Looking for a post work climbing partner. I'm leading up to VS at the moment hoping to increase as summer progresses. Happy to second harder.

Hi Wendy,

What time is post work?

Aaron

I finish work at 5:30 and it's a 20 min cycle to the gorge.

That works for me, I can get to the gorge for around five mid-week I would say

I'm not local to Avon Gorge now, but I lived there for three years in the 70's. 1976 was the "year of the heatwave", and pre-chalk. Two of us (both teachers) used to meet below the main wall at about 7.00pm and have to wait till the rock cooled sufficiently to be climbable. Usually about 8.00pm. Before that, our hands sweated so much on the handholds that feet slipped straight off the same holds one move later. We'd then manage one route and head across the Downs to the pub by twilight. We managed just about all the starred VS's and HVS's in Drummond's guide - a great summer!

Hope you find someone to climb with.

Martin

How about one evening next week?
