Limekilns

After a couple of short visits to Roysyth and Cambusbarron a full day out today for the bank holiday Monday!Simon, Estelle, Gerome and I all went to Limekilns for the day to have a look at some routes.


We climbed some VS 4c's on the Gellock Block and then I had a look at Elgins Crck E2 5c supposedly the best climb on the block!It went without to much drama a good climb and good gear to be found.


After lunch we visited the other section to have a look there. The block is a bit smaller but full of good routes. Some guys on the North face climbing the E4 in style while we stuck to another VS on the South side allowing us to set up a top rope rig for Estelle and Gerome to use.



On the West face there is another corner climb - New Gold Dream E2 5b which gets mixed reports on UKC(as do many things) I found it a good climb with the crux moves pushing the grade up for me. The technical moves around the peg runner much harder than anything on Elgins crack.


The day was superb in terms of weather and marks the true start of the rock season 2008.
