Ice!

Yesterday was naff. It was wet, warm and everything was dripping so we didn't get anything done other than an afternoon at Scott Muirs new wall in Aviemore. I can recommend it as a wet weather alternative, there are lots of routes at lots of grades to suit all abilities.

Today was glorious and made the drive worthwhile. Pictures will go up on Monday but we had blue skies, cold weather and sunshine. Paddy and I climbed Red Gully in Sneachda II/III which was thin but doable and enjoyable! Belays were great and the ice was complete with the first pitch meriting the III. Paddy had to get off early so we had an enjoyable stroll down in the sunshine and an early finish.

Looking warm again tomorrow so off home!
