SC Gully

Ben on his way up pitch 1

I met Ben at the Jagged Globe Scottish base, and he wanted to climb something about grade 3, but also learn about rope management, the technical side of climbing, and if possible how to retreat off a climb - so off to Stob Coire Nan Lochan we went. We found SC Gully in reasonable condition, and not too busy, so we jumped on it and spent the day playing with ropes, belays, and finally multiple stacked abseils. A great day considering the weather forecast wasn't too inspiring.
