Hi Folks,

Anybody got any suggestions for routes which could be aid climbed around the Bristol area. Looking to get some practice.

Simon...

In reply to Simon Pelly: The climbs through the big roof at the left hand end of main area. There are two which are well bolted. Also Urangutang has a couple of moves.

In reply to Simon Pelly:

We were thinking of practicing some hauling and jugging at Sea Walls. Slabby start that rears up should recreate the trip to Sickle ledge... or so we think.

In reply to nick ingram:
Sounds like we have similar longer term plans

In reply to Simon Pelly: Also there are some routes that you can look on the Wave at Cheddar which provide a steep but clean aid ascent which can be backed up by bolts to get to grips with clean aiding in relative safety. Obviously no hooks, cam hooks and especially bolts or you will be hung drawn and quartered.

In reply to mike kann:

I hadn't thought of Cheddar. That's a great idea.

In reply to Simon Pelly:

We're off in Sept. You?

In reply to nick ingram:

Sept 2010

In reply to Simon Pelly:

I know it is not that near, but the Dewerstone in Devon has some good granite cracks which worked for me before a trip to the states.
