Raeburn's Route - In The Wind

Raeburn's Route from NC
 Abacus Mountain Guides - Winter Climbing

This morning I met up with Dale and Lewis and we made a plan to go climbing - what else! They've just got to Scotland for a few days of climbing and they wanted to start it with a refresher on about III/IV. They like the full on Scottish experience so they are also camping - last night they slept in their down jackets! We went to the SCNL car park which was full - so we may not make our plan A climb - Twisting Gully. Eventually we got up to T Gully and found 3 teams on it - 1 climbing and 2 waiting! So we moved onto SC Gully - here 1 team had just started and 1 waiting (and 1 arriving behind us), so we moved on. We found Raeburn's from the NC start free of people - brilliant. There were 2 teams on Central Grooves, making good progress. However it was a bit windy, but the route was in amazing condition - the neve was hero and the rime ice was everywhere - what else can you ask for... More days of the same.
