Yesterday Mhairi, Andy, Stuart and I headed up to Pass Of Ballater for some more granite trad action in the sun. Everyone got a bunch of routes done, including Stuart who did his first HVS which was also his 3rd trad route lead. Not a bad way to start his summer.
Mhairi and Andy also had a good day, Mhairi did the classic E2 “Anger and Lust” and Andy put on a good show doing the tricky E2 6a “High Steppa” (photo).
I had a good day doing lots of routes, the highlights were “Crumbling Dice” E2 5c and “Cold Rage” E4 6a.
It has been awesome being able to get out everyday for the past 10 days whether it has been on my road bike, running or climbing due to the good weather. Lets hope it continues for the summer.
