Winter climbing in the Cairngorms - a great day with two great friends.

With my very good pal Andy Nisbet and  fellow Alpine Club  committee and SMC member Susan Jensen we nipped into the Cairngorms today and did a couple of climbs. We expected them to be harder so we carried in ropes and a climbing rack. We ended up soloing both of the unrecorded climbing routes. Winds were strong and it was relatively chilly. An ace day with good friends and great way of burning up the excessive calorific intake of our recent Christmas celebrations!

And again, Susan climbing.
