A quick transition
Right after coming back from the North West Highlands I was out working with Steve. We had planned to climb early season but due to poor conditions we postponed until now. And we lucked out. 2 days of brilliant weather.
Day one we did some classics. Firstly we climbed Savage Slit (V,6), a route that has always called out but I never got round to climbing it. Usually because it has a queue on it. So it was great to finally climb it and guide it in one go. After a quick rap off we went and climbed Overseer Direct (V,6) to finish off a great day.
Our second day was after a wild day which brought plenty of snow so I decided we would abseil into Fiacaill Buttress. We abseiled into The Seam (IV,5), climbed this, then abseiled into Burning and Looting (V,6) which turned out to be a great climb. Topping out into the sunshine ws great and we bailed down off Fiacaill Ridge into the coire for a nice gentle walk out. A great couple of days.
