Title: [Scotland][Torridon - Ship Boulder] Squelch-Malcs Link 7a+
Post by: richieb on March 16, 2012, 07:53:24 pm
One from a couple of weeks ago, crosses the steepness between squelch and malcs and does feature a (short) bit of new climbing with some good moves.
May well have been done before but worth knowing about in my opinion.

Nice Rich! Tried that link when we were up last year getting spanked on Malc's, couldn't do the top move on Malc's arete via either link....made it look piss there.

How are conditions up there at present?

Cheers, its probably fair to say I've got that move wired! 

Usual mixture in the last few weeks, with the odd mint day here and there.
Its been warm though, feels like routes season. I dont think its been all that wet out west so crags should come into nick quite quickly this spring I would have thought.

Nice Rich.

The wall between Malc's and the Mission must surely be like a red rag to all the top boulderers in the UK, just looks immaculate.

I assume this is only 7A+ when compared to the grade of Malc's - i.e. nowhere near 7A+ outside of Torridon!  Looks great, good effort.

Only 4 hours from the Burgh and some decent hostels nearby if it's still cold.

Nice one Richie. I like the start of the video. Malcsquelch next?
