Get in. They certainly got the pick of the spring weather for it. Great weekend.

I don't think I have ever been as cold as the first day we tried to work it, had a little Toni Kurz moment on the ropes getting down to it...

Edited a little vid from the stuff I had on my camera. JB was there and will have some nice stills but knowing the likes of the ukb massive I put this together featuring nearly no actual climbing but lots of driving to the crag, walking to the crag, sitting on ledges etc very like the route actually.

This is great - the ascent and the film. There is not enough guano in climbing videos. I loved The Vice section, a brilliant simple idea.

How did the others get on on the Arran/Turnbull route?

Got quite a long way up it but it got dark/hard before they could finish it. Traversed in to the gully and got back at 3am. Think caff mentioned it on his blog.

There was surf every day at Rackwick, though it was cleanest at its smallest. George went in a couple of times, and some heroes turned up on the last evening:
