My friends Amy and Will headed up to join me in Scotland this weekend with the intention of going winter climbing, with the rare combination of good conditions and a reasonable weather forecast we hoped to tick a **** classic route.
Saturday morning dawned bright, clear, and cold. Plus it had snowed a lot up high on Thursday and Friday. This was the weather I had been hoping for for some time to get out and climb Bowfell Buttress in winter-nick.
