Quarry near oban - Blink and you'd miss it

Desperate for some climbing we headed out to an old quarry that Colin had spied on the drive up to Oban. Lots of loose rock but some interesting looking lines. What better way to spend your birthday (Derek's) than seeking out an old abandoned quarry and creating our own routes.

We tackled the obvious corner and the slab (pictured). Great fun!
The corner was deceptively hard and was glad for Colin to lead again. As a 2nd it was great fun although the whole area is over grown and required some serious negotiation of the foliage (no thats not a euphemism ) before we could even start. I also got to try out my new descender that Colin and Pam had given me as a birthday prezzy. sound!
We set up an anchor off some trees at the top then abseiled down the slab with a view to top-roping. I enjoyed the slab probably most of all. Quite steep with lots of nice little crimpy features.
