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.
