Another quick Glen Nevis hit




A mundane opticians appointment this afternoon left time for a quick route at Polldubh this morning. We went to After Crag, one of the less commonly climbed on crags just above the more populat Dundee Buttress. I jumped on to Kraut (E1) a steep strenuous route with good gear..... if you are strong enough to hold on and place it. I climbed up to the gear, back down to a rest and then pushed on to the top. Rich wanted the same experience so I abseiled for my gear and then he flashed it too. We just had time to brush our way our way up the dirty but worthwhile Afterthought (HS) before we left. The only downside was the first few midge bites of the year :-(
