It sounds like you have had a lot of fun up there Mr Paulie.
>just after you've done it several times the novelty wears slightly thin
After reading your posts on this lovely site about climbing in Scotland and ice climbing elsewhere, I am surprised that you are letting the fun element get away from you now.
Derek my M10 love reckons the young'uns never seem to last, as they sooner or later go soft and look for the easier options.
I entreat you to stay hard Mr Paulie! Your climbing career will be more prolific for it!!
