Last day of the climbing expedition that I am leading today. The flight back to Manchester wasn't until later, so there was still time to pack in plenty of climbing action. After getting the camp packed away we opted to go to the big slab area of Poltrana - where we had climbed on our first day. The climbs are amazing and the walk-in only short; there was even some shade to climb in too!
If you look closely at the photo below, you can get a sense of the scale - there's a climber down there somewhere!
We climbed a handful of single pitch routes, then I finished by taking a few of the keen lads up to a higher ledge for a final panorama and big abseil. It was a great note to finish on.
Before driving out of Cala Gonone, we made sure we squeezed in one last cappuccino and gelato, while we did our final review of the expedition. All that was left then, was to load up and head to Olbia.
Unlike Clare's recent travel dramas, (two canceled flights from France and eventual arrival back in the UK but at the wrong airport!), we had a smooth transition across time zones and were greeted by John, our designated driver who very kindly took us all back on the late night drive to Wales.
