No Messing on the Pottage

James Thacker and I opted to head into Coire an t-Sneachda visiting the Mess of Pottage for a bit of a change we went for 'Droidless' VI,6 (pictured).

Two varied pitches gave some fantastic climbing with some "hero hooks" over a steep bulge. Well worth doing and there was plenty of other activity in the coires today.
Carl, Jon Jones and Mark Chadwick climbed 'Pot of Gold' V,6, while James Turnbull, Adam and Aiden climbed 'The Message' IV,6 and 'Hidden Chimney Direct' IV,5. Over the other side of the corrie Di Gilbert and Rich Bentley did a 'Stirling Bomber/Houdini' combo at around V/VI,7. Finally, Keith Ball and Matt Stygall pulled 'Sticil Face' V,6 out of the bag on The Shelterstone (thanks to James for info).

Here you will find reports of what we have been up to and the current
weather conditions from where we have been.
