Well, what a start to the year, not one, but two Club trips to Scotland before the start of March!!!

The first group to 'ice their axes' this winter were Natalie, Theresa, Lee, Simon & Chris at New Year, in the area around Ben Nevis.

Then in late February, Clive, Chris, Martin, Rick, Phil & Steve headed to Glencoe. They managed a couple of ascents of Dinnertime Buttress (graded II*) on Aonach Dubh West, a traverse of Sgor Bhan - up by Schoolhouse Ridge (graded II) and down by the North Ridge - in very mixed weather, and walking ascents of Sgor na Ciche (the Pap of Glencoe) and Garbh Bheinn.

There was even some indoor practice at Ice Factor.
