I think I am a drug addict and my drug is the Scottish Winter! I can’t sleep, I can’t eat, I can’t live without snowy rolling hills and magical mountains in the Cairngorms and Highlands. Only a week ago I was at the YHA waiting for the weather to change so I could start climbing. I had an amazing time and now it looks like I am going back to finish off some routes near Ben Nevis. Happy Days :-D

In reply to Kat4kgb: Careful what with the gear ,fuel prices and accommodation having a smack habit might be cheaper!

In reply to Kat4kgb: When I started my first winter season this year, i thought i'd hate it. But i don't, i love it.

Its a pretty unique form of climbing and its probably my favourite out of the lot.

Its an expensive business if you live down south though.

nah, it takes 30 years but you eventually realise that sun baked rock climbing is much more enjoyable!

You're hooked when you end up with a picture like this for 15 minutes on the laptop screen and you haven't touched the coffee by your side or finished the hobknob......
