Just back from 3 fun days in Pembroke. It was not all sunshine like in the photos we also had plenty of rain and heavy showers. Monday evening was glorious and we had the crags to ourselves however it rained all night and did not stop till midday tuesday. In a rush to beat the incoming tide we made a hasty abseil at Trevellan. I just managed to leave the ground seconding the first pitch of Dinkum wall before the first waves crashed over where I had been belaying. By the time we had finished the route the incoming crashing sea had also claimed the end of our ab line and wrapped it around some boulders in the surf. Retrieval required a return to the crag at 10pm with an outgoing tide and a headtorch abseil descent followed by some wave dodging and a steep free hanging jumar back out once the line had been freed. Well it would not be a trip to pembroke without a bit of adventure would it?!
