Hi All just got back from Glencoe where we climbed No 6 Gully on Aonach Dubh west face on plenty of good ice,a cracking route climbed on a good day (Saturday)if anyone decides to do it take the right hand exit its a shorter decent.

Myself,Pete & Chris had an eventful weekend in Scotland,we had to contend with all types of weather including snow.The aim was to do Squareface & Mitre ridge after topping out on the latter on Saturday we left Squareface for Sunday,I managed to get up the first pitch in slimey wet verglassed conditions but we decided to abb off for saftey reasons.After walking a couple of miles and cycling another ten miles with full packs we arrived at Tomintoul (Knackered). Squareface now goes onto the unfinished business list for next time. Cheers Mark

Had a brilliant wild camp on Thursday night, just off Wallna Scar road and luckily not too cold. On Friday afternoon Ben (UKC) joined me at Raven crag and I led my first HVS of the season Holly tree direct,Capella next then im back into E1 hopefully. Richard we could do with being able to up load photos onto our Blogs if that is posible, I got some brilliant sunset photos.
