In reply to Jack Geldard - Assistant Editor:

Nice wee write up - good to see the variety that's on offer.

In reply to Stuart S:

Yes, it will help me go to different bouldering venues.

In reply to Norrie Muir:

I look forward to hearing your thoughts on them once you've been.

In reply to Stuart S:

I went to Craigmaddie this year for the first time and enjoyed the climbing.

In reply to Norrie Muir:

Looks like a nice spot from the photo in the article. Is it to the south of Glasgow?

You need to watch the tides if you're ever tempted to visit Clashfaquhar - a friend was telling me he had to wade out of there last weekend, which he described as bracing.

In reply to Stuart S:
Yes, it is north of Glasgow, not that far from my home. It was last year, 2007, not this year I went to it.

In reply to Norrie Muir: I live pretty near that area too. Where about are the boulders exactly. Would be good to go somewhere different without the drive.

why do si o´connor´s route out on the isles never get included in scotlands hardest lists?
