Countdown to departure and of course it's a beautiful, balmy day. On the cards for the day is a small crag called Marin, a stone's throw from Alicante. Marin has a nice range of technically easy multipitch routes and some great single pitch lines for the team to try. It was another day of firsts: personal bests on routes, multipitch leading etc, but the last day too, sigh. The last supper was at a wonderful french-run restaurant in Finestrat called OhLaLa - we couldn't recommend it more highly!
Melissa opts for leading a couple of multipitch routes with Dom.

Callum gives the tough 6a+ a go.
Euan nearing the top of the steep 6b.
Dom on her first 6a lead. She took a fair amount of 'air time'. Euan also managed this climb as a lead, and in fine style too - nice one Euan & Dom!
Douglas on the steep 6b.
Topping out on the second multipitch. And we're done.
After a quick dash in to the Orange House to dump & collect kit, we decide that the only right way to polish off our trip is a dash in to the sea in Benidorm. We were shivering before we even started!
Beautiful backdrop.
Beautiful backdrop? I guess so, if you like that sort of things. We got a few strange looks and side steps!
