Avon Gorge - Sat 22/08/09

Was my first time at Sea Wall and Andy first trip to Avon. We only Climbed Gronk. Great 5 pitches route(4c,4b,4b,4c,4a). I found the first pitch the hardest (couple of hard move with not much gear). Pitch 2 was short but sweet. Pitch 3 was relatively easy technically but very expose with very little gear on the short traverse to join the Morpheous block. Very long and airy traverse on pitch 4 but plenty of gear(good cams). Pitch 5was very straightforward. Once at the top we realised we did not have any money for the ice-cream van, gutted! Will have to do it again.
