Home to the cold

I'm back from a family bolt clipping trip from Mallorca. After the first day the weather was warm and sunny and although the crags were very busy we had a great time at the crags and on the beach. Being a die hard trad climber at heart I had to go to Sa Gubia to climb Albahida, a fine soaring ridge line in the hills.
Whilst I've been away of course the early winter scratching has begun with ascents of the Message and Savage Slit amongst others in the Cairngorms and Babylon on Ben Nevis. although the Ben still has a dusting on top this morning it will be warmer later this week I'm away for a bit of CPD.
