Broad Buttress on Buachaille Etive Mor - 26th September 2010

Ciaran & Jeanie high up on Broad Buttress.

Ciaran getting closer to the top. Scrambling is easier now but still lovely rock.

Stuart & Jeanie at the top of Broad Buttress. Behing is the top of Great Gully which was very frosty and frozen in places. We linked up with North Buttress via a ledge visible behind us leading from Great Gully. This proved very interesting with verglassed rocks in places, had to be very carefull.

 On the summit of the Buachaille. Found a new pal who's only interest in me was some tasty food morsels!

Reiff - 4th/6th September 2010

Stuart about to rappel down to Black Gold at the Black Rocks area.

Stuart climbing Black Gold, a lovely slabby route. Great friction and well protected.

Jeanie climbing Monster Breaker at the Bouldering Cliff area.

Fishing at Reiff. Caught 4 Coalfish for dinner.

Cooking the fish over a driftwood fire. The fish were tasty. We found plenty of driftwood along the shoreline.

Jeanie climbing Slip Jig on Minch Wall, a hard finish on this one.

Stuart on Judicial Hanging, a very hard start on this route.

Jeanie on Polka, Minch Wall. A pleasant route for the grade.

Stuart on Jim Nastic, recommend this route to folk you don't like - it's evil!

Our camping spot close to the Reiff climbing. A very windy day!

A lovely Pollack from the Bay of Pigs area at Reiff. Took the lure at the top right of picture. It had quite a few other fish in it's stomach, a top predator of the fish world.

Nearly there - midges & flying ants were a problem.
