Personally speaking this year's rock climbing has been a washout for lots of reasons.
However, having had 2 days on the East - avoiding the rain and the midgies I can safety say that I had forgotten how good it is, to wobble one's way up a route or two.
Big thumbs up to the Cairngorm Club who seem to be doing something about the erosion at Ballater.
Thankfully, I am a climber once again :)
