Category: Rubicon Wall

It’s probably heresy, but I prefer bouldering on Limestone rather than Grit, so with a forecast of possible showers, we headed down into the Wye Valley for a session on Rubicon Wall.

Although this set of crags was the focus of the bolted and pegged Sport Climbing revolution of the 1980s, it’s been pretty well taken over by boulderers looking for a sunny sheltered crag, which importantly is dry in even the heaviest downpour (unless the river bursts its bank)

The main wall sports an uber-classic warm up long traverse from L-R, with the rest of the crags characterised by problem starts to the classic sports routes.
