Relaxing video-cool sounds. Nice work Stevo. I visited this area in December and the guys from the Malta Climbing club were very welcoming. Some of the crags I visited were embryonic compared to say Costa Blanca which made the climbing surprising and interesting. So if you're thinking of a hot rock venue this is a good time to visit with some cheap deals, very agreeable weather, a new guide book and an emerging scene. Not forgetting Gozo which I didn't visit but sounds immense and made the top ten list of lonely planet island destinations. Just watch out for the only 2 speed cameras on the island located at the end of a dual carriageway tunnel section guarding an inexplicable 35mph limit. They got me.
