Over the past few weeks we've been getting out a lot with our 'winterised' campervans to make the most of the amazing winter climbing conditions. Our campervans have been spending a lot of time over in Glencoe, where we've been exploring a couple of new climbing venues. Using the campervans as a base, Malcolm Bass and I (along with a variety of friends) have been busy exploring the beautiful Coire Eilde in Glencoe. We did three great new lines on the Summit Buttress of Sron na Lairig, and also managed to develop a brand new climbing venue which is unlike anything I've ever climbed on in Scotland. It's an almost hidden canyon which has at least 16 compelling ice lines dropping into it, right at the base of Coire Eilde. 'Eilde Canyon' as it's now called is an excellent ice venue, with some good steep lines still to do....The campervans have proved invaluable as a cosy base to come back to after a great day on the hill, and the folk at The Clachaig Inn have been great in letting us use their carpark to park up overnight - as long as we make sure we sup a couple of their excellent pints that its!We've added a few inspiring photos on this blog, plus you can see more piccies, and download mini-guide to Eilde Canyon on the Home Page of the Big Tree Campervans website.
