Rock to the North

The mostly overcast but terribly hot and humid weather continued yesterday as we drove just five minutes out of Cala Gonone to its North end and then walked on a nice easy gravel road for half an hour to find the rock face we we wanted to spend the day at.
Lovely Rock
The final approach was - as so many around here - very very steep with lots of loose scree. Boo! Hate that. Especially when carrying ropes and other climbing gear. Drenched in sweat we finally arrived at the rock and the guides set up some routes.
Routes were really really nice with diverse styles and a few tricky bits to them so we had a lot of fun. Enjoyed it even more when a slight breeze set in cooling us all down.
Casualties
The walk back to our car didn't seem that long then and was very pleasant with some hazy views South as the sun vanished behind the hills to the West.
