Line Up Rannoch Wall





I've attached a couple of pictures from yesterday on Rannoch Wall where Andy Nelson, Andy Sharpe and I made a winter ascent of the HVS Line Up. Superb sustained climbing, not too sure of the grade but probably VII,8. Andy Nelson is definitely on form and dispatched the crux corner and roof very smoothly.

Climbing tomorrow so I'll let you know what we get up to.

Thanks for that Kenny.


Hi Alan,

I've spent the last couple of days wading around Torridon in some very deep snow. I could see that the ice lines on Liatach are formed and starting to fill out nicely specifically in Coire Dubh Beag and Coire Dubh Mor and that Triple Buttress on Beinn Eighe was getting a good coating of rime with the northerly winds. Approach times to the crags will be greater than the guide book suggests but the climbing looks like it might be worth it.

Thanks to Scott for this report and photos below.







The Aonach Mor climbers gondola will be open at 0800 other than Boxing day and New Years day when it will be on at 0900, all presuming that the weather behaves!! Apparently the climbing is pretty good too.

Beinn Udlaidh is pretty good by all accounts.
