Last week I had the pleasure of being a host on the international winter meet which was a great week.
We had the full spectrum of Scottish weather and conditions which resulted in a display of the full spectrum of climbing styles that Scotland has to offer. Winter climbing, bouldering, sea cliffs and trad climbing all in one week. However the highlight, as is always the case with these things, was spending time in the evening catching up with old friends, making new ones, hearing about what everyone has been up to that day and learning about climbing in all corners of the world. Big thanks to the SMC for the use of their huts for this.
I was super lucky to partnered up with from Canada who, as well as being an excellent climber, was a lot of fun to spend time with and I’m really looking forward to being shown around the Canadian Rockies some day!
The winter routes that we did climb were Apache and Cornucopia on Ben Nevis which were both excellent and I can highly recommend.
Thanks everyone for making it a special week!
