The next generation of Lochaber climbers.


Quick crag session this afternoon on behalf of the Ice Factor. Isi and I took 7 kids from schools around Fort William up to Glen Nevis for some climbing on real rock. We did routes up to grade Severe and a nice abseil with everyone managing really well, which I'm not surprised about as many of their dads are members of Lochaber Mountain rescue Team.

As you can see from the photograph the Polldubh Club and associates have been clearing Silver Birch from the area which will open up the crags to wind and sun, thereby reducing midge infestation and crag over growth.
