Hi,

I remember reading a feature on climbing in the Cairngorms in Climber magazine in an edition from last year. It must have been from about July-November 2005. Can anyone confirm which edition this was specifically please?

Thanks in advance,

A

In reply to Imogen:

That actually sounds perfect as I can remember it being when I did my first trad leads on my own rack last year in October.

Thanks,

I will see if I can get a copy from the Climber mag website.

I've just looked at my copy - it was October 2005 'Cairngorm Rock'.

In case you can't get a back issue, let me know if you'd like a photocopy.

Much appreciated mate I will do.

I have mailed them at Climber magazine but they seem to only offer the past 2/3 editions so I may well take you up on your kind offer.

Cheers,

Andy

Hey John,

I have had a reply from Clumber Mag. They do not have that edition in stock. Do you have a scanner? If you could scan the Cairngorms article and e-mail me it that would be greatly apprecited. If you can photocopy it then I will mail you with a fax number if you have access to a fax machine?

Thanks again,

Andy
In reply to johnpaulshirreffs:

A massive thanks John-Paul.

The colour photocopy of both articles came in the post today.

Absolutely excellent features and pictures.

I am eager to return the favour so give me a shout if there is anything I can do in return.

Cheers,

Andy

Have you seen this month's Climber - there is another article on Cairngorm Rock - Talisman and Grey Slab, plus bit on the other routes on the crags?

In reply to Chris Craggs:

No I haven't.

Cheers for that I will pick up a copy.

In reply to Chris Craggs: Bugger, We were planning on Talisman tomorrow. Hope it doesn't encourage the hoardes to descend.

I suspect the awful approach will deter most.

The approach is a piece of p*ss if you use bikes. Here's a recent thread on accessing the Northern Cairngorms by bike:

Talisman is a great route, easy for the grade and over all-to-soon! I can also highly recommend doing some routes on Carn Etchachan which is about 45 minutes walk fom the Hutch and will get you away from the "crowds".

Shhh. No, the approach is awful. There's the mantraps, the swamp and the landmines. Please delete your thread post

You forgot the monsters and the creepy-crawlies lurking at every corner.
In reply to John Mulhern:

A totally massive thanks for sending the original copy of the magazine up to me John. It came through the door this morning.

If you're ever in the area then drop me an e-mail and I will buy you the drink/drinks I owe you.

Cheers,

Andy
