Description

Self lined alongside more experienced leader in 3 pitches to the tree with a big abseil from there. Introduced in reach anchors which they used in their belay set up. Also introduced slings and how this is useful when block leading.
Perhaps need more progression for an experienced leader although I was keen to check that their performance matched their chat before throwing them in the deep end.

Area : Highland Outcrops: Glen Nevis and Poll Dubh

The Polldubh crags provide one of the most popular groups of outcrops in Scotland, with a range of excellent climbs suitable for climbers of all abilities. The cliffs on the other side of Glen Nevis and in the Steall Gorge are also included, as are all the other cliffs in the Glen Nevis section of the SMC HIghland Outcrops South guidebook. The sport climbs of Steall Hut Crag should be entered in the Sport climbing section of DLOG.
