In reply to tehmarks:
From Stirling, headed with a friend to do Square Face. Left at the crack of dawn, cycled up to the bottom of the footpath to the Sneck, walked up to the Sneck, down to the route...and couldn't be bothered. We climbed it, but I just seconded the whole day, had no physch for it. I did enjoy it on a second, but couldn't be bothered with a lead and was happy to go home at the end of the day.
Other unproductive one was weather related. Managed to keep a week free last summer (a rare occurrence), and my husband and I decided we would head up and stay with some friends who had recently moved to Assynt, get a week of big mountaineering and climbing done. So we did the 5 hour drive up....and hurricane Bertha hit! When the roads had cleared enough, we started making our way back down the country, catching up with friends and trying to chase hopeful forecasts. We got one day of climbing that week....in Northumberland!!! It was a great day, I loved it, but it was a long way from where we had started the week!
