It's only a tiny crag, but was just what we needed this afternoon - a quick climbing hit before the forecast storms arrived! Only a few minutes drive from the apartment and with a walk in time of about sixty seconds, it was hard to fault! Given the showery weather today, on first impressions the crag looked uninspiringly soaking wet and mossy. But on closer inspection, the rock was actually warm and dry! It's just a different (very dark conglomerate) to the normal dolomitic limestone around here.
After despatching the classic route, under darkening skies, we went for a second as the first rain drops started to fall.
The steepness of the crag meant we got away with it, but a storm was surely close by!
The crag is in a beautiful little spot by the river, so we took a short walk and made it just back to the van and then the apartment before things really 'kicked off'. Watching here from the comfort of our balcony, it's raining torrentially and lighting bolts are flickering very close by! Exciting stuff!
