The Baths,

Virgin Gorda

The Baths in Virgin Gorda, one of the

British Virgin Islands, are an impressive

natural wonder and unlike anything

else in the Caribbean. It is without a

doubt the perfect place to relive my

favourite childhood pastime of climbing

any and everything. It’s a natural

playground, characteristically volcanic,

and with many attractions scattered

between Devil’s Bay and Spring Bay.

These gigantic granite boulders are a

prime spot for bouldering, a style of free

climbing without ropes. The unique and

complex formations possess a variety of

challenging and technical routes I would

like to try. These routes are found in the

hidden caverns, grottoes, tunnels, and

overhanging arches, with more being

discovered yearly. It’s always a plus

when you’re surrounded by soft white

sand and refreshing tide pools to gently

catch you if you fall, and you can easily

transition from tough climb to relaxing

swim if you so please.
