Scotland Holiday
Tuesday 2nd July 2019
The weather today was going to remain dry so we decided to give climbing another go. We went back to Polldubh Crags in Glen Nevis where we had been rained off the other day.
We drove out to find that there were already a lot of climbers out there so it was a bit more difficult finding somewhere appropriate to leave the car. Once parked we set off up the path for a route called The Gutter on Pine Wall Crag. A great 3 pitch 65m route that was a great start to the day.
After finding our way down back to our stuff we decided to find a couple of rocks to sit on to have our lunch before another climb. Once we were ready to climb again we had 2 options for where to go next. Unfortunately the one nearest to us had some climbers on so we decided to head to the other crag Little Buttress. It took us a little while to identify where the climb went but when we had we kitted up and got going. The route was 55m in 2 pitches called Spike Wall. It was a nice climb but a little lacking in places for gear in a few sections.
Back at the bottom we packed up and headed back to the car as were were going out ringing in the evening.
On the way back to the apartment we called by Morrisons for a couple of pizzas for dinner, then a quick shower and eat before we had to go out again. We went to the ringing practice at the Tulloch ringing centre. There were 8 ringers there and we are joining a couple of them at someones house to ring handbells on Thursday.
