The last month has definitely been the best start to a winter season since I've been climbing. It's still only November and we're already onto our third cold spell, no doubt we'll pay for it come January...
In the spirit of peversity I decided not to go climbing at the weekend but instead went to the Kendal Mountain Film Festival, except I didn't see any films. It was a bit of lost couple of days, mainly spent in the pub. To make up for it, Duncan and I got up bleary eyed on Monday morning and went for a wander in the Southern Highlands. after deciding that Arrochar wasn't in we ended up at the old faithful Beinn an Dothaidh. The main buttress was looking a bit black so wed did a IV/5 on the lower cliff - Circean. A bit of one pitch pitch wonder but a good one at that. A steep corner on excellent turf, then a pull through a burly undercut wall. Back off to play in the snow in the morning...
