Today Andy and I had the full Scottish winter experience on Boomer's Requiem V,5***. Another route that is high in the grade, with a very steep crux section. This is a route I had wanted to do for a while, so was pretty happy to tick it off today, despite the gale force gusts and drippy ice. Even though the temp had gone up a little today, the ice was like plastic and a joy to climb. We made good time up the route, then descended an extreme gale force Ledge Route to grab a brew in the hut and catch up with folks before walking back down.

One more day left of Andy's climbing course, but at least one more grade V in him I think!
It was a wet and wild one, so not sure if pics will turn out. Will at some once I've checked.
