Glen Nevis

SW Buttress - with SW Diagonal (HVS 5b*) across the middle

The weather turned out better than the forecast suggested, so we snatched a couple of hours of climbing in Glen Nevis at SW Buttress and Styx Buttress. I had a go at SW Diagonal, before the OB team turned up for an abseil. As the guide book suggested, there is a hard move at the beginning, but is well protected.

Styx Buttress with Damnation (VS 4c***)

Lena climbed Damnation which is excellent, clean climbing on good holds in an intimidating setting, through a roof - brilliant.


Hopefully the rain and midges will keep away...
