Trying to get fit for a sport climbing trip in April. Was feeling it in the morning after. On Friday headed out with Uni on one of are practical days. We where going to be working on the winter mountaineering skills. That the group had gone over the week before on Aonch Mor. We headed down to Glen Coe to go up Bauchaille.
