I'm off to Avon gorge tomorrow with my lovely friend Metal, potentially on the first of a few visits. He's never been before and I've only done Malbogies and Krapp's Last Tape. Any recommendations particularly in the HVS to E4 range, preferably those with some gear?
That's a big grade range. Classic E3s are Think Pink and Ladder of Desire, at E2 there's Lich Gates, and at HVS Suspension Bridge Buttress is definitely the place to start.
I agree, the ramp would be a good place to start. Banshee, Them, Arms Race, New Horizons, and Mirage are all quality. Them looked a bit soggy yesterday, but the others seemed fine.
Hells gates, Earl of Perth, Limbo, Baby duck, The Lich, M1, M2, and the E2 at seawalls the name of which escapes me that goes up the main corner system in the centre of the crag...
In reply to mike lawrence: Maltravers is excellent. Bit light on gear on the first pitch but tons on the second. I love it. Pink wall traverse is good.
A bit delicate for a few moves but a great position and some monkeying around on the bars.
