Wonderful Scottish rock climbing in the sun!

 We are enjoying the fine summer weather here and hoping that it continues. I was out this morning climbing  with Freya again, who has made amazing progress on sport and traditional climbing. We finished our day on 6b+. We are taking bookings for beginners rock climbing, transition from indoor gym climbing to the outdoors, sport and traditional climbing skills. As always we are open for private guiding, walking, climbing, mountaineering and ridge scrambles.

Comic Crag, rock climbing introductory rock climbing

 I had the good fortune to  instruct some rock climbing with Freya and Dave the other day at Comic Crag, after some instruction Freya impressively led her first rock climb...

Escape from the Cairngorm rain to a slightly dryer Stac Pollaidh

 Lovely day, rapid change of plans to relocate our days activity to the wonderful North West of Scotland.

Late winter climbing this spring time - Cairngorm National Park

 A wet start to the day here in the Cairngorms National Park. There is still lots of snow in the Northern Cories and skiers and handful of climbers were out enjoying the mountains today. We went to Coire an t Sneachda and had a good climb.

Coire An T Snechda, Winter Climbing - Cairngorm National Park

 The unseasonably cold weather seems to be coming to an end but there is still lots of snow in the coires of the Cairngorms. Today we climbed in Coire An T Snechda on Central Gully! The snow was softer with the occasional indication of some slight rock fall, but in general with care and consideration the lower graded gullies are quite climbable.

Self arrest practice.

There is plenty snow!

Topping out.
