Centraltastic


Today Colm and Dave took on the sharp end in winter for the first time. We started up Central Gully then cut left onto the rib after the second pitch. This gave us some great mixed ground to cover at grade I/II. At the top of Central Gully Left hand there is a great ice pitch that ranges from Tech II-IV. We switched around went in series for a pitch to climb some steeper ground. The ice was good but thin, which meant that protection was poor (1 half in screw). Colm and Dave then Led to the top.


Miriam and Ronan made an ascent of Crotched Gully with Matt leading the way. They finshed the day by walking over Cairngorm.
