Ascents in Sparrow Slabs

So uh, that was an experience. I took a (personal best/worst) 10 metre fall.. Sliding down granite slab thankfully resulted in no serious injury to myself - I landed in the branches at the bottom. Run out and not clean at all. Most of the climbing experience involved cleaning off lichen and moss in order to allow for foot placements. While the bolts seemed to be placed in solid rock, a lot of the rock surrounding sounded hauntingly hollow. Nonetheless it was worth the trip out to Teneriffe, perhaps I'll come back for some better protected trad climbing another time. Some cool boulders nearby alongside some more interesting trad lines.

Good fun on good granite!

very enjoyable slab. Moss-coverd
