Keep The Faith




We arrived at the relatively unknown bouldering location of Rousse armed with a stack of bouldering mats taller than Luke. The aim, to establish some more problems and to hopefully tick off a hard project which had beaten Chris, Nathan and myself last year.


After a quick warm up on some of the easier problems Nathan and I started to work the project and it wasn’t long before we’d done all the moves but could we link them together? The answer was yes! We named this large overhanging rounded arĂȘte “Keep the Faith”.


The group’s attention then turned to finding some new lines. Amongst these was a text box introduction to lay backing and quality area with a number of sit starts of varying difficulties.


One thing is for sure… we’ve only scratched the surface!

East coast scramble

Second scramble of the year was route 45 reversed - Bathing pools to Fermain. A 0.5m low water made it pretty simple, and as you can see, Andy enjoyed the afternoon even if he did get a bit damp!
