10th September Savage Slit (VD ****)
Finally we were rewarded for our weeks climbing in the wet with a beautiful day in the Cairngorms. Another early rise and 2 hour walk got us to the climb at about 10.30. We met some really friendly reindeer on the way too.
We scrambled to the base of the climb up a gully and had to rope up to complete the last section. We split savage slit into two pitches of which I led the first (35 m) and Chris the second (40 m).
The climbing was fantastic....very cold and windy until we reached the first belay where the weather just got better. A true classic well worth four stars.
A great end to a great week of climbing.
