I headed back to Creag Meagaidh today to climb Smith’s Gully (VI,5) with Ali and Pat. Smith’s Gully is well worth its 4 star status being sustained and challenging for its 180m length. It was another excellent day with blue skies and no wind. There was only a dusting of new snow which, by all accounts is a lot less than most other parts of the highlands.

I have just had 2 superb days climbing at Creag Meagaidh which is in good condition. Quite a few folk have been climbing there recently but its a big venue with a lot of quality routes so don’t be put off by a full car park. It still pays to be early at the weekend to get pick of the routes.
On Saturday I climbed South Post Direct (V,4) with Bill and yesterday Pat joined me to climb Centre Post Direct (V,5). The crux ice pitch on Centre Post is a serious undertaking at the moment being long, steep and sustained to a peg belay (not in situ).
