Sport climbing at Am Fasgadh

Although the forecast showed a large band of rain moving north across much of Scotland when Gaz and I got to Am Fasgadh we were pleasantly surprised at how dry it was. Not even any drips.

Gaz got on his project: Primo (7b+ to the first lower off) and got re-familiarised with it after not being on it since last winter. I got on Warm Up (7b and not really a warm up!) which I got onto for the first time last month. This time around I did fare better but when I got to the chain on my 3rd RP I didn't have the strength to take a hand off to clip it! Och well, hopefully next time.

The Thrillseekers Adventure Film Festival

The Adventure Film Festival takes a collection of adventure films to more than 30 cinemas across the UK each October, showcasing this year�s best adventure content on the big screen � check out the trailer here.

I've been given two tickets to give away to you! If you can be the first to email me with the correct answer to this question: "What is the name of the peak that Leo Houlding and his team made a first ascent of in The Last Great Climb?" Good luck.
