Nick couldn't follow the 4b crux of the proper line, so I abseiled down, top roped the first part of the pitch and set up a stance just above the crux to talk the others through it. | ||||

| The Talisman | 330ft | HS (-,4a,-) | alt lead: SL | |
| An superb day out - a seven mile walk in (and walk out) through the Cairngorms, a 20m snow pitch to reach the base of the climb, and an excellent route. | ||||

| Bottle Buttress | 260ft | VD (-,-,-,-) | alt lead: PS | |

| Central Climb | 36m | HS (4a,-,-,-) | alt lead: PS, second: DG | |
| The first pitch was a desperate thrutchfest, that finally yielded on the second attempt - which would probably have been smoother (although less of a spectator sport) if I'd had some larger gear with me (and wouldn't have required me to experiment with stacked hexes). | ||||
