And nothing says summer like some sunny slabby rock climbing above a loch in Glen Etive. It has been a glorious dry sunny month. Haven't really made the most of it, but have recently had a few days up in Glen Coe doing some fine rock climbing. First The Big Top (E1 ***5a) on the west face of Aonach Dubh with Sam Loveday, then Swastika (E2 *** 6a) on the Etive Slabs (above) and Yo-Yo (E1 **** 5b) on the north face of Aonach Dubh with Viv and Rik. My gosh that's a lot of stars. More pics.

Summer is here!
Ok, well it's been summer for a while. Ever since I hung up my ice axes after my last winter climbing route in fact. But I didn't have the right picture to illustrate the fact to all of you who just skim read and look at the pictures.

Sounds like you are cranking out some hard climbs. Nice pics too, thought you were overseas again as it was so sunny in the pics.
