Easter and my first Dumby trip!
Hi
everyone, I’ve had a great Easter Break, getting in some climbing and Bennybeg
and at Dumby.
It’s
our trip to Dumby I want to talk about today, Dad Scott and I went on Friday
where dad had arranged for us to climb with Willis Morris, The weather was
great and as we had got there at 11am it was pretty quiet with only about
another 8 or 9 people scattered about. I knew most of them by name or to see,
Robbie Phillips was there trying out “Rhapsody” with Euan from Finalcrux films
there to record his efforts.
We
started off with some boulders and I managed to top out on quite a few,
Scott was also able to able to top on a few.

We then moved on to some routes, I spent time working
on “Perceptions of vision” (7a+)
 |
| "Perceptions of Vision 7a+" with Euan on the static line behind me. |
while Scott worked on “First Moves”( _ ) a new
route Alan Cassidy had put up.
It was
pretty cool climbing the route as Euan was ascending up a static line he had
set up to film Robbie and he took some great photos me, Thanks Euan.

At
around 4:30 the TCA boulder squad arrived for their evening session and as
Willis had to back to work I joined them for some interesting boulders for a
couple of hours before heading home to see Mum who had been working away all
week.

My big
thanks goes out to Willis who took the time from his busy schedule to take us
out for the day, I had a wonderful time, ticked off a few boulders and worked
an amazing classic route, Scott had great fun bouldering and climbing and after
a discussion with others over the Hobbit and Lord of The Rings, played around
the rocks as if he was “Gollum”…… I am so psyched to go back outdoors soon.
