In reply to Martin McKenna - Rockfax:

Well, there were perhaps a few that were not ideal days, yeah
And tbh it has been a few years since I was at any of the big crags, I keep being on holiday in Europe during the summer and otherwise being seduced by the short walk-ins of single-pitch places! So maybe the mountain crags have gotten busier along with the general popularity of climbing in my absence.
Even single-pitch places are pretty deserted excepting the small number of most famous places like Reiff and Sheigra.
