Back in 2006 Neil and Chris Doyle re-equipped the line. Chris then spent many days attempting it over the [...]

Posted By Steve Mc Clure the 2011-07-26 The first time I set eyes on Kjerag I knew I wanted to climb it. Perhaps the worlds most famous BASE jumping cliff, this 1000m vertical wall rising straight out from the sea was just asking to be climbed. In most cases dreams like this remain dreams, with logistics, finances and life in general standing firmly in the way, but this time I had my hand held. The Norwegians are such a friendly bunch, and on-it with their organising. As soon as I said I was keen all I

Posted By Steve Mc Clure the 2011-05-30 The Quarry Man This route is the stuff of legends! And climbed by the legend Johnny Dawes. Blasted into fame in the film Stone Monkey with a Zappa sound track that elevated the route above every other in the quarries. Even the simple name blatantly indicates that this isnt just another slab or wall. This is THE masterpiece, climbing out from the biggest hole via the biggest challenges. Ive wanted to try it for years, but its not something to casually walk up

On Wednesday night after work I headed up the Glen again to do some film with Kate Ezra, students in Documentary film making. I had agreed to do some climbing for a film they were doing about life around the Ben. So for scenery and a quality route we headed to Scimitar. I soloed the E4 there again which never fails to make me feel good!

Ice drips were freezing on our sacks so it was still well below freezing. Dave and Neil had to get back this afternoon, so we ran out of time to do anything else. Walked down past Devil's pastures which
