Good couple of weeks climbing with
Craig.
Raeburn’s Ordinary Route Hand (IV 4) is far from ordinary and is a favourite of ours, we
went left from the second belay to make the route even better.
Curved Ridge (III 3) was in good but powder snow cover.
Shelf Route (IV 6) (bailed) due to the amount of snow and lack of good
placements en-route.
Chockstone Gully (II) suited the high winds and avalanche forecast being low
down on the Cobbler.
Original Summer (IV 6) in the Cairngorms, Dan came along to make it a
rather sociable day out.
McLay’s Crack (III 4) on the Cobbler got another visit on a better than
forecast day that happened to be my Birthday so Craig carried the rack in and
out!
Crowberry Gully (IV 4) in fat easy conditions with views to America
from the top.
Italian Right Hand (IV 4) great but short route on a very windy day.
