| 9th April 2010 - Manse Barn, Onich A surprisingly poorly attended meet, given the great weather forecast. However, those who turned up had a great time. On Saturday, Andy went for a big walk in the Mamores, including a new Munro, Sgurr Eilde Mor. Not that he's counting though. Really. Colin, Rab, Grant & Ken went rock climbing in Glen Nevis. In the sun. With no midgies. A rare and pleasant experience ! They ended up doing something of a tour of the various buttresses. Rab & Grant started off on Pandora (S), then Spike Wall (S). Colin & Ken did Spike Wall (S), and then Bullet (S). Some excitement, when Colin dropped Ken's camera the whole way down this route. Amazingly, it bounced in the 2 patches of soft grass, and landed at the bottom intact. Lucky. All 4 joined up for an ascent of Autobahnausfart (VS 4b). Grant putting in a good effort getting over the second overlap with Colin & Ken taking photos & generally putting him off ! Rab & Andy headed home on Saturday night. So on Sunday, Ken, Colin & Grant returned to Polldubh for one last route, Pine Wall (HS). The sun was so warm, some improvised anti-sun measures had to be taken. Colin finished the short day off with a solo of Pinnacle Ridge (S). Click here for the pictures |
