Duncan's Cove

The second night of the series brought a hugh crowd. It's great to see a lot of new climbers getting a rock fix, and to see some experienced ones out there too.

I myself have only been to the Duncan's Cove area once before. Definatly a good spot for stuff V3 and under.

The Robar boulder was moved a few years back so there are fresh new lines on it. One of them may have been just put up. It's the right arete as you first walk up to the boulders. Sean T doesn't think it's been done, but maybe it has. I started it from the large crack, sitting on the ledge. Go up and over slapping on the slopey right hand. I think it's possible to do starting way at the bottom on the large flat ledge, but that's definatly much harder.

Also, Sean showed me the Rasberry Jam Crack area. He said that the face had never been done. It's a slightly overhanging face, where a fall puts you on a slipery ledge, leading into the ocean. Scarey, yeah I'd say. The waves were literally crashing at our ankles... and for some, a little even shower was had. Anyway, after some har pulling I finally figure it out, throwing to what we thought was a big ledge - well it is, it's just slopey - I managed to pull off the send. I'll give it the name of "Bring your own Peanut Butter". If someone else has already done it let me know! It climbs maybe a V5, but it's the scare factor that gets you.
