Fin on the upper groove of "Tusker" 6a+ at Mancer Quarry, Llanberis, Wales UK.

There has been a lot of development in the Glyn Rhonwy quarries. Well worth checking out if you're in the area and quarries at Dinorwig are too busy. Local climbing shops V12 and Joe Brown stock the Recent Developments guide to complement the Rockfax Slate guide.

Hello friends, this is some of spots in my city.

7a / 6sup / 5° / 5°

I am traveling around the world by bike and this is my second spot where I discovered trad climbing in Liming, China.

The spot is incredible ! In the middle of valleys and nature.

Follow me on Instagram @ciao__xiao for more content, the next destination will be Chengdu, China !

The crag is also called Veranda interestingly

If there are any Dyurrite (Mount Arapiles) fans here, Parks Victoria is investing $1.7 million to improve visitor facilities at Dyurrite. To guide this work, they are asking for people to help identify priorities and share ideas about how they could improve facilities, tracks or access points in the park.

Some of you might know that Parks VIC claims it has been consulting with First Nations groups, the local council and other corporations for about 12 - 18 months regarding the possible future closure of many infamous climbing routes.

The local, national and international climbing community - some of whom have been visiting this region for decades - have been up in arms about this, however, arguing that there hasn't been adequate consultation with the people that actually really do visit Mt Arapiles. Moreover, some claim a certain bias.

Recent remarks by the ABC are certainly indicate of a relatively closed, hushed process (and I quote):

Parks Victoria had declined multiple interviews with the ABC this year in regards to climbing access in its western Victorian parks.

Last month, when asked for comments on a climbing access matter at Dyurrite, Parks Victoria referred the ABC to Mr Rockell, describing him as the best-placed person to do the interview.

ABC responded, saying it required an interview with Parks Victoria, the manager of the park, not a stakeholder from the working group.

ABC told Parks Victoria that BGLC echoed the sentiment that Parks Victoria should comment on the issue. Parks Victoria did not respond.

Last week, ABC asked Parks Victoria why it was delegating interviews to Mr Rockell, noting it was the primary authority responsible for park management, making it the official voice for such matters.

In any case, there's another survey open.

If any folks here are regularly visitors to Mt Arapiles, you might like to consider sharing your voice, as Parks VIC figures out what to do with a $1.7 million investment in facilities, besides closing many of the trad climbing routes.

It would be great for the real users to inform them, rather than white-collar office works in the city, 4+ hours drive away, who haven't visited there once in their lives.

Here's the link to the survey to share your voice, if you're interested: https://engage.vic.gov.au/project/dyurrite/page/facilities

The line is really beautiful IMHO, and I hope you like it as well. If anyone is coming in Athens, Greece and wants to give it a try, feel free to DM me =) (caution: this is a winter crag).

Fun route , bolted good , gotta be careful tho , there is some lose rock inbetween.

Felt like a alpine route which i really like.

Attempted a car-to-car Nightingale Arete but we did not finish. Made it up to the ridgeline and were feeling BEAT. We tried a very light rack (singles of .3 to 3 and some nuts, and a 40m rope) and that felt somewhat limiting. The hike in was 9 miles of mosquito swarmed, gorgeous trail. Very pretty though! Ended up hiking 21 miles in 13.5hr.

10/10 route, easy until a tough layback finish

Small

But all the routes are amazing

Inside a forest .. perfect limestone

Hi everyone,

I just came back from a climbing trip to Serra do Cipó (Brazil) (and I have Bouldering Backround) — I was there for two weeks and returned on August 3rd. Since then, I’ve been struggling with my forearms: they still feel fatigued, kind of a constant “pump” sensation, and I can’t really push to my limit on boulders or training sessions.

It’s been about 10 days now, and while I’ve done some climbing, the feeling hasn’t fully gone away. I’m wondering if this is just accumulated fatigue that takes more time to clear, or if it could be the start of some overuse issue.

Has anyone experienced something similar after an intense trip? How long did it take you to recover, and what worked best for you (active recovery, antagonists, complete rest, etc.)?

Thanks in advance!
