Today I was out with Stephen, Kate and Dexter who were super keen for a day out in some pretty foul weather. The aim of the day was to brush up on Stephen and Kate's navigation whilst Dexter ran around in circles and got under our feet (yes, Dexter is a dog). As the forecast was for high winds and gusts up too 100mph we stayed low and headed up behind Fort William. From the view point we headed south east up on to point 287m revisiting the basics of navigation and developing strategies that will work in

Today didn't go quite as expected! Last night Tony and I decided to head over to the Cairngorms for a look over at the Shelterstone. On arrival it was clear that our both possibilities were in. It was either Sticial face or Citadel. We opted for The Citadel (VII,8). Everything was going well, we were moving quickly, the climbing was tricky and felt very bold as neither of us were able to find much gear. The route is very sustained but with two significant crux's. A lower crux and the top crux. Tony had got

Married couple, Daniel Woods and Courtney Sanders had a good time among the pebbles of Silvretta, Austria.
Daniel repeated Bernd Zangerl's Anam cara, suggesting 8B+ for the short problem and later also did Memento, another one signed Zangerl, which he felt was around 8B, but very difficult to grade.
Courtney wanted to share the glory and managed to do Niviuk for her first 8A. She has only been climbing for around 2 and a half years, so this is quite amazing.

Hey guys! A week ago I headed out to Salt Lake City to do a little bit of climbing. It was a little rainy and very hot, so I spent most of my time climbing in the gyms, which was actually really cool. However, I was still able to get a good day of outdoor climbing in [...]

The Grey Corries The other day after baby group I went for a wee run. With the Experience Tour trip to Norway just over a week away I am needed to sharpen up and shed a pound or two quickly after having put in a few weeks of training. So after a 12 hour fast Claire dropped me off in Glen Nevis and I headed up over Meall Cumhann, across the empty Coire Giubhsachan and up that savage slope of Aonach Beag (via a wee scope about the crags of course). I was still feeling bouncy of leg after that but as I headed

Posted By Steve Mc Clure the 2011-07-26 The first time I set eyes on Kjerag I knew I wanted to climb it. Perhaps the worlds most famous BASE jumping cliff, this 1000m vertical wall rising straight out from the sea was just asking to be climbed. In most cases dreams like this remain dreams, with logistics, finances and life in general standing firmly in the way, but this time I had my hand held. The Norwegians are such a friendly bunch, and on-it with their organising. As soon as I said I was keen all I

Today I was out with Matt and Rhyse and we headed up to Cyrn Las in Llanberis Pass. It has been dry for the last few days so we knew that it would be a good option. We climbed Lubyanka (E3 5c) which is a stunning route. We all got a 5c pitch and was a great route to climb in a 3. Many teams out on Main Wall (HS), in fact I counted 6 teams up there. After this we headed to Hidden Walls where I led up Rembrant Pussy Horse (E3 6a) and then Matt led up El Guide Direct (E3 5c). Rhyse had a shot on What a ...
