  David H. asked:

  Dear all, We're hoping to visit in mid June for some climbing fun in the sun. We're mainly into bouldering/sport/DWS (too pussy for trad...). Is bringing bouldering mats with us worth the flight fees? Alternative hire options available? We're planning to visit Wied Babu, Ghar Lapsi, Gozo, Mgarr Ix Xini and Harq il-Hamiem. We lead in the region of 6b-7b. All advice and recommendations regarding guidebooks/ resources (before or after we get there)/ means of supporting the local scene/ local climbing shops and good restaurants are most appreciated. Thanks in advance. We're very excited!

  Hi David, Let's start from the top - leave the boulder mats at home and hire them from GoclimbMalta (Dino Citrone) You've got a great list of crags - I'd add in Red Wall on the Blue Grotto promontory, very close to Wied Babu (late afernoon, a few hours before sunset) and Sopu Tower in Gozo (also an afternoon crag, should be in the shade from 2:00 onwards) For sport climbing get the 2013 Sport Climbing in Malta & Gozo guide - you can buy it online, at the airport when you land or from the club when you get here (and support the local bolting scene too). A donation to the MCC Bolt fund is always welcome ;) http://www.maltaclimbingclub.com/bolt-fund/
