The Arch

Kevin Cooper and I introduced Harry Fogg to Portrane last Monday evening. We headed to the Arch sector where, as expected, Harry ran up most of the easy lines. Xmen remains unflashed, although Harry nearly got it footless on his first go. The rock was bone dry and the tide was completly out, which was prefect for trying the Arch (the line itself). But it seems that it will take me another couple of sessions this year.

New crag in Clare



Brilliant conditions last weekend in Clare.

Bit of exploration on saturday, new crag found.
Vertical limestone, about 20 meters high, facing south, some potential for bouldering
, but definetly more suitable for routes.
The place will remain secret for a while as a decision must be taken on wether or not it could be bolted.
