Wild Day

So again head over east to get out climbing in Cairngorms with Ewan and Will. As alway the planed change from climbing to walking/climbing. As the wind was blowin' a hooley!!!. We decided to head up Fiacaill Ridge and them see how it was on the tops. On the way in we could see that the rain had done the day before making some crags looking a bit black. On the ridge was fun with the gusts of wind making the walking interesting. The climbing was great we picked are own was up bit. Getting to the top was wind but not was much as we thought it might have been. We chose to head down back Choire Chais as it would keep the wind and snow to are backs. Good if a bit wild day had. Nice to be getting back into things.

How are thing looking?

First winter day

Had a great day out with Brodie. Head over east to Caringorm. Was going to head in to do Hidden Chimney but thought it was looking a bit black. So changed plans to head to Coire an Lochain and see what was there to do. Looking at Sidewinder but did not like the look of the snow below the climb. So end up on Iron Butterfly. The climbing a good fun and the tuff are nice a frozen. There was one wee cruxy. People where on Savage Slit and I think Prore or Fallout Corner. After the climb we head back on the into Coire an t'Sneachda for the walk of and come done some good hard snow. The anlke feet good for most of the day a got a bit painful on the walk out of the Coire but feel pretty good today. A good start to the winter hope there is more like this.
