Swedes and Gaels has lots of loose rock, myself and Freja pulled a lot of loose stuff down today, and a few of the good holds in the process... There's probably still more loose rock on this so take care.

Me again, 'Swedes & Gaels' follows the dyke-line which forms the end of the wall. The arete line, when climbed on the face, is taken by 'Inflatables'(HVS 4c)
