Description

2nd Winter Ascent of Groovin High.
Jack morris and Rob Giddy gave this 3 pitch route a brilliant fight, Jack leading the long 40m crux.
We all spoke to Jamie skelton and Tim Miller and all agreed the route is VIII:8 not VII:8 as previously suggested by jamie and tim when they did the first ascent.

Area : Northern Highlands South (winter)

Extending from Torridon in the north to Knoydart in the south, and including Glen Shiel, Glen Carron and Applecross, Northern Highlands South includes many brilliant winter climbs of all grades and styles. The quartzite cliffs of Beinn Eighe and the corries of Bheinn Bhan have become forcing grounds for modern mixed climbing, while Liathach nearby offers many fine, steep, traditional ice climbs. New winter climbing possibilities are being discovered on the mountains throughout this area on an annual basis.
