Just for Funsies

A few of us headed down to the Ice Factor for some dry plastic. We found we weren't the only ones to have had this plan. The Ice Factor has done a good job in changing their routes with lots of variety and good climbs. I hope they keep this up because I can't remember the last time they changed the routes there.
However Johann and I were the only ones to go and play at Inchtree Gorge afterwards. It was pretty high but a good giggle.

A Gentle Stroll

After finishing work today Anne and I headed for a walk in Glen Nevis. With the weather being so sunny it meant the water was actually warm which was a rare occurrence in the Glen.
Looking forward to some climbing tomorrow hoping it will be midge free!

Aonach Dubh

After looking at the clouds on Ben Nevis. We thought it might be a good idea to change plan and head down to Glen Coe. After starting late we warmed up on Weeping Wall Route (severe) then we headed up to Hesitation (HVS 5a**). The start of this is tricky to find but offered some cool situations on the second pitch.

Felt great to be on rock again.

Day Off!

I have been busy with work recently but I managed to have a day off when the weather was actually really nice. So Anne and I had pleasant wee paddle on Loch Eil.
