Hilda leading the top pitch of Twisted Rib

Barry, Hilda and I spent an evening at Dunkeld last night looking at leading routes. We climbed Twisted Rib which we broke down into three pitches and then we looked at abseiling. Barry then led a fine severe and we had to call it a night as it was dark by 8.30.

Stuart, Lee and I had a top weekend in Borrowdale ticking Lakeland classics – Crovus, Corax, Little Chamonix, Ardus and Fisher’s Folly. Not one route under two stars!

Steph and Lizzie are away to do their mountain leader assesment next week and wanted to go over some security on steep ground. We went up to Caerketton Hill in the Pentlands to practice rope work and anchor selection, and also have a quick review of their navigation. Good luck for next week!
