攀登 of Atlantic Wall

Big loose block at the start of pitch 1 -- which is a section of stacked detached blocks. Scary when it started to move. Guidebook gave this 4*, and Rainbow Crag 3* -- but we (Mike and I) both thought Rainbow Crag was better. Not just the couple places with loose blocks on this climb -- but also lots of scrambling on vegetated terrain.

Good fun, P1 more 15 Apparently grading incorrect in book. According to climbza: 'The description in the book says to climb the right side of the block but this leads up a very tricky off width crack. Climbing up the left side of the block is considerably easier.' P3 more 13.

Probably one of my first leads on trad. Thanks, Dave, for all your patience and for "showing me the ropes". It was great climbing all those routes whilst you chipped away at completing the guidebook. Too many to remember.
