The Lav Trav

Decline of the Blog, views against time.

We're gonna turn this around! Get ready. It seems like content creators are doing vlogs more so than blogs - why? - recording equipment is readily available, and youtube has fantastic reach compared to other platforms. Well, rather than going with the times, I'll stick with the blog and see.

That said I do have a Youtube channel, like the icing on a fruit cake. Remember though, the cake itself is where it's at even if you don't like sultanas.


The Lav Trav is an obvious challenge at a nearby stretch of coast called Laverna. It's a line of flakey jugs at head height with small footholds. At low tide, the landing is really bad - probably an ankle - high tide would be an adventure! The jugs run out for the last two moves, so there's a small crux at the end... no more than 5.11 in USD, or about 7a french. It has been on my radar for around 4 years, so it's great to actually do it. Doing things is very important. The rock is lovely in the late afternoon.

More, Laverna has a load of low-balls to climb on.

Low ball, obligatory squint horizon
Low ball, top out training
If you count all the low balls, there's probably 25 problems here. Nothing hard, but.
