Today I went to Meall Nan Tarmachan (Creag An Lochain) with Adam Hughes from EICA Ratho. Adam was looking after us on our winter climbing course. We climbed Arrow Chimney IV on Arrow Buttress. The climb was mainly turfy (some overhanging...no kidding) with some short well formed ice pitches. The climb was 150m which we did in three pitches, the first requiring 60m of rope with about 3 runners placed. Warthogs were the order of the day...
After the route we set up a top-rope on a short ice fall and looked at footwork and axe placements before finishing up with a grueling walk out.......10 minutes
