Zeppelin, pitch 5
El ChorroAbout a month late, but never mind. Nice trip to El Chorro, plenty of mileage, some harder routes, and plenty of relaxing due to a wet last couple of days.
And a fairly big epic on Zeppelin, an 11 pitch F6c+, which would have been fine if the hail/snow and rain had started at the top rather than with 5 pitches to go.. Much aid and shivering ensued..

Huge caves
Looking back to the lower gorge
Huge caves and the line of Zeppelin
Awesome bouldering cave
Wet day bouldering
Me on Pome del Roca, great steep tufa route

Aiding the crux pitch, looking down
Gaz leads up one of the easier run out pitches, still about HVS
Tom coming up pitch 5/6? Before the rain, anyway
Baltic.. top of pitch 6/7?
Top of Zeppelin, finally..
Glad to be alive after Zeppelin
