were scuppered when Tim, Helen and Neil came round and refused to take no for an answer. Thus I ended up being forced, against my will to hike up to Coffin Rock and do some climbing. Fortunately I could form good reasons as to why I shouldn’t be allowed to lead, and so I got away with a nice day of seconding. Seconding Neil was pretty stress-free, even if the climbing still felt hard at times. We climbed several routes up to 21, and most felt quite solid and had nice moves. The routes are predominantly trad climbs with the occasional bolts just for blank/hard sections.
The crag feels like it definitely has two halves to it, the bottom being generally more solid and less fractured than the top. Also the crag is quite large, on some of the routes a single 50m rope might not be long enough to abseil off the top bolts.
