Adjacent Climbs
<< Omerta
 
Short Circuit >>
[Invernookie, 0 kb]120m, 5 pitches. An interesting and popular climb which takes a line of ramps on the wall above and right of Fiacaill Couloir. Loss of turf means there are some tricky moves (IV,5 under powder) but these become much easier with consolidated snow or a little ice. Start just right of Fiacaill Colouir. Slant right, then go back left to a short wall which leads to the ramps. Follow these to below an overhanging wall. The righthand corner leads into a chimney-cave from which a right traverse arrives at a groove and the ridge.

Amazing windless bluebird day. Route crazy busy, regretfully decided to overtake a very slow party of 3 so as to avoid a logjam at the crux. Snow sugary in places but generally solid.

I lead P1,4, Luke P2, Ed P3. Luke's first winter lead. P4 is excellent with good climbing and exposure and reasonable gear, though hard for grade III. I later heard this route used to be grade II, when lots of turfs were there...

lead pitch one and three. one was interesting if a little awkward, lacking in ice. pitch two was fairly cruising apart from two cruxy based pulls. Pitch three was very thin on ice, first Scottish mixed pitch ever, found it fairly challenging although well protected. finished in the dark. 3 *'s for sure.

Fun day out, a late start meant we topped out just before sunset. Clement's first winter climb.
Roberttaylor - Lead O/S - 12/Feb/11 with Clement Hutin and Lizzie Wasternage

Really easy and enjoyable climbing. Being leashless made the crux moves much easier. Banged the axes in up high and used a cheeky sidepull to basically free climb that move. Great big footholds as well. Quite powerdy, but there was plenty of good ice. Could have been on the Ben almost as there was lots of solid snow ice which made the route much easier.

Only led the first pitch, where I struggled to find any gear but eventually found something to belay from. Skelhon led the rest and struggled to find gear too. Great climbing, there was a few really cool bits. I probably should've been concentrating a bit more while seconding since a couple of times I ended up hanging from one axe with my feet dangling! Not a bad end to my first week of winter climbing, next time I think I'll have to get hold of some tech axes and really go for it!
matthewjames - AltLd O/S - 08/Jan/11 with Tom Skelhon, Matt Cooke

great route - bit icy in the cracks to gear wasn't the easiest to find or use! Did it in two pitches on 56m ropes.. including an axe belay :)

Backed of due to approaching 100mph winds, nasty walk back getting blown about took 3 hours instead of 1, great route will be back.

Favourite route in the Cairngorms to date. Also the best Scottish III I've done anywhere
Big Lee - AltLd O/S - 08/Jan/06 with Mike Reading

Fairly straighforward.
AndyP - AltLd O/S - 07/Jan/06 with Joe

Awesome. Also easily the hardest route I've done in winter. We reckoned quite a few tech 4 moves in thin conditions!
