I liked that a lot, thanks for sharing. Kilnsey best crag in the UK, difficult to argue against but makes me wonder if he's been to Malham and what he thought of that.

Classic opening scene.

Pero lo que ha hecho en gres ?

In reply to Mark Collins:


I can imagine he might have been to Malham but still preferred Kilnsey. I love both but Malham is a bit fickle conditions-wise (the number of days I have spent there waiting for the shade to roll around the catwalk....). And, even the classics have some horribly unpleasant holds. Kilnsey is a bit more straight-forward in terms of style and suitability whatever the weather (once it dries out).

That said, I like Jose's comment about Kilnsey - "sometimes it is wet apparently" - I suspect he has been pretty lucky with his days there!

Personally, I do think you have had the full Kilnsey experience until a red-point has been thwarted after all the hard climbing by a hold falling off.
