Hi everyone,

I will be going to Malta in October with a group of 20 guys, a mix of abilities and experience. There's going to be 3 of us leading groups and I would very much appreciate any advice anyone has to offer on locations that would provide good climbing at Severe and below climbing.

We'll be staying on Malta and probably won't venture onto Gozo unless there are some superb areas to visit.

Also if anyone knows of a 'Must See/Do' on Malta that advice would also be very appreciated.

Thanks, Paul

In reply to Al Evans: Thanks Al, I'll try them.

In reply to PJMuir:
I'd suggest Victoria lines.

In reply to Rich M: Yes Victoria Lines has easy access and some easy routes, if you are with newbys without confidence some of the sea cliffs would be daunting. However if you do go to Gozo I reccomend the slabs above the Inland Sea, something like a limestone Idwal Slabs.

In reply to jonny2vests: Cheers Jonny, that looks great! I'm sure there'll be a few that will love to try this!!

In reply to Al Evans & Rich M: thanks, I'll definetly look at Victoria lines. Al did you mean 'inland' slabs or is there a crag called idwal?

In reply to PJMuir: You're welcome to link up with us too! I would definitely also recommend Ghar Lapsi for climbs at that grade in addition to Victoria Lines. www.maltaclimbingclub.com

In reply to PJMuir: They are slabs above The Inland Sea on Gozo.

In reply to Al Evans:


They are a lot steeper than Idwal Slabs

In reply to PJMuir:
Do you mean from a climbing or tourist point of view?

If the latter Valletta and the Grand Harbour are a must.
