Cornish Easter Climbing

We've been blessed with great weather over Easter, so I went with the Marylebone Mountaineering Club on a trip to Cornwall. We camped out of a site near St Ives, and spent every day in a different location climbing huge cliffs with great views across the ocean. To top off the great weather, the tides worked in well with our climbing plans. Quite a few climbs are only accessible by abseiling into them at low tide, which coincided with about lunchtime each day over the easter break.

It's a litte bit intimidating when you're hanging on with your fingernails as the waves are crashing into the rocks right below, but it makes it even more exhilerating when you reach the top! We did quite a few multi-pitch climbs and rewarded ourselves with lots of nice Cornish pasties!

A few photos are in the Gallery.
