Pellitras Point

Poor choice for a crag location when its a howling South Easterly, so climbing was always going to be very iffy. But it was a good opportunity to have a mooch and explore the area in a bit more detail.

And the mooch of course turned into a solo adventure as Dave and I traversed the back of the headland. This included a sketchy crawl through a gap and some tenuous smearing and ledges. Good for the adrenaline and with added spice because of the wind.

Pellitras is a place to return to. There are a few parts to it, but the one we were looking at was the Buttress with two tough but great looking VS/HVS’s (Las Meninas and Facsimile). We’ll be back for these.

And finally we had the howling dogs, a good accompaniment to the wind for the walk back through the mud. They always make me giggle. All bark and no teeth.
