Good Day On Black Rocks |
| Date: Sunday 23/09/12 Submitted by: Evelyn O'Brien Another highly enjoyable day out at Malin Head with Alan. We started off with some great scrambling and Alan showed me Razorbill - a fabulous looking line recently put up by Alan and Marty. Unfortunately waves were crashing about 1/3 of the way up this so, another time. After this we did an easy but pleasant Diff; don't know whether Alan will bother recording this or not. I spotted an interesting (but short) looking line up a little unclimbed crag and it turned out to be well worth doing: quite steep and technical. About Hard Severe, we thought. Alfie, your opinion would be appreciated. We finished off on Laurentic, a superb and long single pitch Severe. A joy to climb. As Margaret was at home, dutifully cooking dinner (thanks Mags, delicious), Alan gave me a quick seeing-to on the cliff top: a perfect way to end a splendid day. 26 Sep 2012 It was Marty wot led Razorbill. Would like to do it from the bottom, but time is running out this year I fear. 27 Sep 2012 Favourable comment for Laurentic in the guide perchance? |

You must be a favoured person for sure, I've climbed a fair bit with Alan and it never went beyond tongues!
