Yeah as mentioned by Ben the holds are pretty sketchy so you have to trust your feet

Fun well protected adventure climb. Didn't feel like a 15 most of the time. Pretty much entirely protected by carrots. A few small-medium cam and nut placements are available which reduce the run-outs.

Ben Nevis Firetower boulders Leccy Cove boulder | |||||||
V4 | FA ★★ Irn-Bru - with Jess | 3m | |||||
Probably my most favourite climbs I've found. Started off as an okay climb, but the large flake at bottom-right that has a good footer came off with a bit of jiggling, and drastically improved the climbing. Quite consistently and varied challenge. Rock quality is excellent, fall is initially unnerving but can be padded really well despite the limited space. Reasonably confident the grade is V4ish

V3 | FA ★★ Traditional Glaswegian Bar Fight - with Jess | 4m | |||||
Dyno-hand-jam and fun footwork at start, and what looked fairly easy top-half turned out to have almost zero good holds, only some feint jams and frogging-compression on the arete as feet. Not 100% sure the grade is V3, but felt about that and very much didn't want to re-do the top section to verify
|
|||||||
V1 | FA ★ ASDA Chicken Wings - with Jess | 4m | |||||
Lower part might be easier facing the other way, but would probably make the top-half sketchy. Not sure about grade, but felt about V1'ish, but potentially V0?
|
|||||||
V0 | FA ★★ Nae Driech - with Jess | 3m | |||||
Good climb. Felt V1 being pedantic about avoiding dabbing on rock behind - probably easier if you don't care about this. The rock quality on this block isn't as good as the others - has some crumbly features intermixed with solid ones, and they can be a bit hard to differentiate - would clean up to be good, but unlikely to ever get enough traffic.
|
|||||||
V1 | FA ★ Wee Bit Driech - with Jess | 4m | |||||
Much nicer movement than Nae Driech, particularly in the transition, plus a nicer top-out. However, while the holds used all seem reasonably solid, so did the other ones that broke of with some light brushing. Fall is good providing you can pad the gap between this face and the boulder at the bottom (a Mad Rock R3 squishes perfectly in providing a good flat landing)

Bit run out. Awesome afternoon sun for a winter climb. Need to be careful to look for bolt runners.

Can be very runout. However the runouts are above good bolts.
