Coire an Lochan -Deep Throat





Jon and I climbed this good climb today. "Deep Throat" was first climbed by Rab Anderson, Tom Prentice and Rob Milne back in December1989. It's a two star Grade V,6. The line starts up a wide crack and through some overhangs. It has since been climbed in summer by Andy Nisbet, Neil Ritchie and Miss H Mendrum( Hamish)!I think they did it in July 1990.
It's been a superb day here in the Cairngorms, with hardly a breath of wind. Warmer temperatures are forecast to arrive, but not for long and snow should fall by Tuesday if not earlier.
There must have been around 45 people climbing in the Lochan today, all climbing , some on very technical routes.
