Duntelchaig






Donald, Chuck, Guy and I went to Duntelchaig today. It was breezy and fine and the rock was dry and warm. Chuck and I climbed the VS Inaccessible Crack and then went back and strung its direct start together with Misty Crack to give a couple of good 5b pitches. From there we went along to Dracula Buttress where I pumped out on Balrog. Guy and Donald had also found this route quite sporting but had gone on to climb the Dracula the classic E3 on the crag and Frankenstein but Donald decied that discretion was the better part of valour and retreated from half way up the first pitch of another E3 (Vampire) deciding that it was a bit too mossy for his tastes!
