DWS Climbing, Wied iz-Zurrieq, Malta, Sept 11th

Saturday afternoon traverse climbing above the warm water in Wied iz-Zurrieq near the Blue Grotto in Malta. Mostly very easy, with three harder sections that requires a bit more power and precision. If you fall, make sure to push off from the rock as it is very sharp like a cheese grinder. The whole lap usually takes me about 45 minutes.

It is relatively easy with only 2-3 cruxes but the real challenge is the razor-sharp handholds and being prepared to push-off the rock if you slip to avoid the cheese grinder experience..
