Wet and windy day on Beinn a’Chrulasite today with the Falkirk High Tops team and Euan “Edinburgh Euan” Whittaker. We climbed Pink Rib, a fine Grade 1 rock-scramble, then on to the summit of this Corbett practicing navigation skills.

 Mostly a wet day with some real winds at times, although we got a view of the Buchy briefly.

Colder weather forecast later today, but no sign of it coming +13C in Edinburgh just now!

Have a look at Euan “Edinburgh Euan” Whittaker and Paul “Glasgow Paul” Warnock’s site: www.climbnow.co.uk

Andrew “The Count” Crooks set me this picture of the Aonach Eagach the weekend before last – looks in good “sporting” condition. Unsettled few days ahead, but a forecast of cold conditions next week. Don’t pack away those axes yet!

Mostly wet weekend -Andrew’s just off a course at Glenmore Lodge and has had a wild week in snow-holes and on expedition. Couldn’t face the gales and rain on the hills, so headed south today to Kyloe Crag for some climbing – excellent day on dry rock on Northumberland’s finest sand-bags!
