Liathach 18th Feb

Arrived in Kinlochewe 15 Min's to late last night! last bar meal serving was 8 pm
Only available food was at the very lavish and outrageously priced TORRIDON Me and scott didn't feel very comfortable sitting in this exclusive restaurant with are climbing togs and hoodies on. Cracking food mind.

Set of walking at 05:30 this morning. 3hrs later and we were the first team into the stunning Coireag Dubh Mor on Liathach.
Poacher's Fall V,5*** was our aim and what a route it is. 85 deg ice and steep unprotectable chimney made for exciting climbing. I found this by far the hardest grade 5 I've done, but loved every minute of it.
Standing on the top of Liathach with fantastic views was amazing.

We were back to the car for 17:30 then we drove to Fort William for Chips and Beer.

What a day.
