New Routing Shenanigans

No real climbing today I'm afraid, however some excellent adventures looking for new crags! And Crags we have found, woo! Three of them, high up on the hill side of  ****** (its a secret!) The two we viewed had excellent opportunities for some new routage. The first quarry, which I will codename 'Free Wales' so far looks like it will yield the most potential, being nearly 25 metres high and nearly as big as the Gap in length! Already the crew have picked out so many natural lines, that would easily go down with a good bolting session. The major problem with this crag is that upon closer inspection a Kestrel went a bit skitz at us; apparently she is nesting, Damn and blast! The other quarry, 'The Cunning Ugly Monkey' quarry was not as good, but still would yield a staggering amount of lines if it was developed, and it doesn't have a Kestrel! I think this area may be the one we finally develop! However this is still dependent on the whim of the land owner who through the grape vine sounds like a bit of a dick, hopefully we can have a chat and he might be okay about it, I certainly hope so!
