It was back up into Lochain today with Guy and John to continue the mixed climbing bonanza. We had hoped to climb Central Grooves VII,7***, but there was already a team starting up it. We went for our second option of East Face Direct Direct VII,7***, which was outstanding.

John linked the first 2 pitches to make a good sustained pitch. Guy then did a awesome job leading up through the bold roof , and then the steep turf to the steep corner of the final pitch. That meant I had the easy pitch of the day, which was still a steep, sustained corner that was still VI,6/7. An awesome route.
Other teams were on the usual classic IV's and a Euro team climbed Unicorn. There has been a lot of snow blown into the corie, so take care if you are heading out.
