Steep caves are on the horizon.

Saturday 14th,15th. I had planned a visit to Griunard with Ian Moody this weekend but the weather put a dampener on affairs. Instead I decided to check out some new sport crags planning on equipping a couple of F7c’s ready for Sunday. Sadly things didn’t go as expected and I ran into loose wet rock and diagonal lines that were too difficult to equip. Without having placed a single bolt I called Iain with a change of plan before heading back to the B&B.

The next day I headed south to met up with Iain to check out some Inverness conglomerate. The crag actually turned out to be much better than I expected. It was good to see Iain climbing well again, as various things seemed to be bothering him earlier in the summer. I felt I was climbing crap I decided it was time to get training again and get stuck into some proper power endurance training for my projects.

It was nice to find some future projects to try, but I’ve decided to put them on hold for now and concentrate on the Burley Shadow routes. Its looking like my travel budget will be limited over the next few months pending referral of my speeding offence to the procurator fiscal. Don’t be fooled by those empty A9 roads on a Sunday night, the police radars are out there!
