Rachel and Pete on King Bee |
Pete and I on Inbred |
We had to escape Skye to find dry rock
today. We had to escape the West coast. We were greeted with
sunshine and a stiff breeze as Rachel, Pete and I pulled up at Creag
Dubh. We headed to Lower Central Wall and warmed up on Mirador
(Severe) which gave some nice climbing and worth doing if climbing at
the grade. Next on the agenda was the 3 star classic on Great Wall,
King Bee (VS). I led up feeding Rachel's rope though the original
line and made sure Pete's went through the variation start at HVS 5a
to give him a bit of a work out. After topping out, we abseiled down
and Pete and I climbed the classic Inbred (HVS 5a) in two pitches.
An essential route for anyone who climbs at Creag Dubh. After
another abseil we all went back to Lower Central Wall and all climbed
the 'interestingly' named Phellatio (HVS 5a) which was another great
route but quite a serious finale. A fabulous day and great to be
back in the su
