When we started talking about this trip a while ago, we had some ideas of where we'd like to visit, sport climbing in Malta wasn't on that list. Fortunately at the the time of booking flights, return dates after Nov 1st were a little awkward (for some reason!) and so Malta came onto our radar... some really good venues and the quality of the rock was immaculate, just a shame we had some challenging weather, but we made the most of it....and they produce some nice nice wine!
