Post Direct, Creag Meaghaidh. This is 60 metres of steep grade V ice climbed
solo in the winter of '80/'81. Ropes must have been very expensive then. Sadly,
Donald who took the photo no longer climbs. Later that winter Donald was
involved in a rescue of 3 un-roped teenagers in Crowberry Gully, after their
friend fell to his death at his feet.

east over Lochan na h-Earba and Badenoch from the approach to Ardverikie
Wall Binnean Shuas. The peace was disturbed only by distant bellowing of stags
in the high corries of Badenoch and the ripples of fish rising in the Loch.

Lochan
na h-Earba from top of pitch 2, Ardverikie Wall.
Ardverikie
Wall, start of pitch 2, the steep rib to surmount the first overhang. It
started to rain here which gave us second thoughts as microschist is slippy rock in the
wet.
Ardverikie
wall, pitch 3, the curving crack. The dark overhang at the top of the crack
is bypassed on the right.
Ardverikie
wall, pitch 4. John is tall and moved right from the belay flake as in the
guides (red line). I found it easier to move straight up by standing on top of
the flake and using the crack (blue line).
Ardverikie
Wall, pitch 5. John went straight up, some guides suggest going up the left
side of the scoop.
