comprehensive- as in all the areas and all problems in the Strath?
Farr Side Facet OOOOOOOW controversial, i don't know anyone who enjoyed climbing That, do you?
Following the geology, I like. Have your wanderings ever carried you up around Meall na Fuar-ghlaic? I've sometimes looked at that from a distance but the approach looks like a total arse. If that's the next frontier of the Strathnairn mission you don't have to answer.Quote from: scragrock on June 07, 2023, 10:31:42 amFarr Side Facet OOOOOOOW controversial, i don't know anyone who enjoyed climbing That, do you?Each to their own, but I'd rather have a fling at that once every few years than ever touch Barry Manilow again!
My Strathnairn knowledge is out of date nowadays, but the stand out classics for me back when it used to be my local stomping ground were:Lebowski at Ruthven, Brin Done Before and The Scientist at Brin and Right Arete at Farr.
Benj and Robbie walked most of the hill last year and like you thought it was a loooooong walk in for not worth it blocs unfortunatelty
Barry Span is Marmite... (that said, I'm kind of ambivalent about Marmite, so it's not a perfect analogy...)I suspect enough people love it that it's worth going in, I just didn't like it much
>7ALebowskis, Barry Span Commander, The Scientist, FSF, Susurrus.Bonus mention: Wooden Nickles is very good and could be overlooked.<7AForest Mechanics, The Dude, Brin Done Before, People That's Why, Right Arete SS.Bonus mention: Eriophorum angustifolium for sure, but not done it.
Why the downer on Farrside Facet Rob? One of the original harder classics of Strathnairn? I've not really tried it but it's certainly one I'd travel to try when time/life allows.

Had a few folk saying that they were glad to get it done as it wasnt comfortable climbing{skin, injury etc}
