My first E10

I never climbed harder than E1 in trad, but yesterday I got my copy of Dave Flanagan's guide book and discovered that I climbed an E10 in 2004.

I had originally graded 6a what was possibly the first ascent of An Taobh Tuathail, but it looks like Dave thought the line was even more lunatic that Lán Mara  and Lag Mara.

Okay, it is a bit reachy, fair enough. But the landing is fine (at high tide that is).

An Taobh Tuathail

The tide was high during the evening last week so I decided to have my annual session in Bullock Harbour, the occasion to do some traditionnels deep water problems: Lan Mara, Lag Mara and my own little favorite, An Taobh Tuathail.
