These 3 falls have been in condition since about the 18th of December 2009, they thawed & collapsed at the weekend. Think this is proof positive that it has been a pretty special Winter! :-) HURRA for global warming. :-) |

It might have been Queens MC! Old brain is gettin addled! THink we should organise the winter climbs into 4 areas, Derryveagh, Highlands, Bluestacks and Elsewhere. 4 headings, and all the individual crags go under these. What do you think? |

Elsewhere is too broad an area. It may create location problems later, particularly if we ever have this type of weather again. Each hill/location has a name - that should suffice and be referred to when reporting climbs. |

NUUMC had a hut at Doochary, in the late sixties/early seventies I think ( until the club was decimated in a minibus accident on icy roads) and I read that they did some winter routes in this area. No idea where I saw it, but I'll see what I can find out. |
