In reply to cider nut:
> That vid makes me want to go and climb at Stoney! There's two routes on my wishlist on that bit of crag (if it's the bit I think!). Luckily I have a trip planned there in the next couple of weeks - although with the intention of doing the three through route, not those routes. Not so keen on the music though, although it does put me in mind of busy little UKC people.
Music composed by busy little UKC person's daughter on Garage Band (not that I am letting this fact get me disproportionately offended by your comment).
We were amazed at how dry the crag was in the conditions. It was raining really heavily but there were still a few routes completely dry and several with just wetish finishes. The funny thing is that 25 years ago, before climbing walls, I used to know that Stoney was always dry.
