11hrs of whiteout, -17°C windchill and a horrific night. Classic Scottish mountaineering rocks my socks off.

I made it out to Scotland earlier in the year, but didn't have my gear or the time to get any climbing done (other than a jaunt up Arthur's Seat).
I would LOVE to come back in the winter and climb like a real Scot!
I have an oddly high tolerance for misery.

I like the cut of your jib sir. If you are ever back in Scotland, drop us a line and then we can push our boundaries of misery tolerance.

I got cold just looking at that picture! Where was it taken?

This was taken the day after our epic "jaunt" in the Lairig Ghru in the Cairngorms. Horrific trip but great fun!

Any day out in the Cairngorms is generally an epic!
Mate of mine managed to get a ride in the big yellow taxi a couple of years back getting lost somewhere near Ben Macdui in a white out, he's never lived it down.
Was there in June after doing the LAMM and there was still snow about on the tops. When was this pic taken? From the look of UKC there's snow arriving at the mo.
Aye there defo is a lot of snow at the moment but nothing is really in nick without a good blast of frozen turf - although, some have already been DT their way up routes according to UKC. caresses his Bulldog and Tricams
'Mon the winter!
Btw, The pic was prob taken just north of the Pools of Dee.
