点评:I had a superb day with Iain on the cliffs at Cruit Island and a sea stack at Tor na Dhumcha. Iain was instantly friendly and full of chat. He set out a plan for the day that catered to my ability and wishes. I felt safe at all times during the day.
I did a series of top-rope climbs at Cruit, where Iain gradually increased the difficulty. He gave me some coaching early in the day on my footwork and assessing routes. This definitely helped with the later routes. It was the right level of enjoyment and challenge for me.
In the afternoon we travelled to Tor na Dhumcha, some sea stacks close to the shore in a lesser known area of west Donegal. Iain brought an inflatable boat down to the water and set it up. After a short paddle across, we scrambled up onto the stack. Iain set up anchors and lowered me down onto a platform at the base, with the waves just below me (which was exciting in itself). The climb of about 18m was challenging, but I pushed myself and Iain was very encouraging. After this, I did one more (shorter) climb on the stack and then we returned on the boat.
Iain was fantastic all day and I fully intend to return for another adventure with him. Highly recommended.

我在克鲁特岛进行了一系列顶绳攀爬,伊恩逐渐增加了难度。他一开始就指导我的脚步动作并评估路线。这对我之后的路线非常有帮助。对我来说,这段旅程的乐趣和挑战程度恰到好处。
下午,我们前往托尔纳杜姆查,这是位于多尼戈尔郡西部一个鲜为人知的地区,靠近海岸的几座海蚀柱。伊恩带着一艘充气船下水并架设好。划了一小段路后,我们爬上了海蚀柱。伊恩设置了锚点,并将我放到底部的一个平台上,海浪就在我的下方(这本身就很刺激)。大约18米的攀爬很有挑战性,但我还是努力了,Iain也给了我很大的鼓励。之后,我又在岩柱上爬了一次(更短),然后我们乘船返回。
Iain一整天都很棒,我非常想再和他一起冒险。强烈推荐。
