An absolutely glorious day out on Beinn Alligin to finish off 2015 in spectacular style. Days like this remind you why ignoring MWIS and getting up at 6:30am to climb in Scotland is so worthwhile.
Winter had clearly not arrived in north west Scotland yet, but even so, Owen, Clay and I made a somewhat speculative hike up into Coire Mhic Fherchair. With the wrong mixture of wet rock and soft snow we abandoned climbing and topped out onto the col into a monstrous wind roaring across the mountains.
My first sport climbing in about 5 years and a chance for some sunny rock routes before winter began! Mark and I flew to Malaga and hired a car (for £11!) to spend four days climbing at Frontalas, Turon, Valle de Abdalajis and El Torcal de Antequera. There was only one small injury, which slowed the pace a little towards the end of the trip.
