Centurian and The Needle

Will and I have had a productive week ticking off a couple of ultra-classic rock climbs. The weather here in the highlands has been perfect for climbing and although thunder storms and heavy downpours have affected some areas, we seem to have avoided them all (which makes a pleasant change).

First on the list was Centurian (HVS 5a) on Ben Nevis:

Followed by The Needle (E1, 5b) on The Shelterstone in the Cairngorms:

I can only hope the weather holds a bit longer as I’m back on Ben Nevis this weekend.
