New Route on Liathach

Gully 7Martin on the cruxYesterday was one of those special days in the Scottish mountains. I spent a perfect day climbing a new route in Coire na Caime on Liathach with Roger and Martin where we climbed a new mixed route straight up the buttress to the right of the ice line of Jerbil. Its yet to be named but has a particularly tricky 30m crux pitch at about VII, 7. We were treated to great company, perfect weather, a photogenic cloud inversion on the walk in, and an excellent climbing. A bit tired today though – I left home at 6, we didn’t stop all day, climbed the last 2 pitches and traversed the Am Fasarinen pinnacles in the dark and got back home at 1am. Excellent!!
