Cornwall Solstice Meet 2019 - 22/23rd June

What route?

Photos from the southern platform of Carn Barra:

And a photobombing @mikedlr at the BBQ.

@Haszko - we did Doorpost, Anvil Chorus and Paragon. I think the photos are the top of Doorpost . An excellent day out!

Yes indeed. Anyone do Bow Wall?

@khalidqasrawi and myself had a good look at it on Thursday but then it rained a bit and neither of us fancied the brutal looking first pitch. Went off to do Visions of Johanna instead (first pitch bold but not that hard, one for a steady head).

Mmm. Must have been able to climb in my youth. I did the 7th ascent, in 1969 I think it was. Wondered what people think of it these days.

@guyarnold thanks for setting up epic trip.

Generic climber below Bosigran (actually it’s @victorsolberg packing up after Doorpost.)

@Manchi parties

Victor, please put up the one with you on the arette.
