Stob Coire nan Lochan..

Dan and Allan joined me today for some mixed climbing in Glen Coe. As regular winter climbers they are confident on ice and climb at steady IV,5 but were keen to experience the next grade.

We decided to head into Coire nan Lochan despite the slightly warmer than forecast conditions, climbing 'Scabbard Chimney' V,6 and 'Twisting Grooves' IV,5.

The crag was in good icy condition with well frozen turf and there were plenty of other folk out and about. Tilt, Central Buttress, and Raeburn's Buttress among others were climbed today.
