Curse of the Hobgoblin V,7. 4th March
04/03/12
A quick overnight freeze was enough to bring Thearlaich, my current favourite venue, straight back into good condition and another great new route as a result. The 50m line is obvious & immediately right of Gully E.
I led the first 30m and Andy took over the final (and crux) 20m. Blocks were thankfully well frozen in and the ice smears were pretty crucial in the crux where the cracks ran out.
Wee bitty tired so just a few shots for now.
Clouds parting to reveal the white stuff; ye ha!
Looking down the first pitch…..
….and zoomed in
Andy geared up & ready to go….
Mid-crux…
Good gear
High step on good hooks
