Lovely Day out West

Monday, 10 March 2008

Plenty of snow on the hills and not too much wind. I'm still having problems uploading images to the blog. Is anyone else experiencing similar issues?

Hi Alan,

Yesterday Adam and I did Stirling Bomber (V,7) in Sneachda. Great and
very well protected climbing with a wild crux swing out of the corner at
the top. As close to mixed sport climbing as it gets!

The forecast is looking wintry until after Easter.

Alan,

Cairngorms was the place to be on Sunday! Climbed Route major (IV,5) on Carn Etchachan on good neve and frozen turf (but no ice) in windy but excellent conditions with patches of sunshine and just a few snow flurries. Loch Avon basin was otherwise completely empty of people, although plenty to go for on Carn Etchachan and Shelterstone. Hell’s Lum is just full of snow, as is Castlegates Gully; keep away from both!
