Stob Coire Sgriodain & Chno Dearg. Climbed with Brother Spud on a reasonable day, snow above 750m and strong winds. Made the ascent using the most 'interesting' lines and enjoyed good chat for the entire day.ground was tricky in bits of the descent due to hidden ice under grass, but generally a good day was had by all. Brother Spud reports that my new gloves worked brilliantly!

Climbed with Brother Goldie on a very windy day in Dec. BG tried out his new boots and I forgot my new gloves which would have been lovely I'm sure! Stayed protected from the wind in the valley until reaching the col at the top and the walk across the plateau to Beinn nan Aighenan was mighty windy. Got blasted by hail on the summit- it was stinging through my clothes! Good day out though.

Buddies: solo
Meaning:
Yellow hill
Height:
948
metres
Time: 6.0 hrs |
|
Climbed solo on a beautiful day (after a deluge of rain), though still a lot of cloud to walk through. I underestimated this hill thinking it would be a straightforward plod up and down, but it had lots of nice little parts to it. Unfortunately Ali couldn't come as her feet were still buggered but it proved a good walk all the same.

Bombed up this one soloas I just wanted to get up and back as quickly as possible. No views to speak of. This looked like the kind of hill that would be beautiful with amazing views insunny weather and I look forward to coming back with Ali and taking my time over it one sunny day.

Climbed solo on a lovely cold day in Dec. Temp was warm on the way up and was glad to stop and chat to a very nice bloke who told me that not only did i have to climb the same again to reach the summit, but that it was absolutely baltic up top. Great. Got higher and everything was coverd in a layer of ice- very slippy. He was right about the temp though!

A' Bhuidheanach Beag & Carn na Caim. Climbed solo on a reasonably ok day- no rain to speak of. Walking in cloud mad some of the navigation difficult, but generally there was a path to follow. Not a massively interesting day out, only made more interesting by the fact that the woman in the garages tale of getting barred from the local hostelry!?!
