Harry Potter and the Masters of Etive Slabs 17.04.09





Venturing out from the miserable weather of the east coast we were delighted to find Glen Etive basking in sunshine complete with Harry Potter film crew (so please excuse the multitude of pictures!) Neil, Helena and I had an awesome day climbing The Pause which gave 6 amazing pitches of continually interesting climbing with the crux being a delicate smear-fest under the roof of pitch 3. Possibly one the of the best climbs in the country for its grade? After a quick bite for lunch we went up the shorter Vein Rouge which had three good pitches, the last being a great romp up a fairly unprotected vein which provided surreal climbing; or as Neil aptly described it "extreme walking."
