Out in Glen Clova today on a Falkirk Community Trust Outdoors Classic Climb Day with Linda and Andrew. We’d headed there to avoid wet weather further West and this worked well with generally hot sunny conditions and only the odd drop of very light rain, which didn’t impact on the climbing.
We climbed Three J’s Chimney, Parapet Route Direct Start, Flake Route, Central Crack and finished with the “tremendous route with exhilarating positions” that is Proud Corner. Over 500ft of climbing and a total of nine stars across the routes making for a pretty classic day in a beautiful setting. The crags were relatively busy, being a good choice given conditions, but the atmosphere was very pleasant with teams chatting and working around each other very well.
