Deep water soloing in Dorset.

A crowd of us headed to Swanage for Gary’s birthday weekend and enjoyed some fantastic climbing on the cliffs at Conner Cove and Stair Hole. Troubled Waters, The Conger, Freeborn Man, Fathoms, The Maypole and Horny Little Devil were all climbed during the weekend. I was delighted with an ascent of The Conger after falling off a couple of years ago. Fathoms was an awesome climb with an exciting finish and I fell of Horny Little Devil just before the great no-hands kneebar rest. My camera battery died on arrival so thanks to Barra and Mike Robertson for the photos from the UKC gallery. I hope they don’t mind me showing them here!
