Loch Awe - Pass of Brander

Monday, 11 January 2010

Hi Alan
I see the people in the photo on Eagle Falls Inverarnan. David Goldie and I climbed at the same time but on the R as did Mark Leyland Arrochar MRT and Charles. Pity the steep top icicle was so airiated and brittle. We approached via the watercourse which added a new dimension to 'mixed route' climbing frozen logs and traversing part frozen pools. Only one wet foot and a bit of spray.
Another low route in good nick is Lumberjack Falls in Pass of Brander Loch Awe. It will give 3 good pitches with access by canoe, boat or foot. Parking is just above Tervine farm on the Kilchrenan road with a walk in via the lochside or up to and over the bealach mor 400m east of the climb with a steep grassy/bracken slope to descend to the start. There are also a few other watercourses in close proximity that look like they would go. Even if a thaw starts the deep cold will not let the ice melt much or fast. Good New Year to you and Sue
Robert

Thanks Robert
