High Neb Evening Meet

Mick and Nidal were already in action when Jago and I arrived at the crag with Nidal leading Twisting Crack a two star severe.
I began by leading Tango Buttress (HS 5a) another two star route with a 5a bouldering start.

Meanwhile Mick led Innaccessible Crack (VS 4c) after which Nidal led Kellys Variation (S 4a) which leads to the finish of Norse Corner from round the side.

After a two day journey to the far north Jago called on all his Alaskan experience to ride out a days storm in his tent until he was able to set out on Ben Klibreck. The cold wet conditions continued during the ascent but later that day he also did Ben Hope.
He then headed south to climb Ben More Assynt and Conival under similar conditions.
The next week Chrstine and Nick had much better conditions on their Scottish odyssey where they began with an ascent of Ben Cruachan.
