Training day on Ben Nevis (Friday)

Alan here- On Friday I Climbed a route called Number 3 Gully Butress on Ben Nevis with Davie, my old climbing partner. If you look closely at the photo in the very bottom, just right of center is a climber and directly above him is another. That is the start of the route. It was nice and icy low down but with winter not really getting going in Scotland, it became a rock climb at the top. Which was nice... well not really in crampons and ice axe!!

Last night was a fund raising/send off dinner at Chris and Fiona's. An excellent night with much wine consumed. So with a combination of the booze and a 9 hour day on Ben Nevis, I am knackered. Must be getting old or something...
