Back to work today and work I did! I
was out with the Technical climbers today Simon and Lloyd and with
the forecast for the week we grabbed our kit and shot off to get a
route in before things become extremely hostile. We went to
Liathach, another mountain I haven't visited and what a stunning
place. Loads of potential ice lines to climb in the super impressive
corries. We walked in to Coire Dubh Mor in the driving rain,
eventually it turned to driving snow and waded up to the base of
George (III,4). The whole route was a total wade fest, progress was
slow but the climbing was brilliant and there is a ace tunnel to
squeeze through. After topping out on the route we headed up to the
summit of Spidean a Choire Leith whilst getting blasted by the wind.
From here we headed east and made our way down the south side of
Liathach where I ran a few miles to get the car. A great 8 hour day
in very hostile conditions.
