Last week in quiet locations

Wednesday, 24 February 2010

Hello Alan and Sue
I see your photos and comments on Beinn Udlaidh, which caused a stir in numbers on Sunday. When I drove past there were 30 or so cars parked and lines of people heading up. We pulled into a layby further along and consulted the guidebook as I was not prepared to join the crowds. Went to look at Jimmy Dewars Icefall up Auch glen which was thick in its higher part but slight and delicate low down. Further up the track we found another icefall which gave a pleasant steep 4 pitch grade 4 to do. Only a few walkers going up and down the glen and stunning views of the mountains opposite. Monday saw me at Eas Anie again with a different person and the gold miners were in action with there drill rig and otherwise it was total peace and pristine climbing. It is lovely to have untouched ice streaming ahead of you and lovely and thick too.

Hope you are well and busy as I expect you will be.
Best regards Robert

Thanks for this report from Robert Kincaid. Good to see your leg is on the mend.
