Stob Coire nan Lochan..

Dave Barker, Dave Hormigo and I visited Stob Coire nan Lochan today.

The crag remains in good condition with the traditional gullies of SC, NC and Twisting in good nick. Despite this it was fairly quiet with the exception of parties on Twisting Gully and Dorsal Arete.

We climbed 'Twisting Gully Right Fork' IV,5 combined with 'Moonshadow' IV,5 Together this gives an interesting way up the cliff with some steep neve, turf and mixed climbing at an amenable grade.

Over on Ben Nevis, 'Point Five', 'Orion Direct' and 'Minus Three Gully' have all seen ascents. Yesterday Steve Ashworth and Viv Scott were trying to climb all the routes from the Smith/Marshall week in a day...
