Beinn Udlaidh is good

Friday, 12 February 2010




Hi Alan,
Was out climbing on Beinn Udlaidh with Dave Gardniner on Thursday.
The freeze was just the right level and my first time back in some time
We did West Gully, grade III, then South Gully of Black Buttress. A fine grade IV with a tough and steep finish on some brittle ice. This is a feature of many climbs just now.
Some very impressive ice Scenery on the hill, especially a fine ice cave high on West Gully, which two Welsh climbers used as a belay stance.

A word of warning to folk climbing below groups above...Some very big and solid chunks of brittle ice being dislodged and will hurt like hell if you get hit. Unfortunately I can testify to that!

EDDIE

Thanks very much Eddie for this useful report and photos.
