Clodgy Point
Undercut Wall Area

Problem 60 4a
Problem 63b 4b

Last week we were basking in temperatures in the teens with bright sunshine. Today it was 5 degrees, windy and snowing at times. Clodgy is about 10-15 mins pleasant walk from the beach. If it had been warmer it would have been a bit more friendly, but it was brooding with dark snow squalls passing by off the coast.

Joe was recovering from a bad back so this was never intended to be a full on session – more of a scouting mission. On arrival we dropped down to the Undercut Wall Area which was a bit more sheltered. I had a go on a couple of nice short routes, although the slab 0n 63b feels high up. It snowed during both which was strange, especially in Cornwall.

There is so much climbing around this area its unbeleivable. Route after route. I played on a 6a traverse but ultimately I was not strong enough. With a bit more effort I think I could complete it so I’ll be on this one again. Joe and i have earmarked this as an after work venue for the Spring. A good place to beef up the muscles, but good fun too.
