Málaga Navidad

 December 21-28

Flew out from the travails of Plague Island to the go-to Xmas getaway

¡Málaga!

On the descent to a happy landing passing over the magnificent edifices of El Chorro, some fantastic multi-pitch sport climbing to be had up there.  



A quick taxi ride and our gaff (bottom centre) is all set up in position A (small red square).


Looking straight out to sea



FAB!


First of many sally-forths


And some great sun downs


A night at the Zambomba!










Vikki is a year older!



Lunch at the Monroy for Vikki's Birthday








Coincides Christmas Day



¡Málaga! in the depths of mid-winter


This ain't no Darlo!


CT contrived to be in-town this week - hooked up for coffee and a spot  of lunch.

Shame about the drizzle!



After some pretty grim weather over Christmas, Boxing Day dawn was full of promise



That's more like it....

Tea shirts at ten o'clock!

No more puddles from now 'til fly back.



Another sally into the city, with the inevitable lunch








A look at the Teatro Cervantes in daytime





No trip would be complete without the Light Fantastic on the Lario




So-long Malagueta you showed us a great time

Weekly Wall

 19th November


Starting up again at Harrogate Wall.  Sessions as a three with CB and NB helping to get some good training in, generally quiet there even so making sure the door is open letting some air circulate.



A 6c+ project

Moments before a rattling fall.




This 6a+ route is proper hard with some tenuous foot work.
