Ben Nevis Mixed!

A very social day on the "Ben" today in the number three gully buttress area.

Hosts and international guests from the BMC International Meet were fully engaged on many of the hard routes: Dave Hollinger and partner on Babylon VII,8, Iain Small on Hobgoblin VI,7, and other parties on Gremlins VI,6, Thompsons Route IV,4, and No.3 Gully Buttress.

Andy Turner and the Petzl uber team were on Darth Vader VII,8 - not bad for their first route in Scotland. Dave Evans and I climbed the first two pitches of Babylon before finishing up Gargoyle wall, a good sustained combo at about VI,6..
