Latest going’s on at Dumbarton

June 3rd, 2010

Lots of people have been down at Dumby lately and quite a lot of stuff going down despite the surprisingly un-Scottish rise in temperature of late.

 

A couple of weeks ago Ross Henighen made the second ascent of Endurance, 8a which was only very recently established by Will Atkinson.

 

The latest addition to the bouldering at Dumbarton, Glasgow Kiss, 7c+, has seen a couple of quick repeats from Andy Shanks and Mike Lee. Malky, and its new variations have now become problems of choice recently with repeats approaching double figures on a problem that, until being cleaned up, had possibly only seen two or three ascents ever.

 

A quick update wouldn’t be complete without a few more ascents of Sabotage, with Stuart Lyle and Dave Redpath both getting their way to the top.

 

Will Atkinson has started his ground-up ascent of Requiem this evening and going on tonights performance in awful conditions (really hot) it shouldn’t be too long before he’s topping out. Here’s a photo I took of him on it. Click the photo to view it full size.

    Thanks! Nope, shoulders are still a bit un-happy. I’ve had a couple pulls on Malky but it’s a lot harder when you’re of a certain height like myself!!
