Rob & I went to Dartmoor for the weekend. Yeah! Climbing! Fun! Fear! Falling off!

I soloed Letterbox Wall twice, but Rob kindly neglected to take a picture of me either time.

Highlights:

  • Borrowing Stephen Venables’ climbing guide all weekend.
  • Showing off to tourists by not using a rope (and living!).
  • Incredible sun, sunset, starry night, & sunrise. GO WEATHER!

Lowlights:

  • Mr. Venables could consider updating his guidebook collection.
  • A big fall for Rob that could have gone much, much worse (scary!)
  • Cripplingly sunburnt lips.

Overall: more fun than Portland!
