Although I suspect very few of you give a tiny rat's ass, here is an update of developments up here.

Farr boulder looks nice. Clear more trees I say.

I can't see it and I do give a tiny rat's ass. 

Work is telling me it's either pr0n or a social networking site 

[SA Chris]

They might regard blogs as social network, you will have to wait til you get home?

[magpie]

Yeah, I think that's what it is.  I'll try and remember to look next time my every move is not being watched

Nice one, some good stuff there.  I drove past Glen Ogle a couple of weeks ago.  Loads of boulders, and seems under-developed.

[SA Chris]

It gets a mention in the new guide? But yes, in the grand scheme of things it is pretty undeveloped.

[GCW]

It gets a mention in the new guide?

Yeah, it mentions 14 problems.  Although this is likely to be a small selection I bet there's lots to be had.

Chris,

The clearing of trees may prove crucial in bouldering development in scotland! I emailed Forestry commission for a felling timetable but they said it would be a couple of weeks work so nevermind. They asked if it was just a uni project, i thought i'd just say yeh rather than say I'm looking for a boulder...

The Jamie boulder is ok though that line featured is by far(r) the best problem on I'm afraid. More to do at Ruthven or Brin if it's winter.

[SA Chris]

Sounds good, and looks like worth checking out if passing. Made the mistake of going to Brin one and that was August, and a few years ago. Looks like the guys have done a good job of cleanign them up.

Indeed. Have meant to stop a few times, but usually more interested in getting home after a knackering weekend in FW or Glencoe. Long way from there to Aberdeen.

Cheers Chris, I really must check Dave's blog more often I sometimes forget he does more than hard trad/sport climbs.

Greg,

You have left out Luke Fairweather's prob at Portlethen from the Scottish list too;
