Yet another brilliant summer day and I was working for the Ice factor running a crag session at Glen Nevis with Jamie B (newly out of plaster after the Bowden Incident). We had 7 highly capable students and two teachers. Jamie worked South West Buttress whilst I made repeated ascents of the Gutter with two at a time. Lots of good climbing was had.
That morning I'd foreseen an absolute mauling by midge; a breezy north wind meaning that we'd be sheltered being tucked behind the south of Ben Nevis and fully at their mercy. It was indeed almost still but thanks to the ace Silver Birch clearing of the Polldubh Climbing Club there is much less shelter for midges and we were hardly bothered all morning!
The West coast is bone dry at the moment meaning excellent rock climbing conditions as well as everything else.
