If the wind chill was anything like the recent camp your brave men, my hands really hurt when I didn't have gloves on.
Not bad guys, do you have any photos of the actual climb itself or even a little video of the ascent? Did you use ropes or was it more like bouldering?
Looked like a great day from the pictures. Hard luck regarding your camera Oisin.
Anyone tried abseiling hen mountain before?
Cant really take photos on the rock face as your either climbing or belaying. Oisin took some short video not sure how it came out.

Start - the first prominent groove line is taken by Simplicity; Yak-Yak starts 3m to the left of this groove. Climb straight up the slabs to finish with a mantelshelf onto the top.

Anyone tried abseiling hen mountain before?oh yes, i've some video somewhere of us abseiling down it forwards, great fun, if a little scary :o i'll see if i can upload the vid
My camera fell and the lens crackeddisaster :( wee tip for the new camera, when climbing i put a sling over my head and under 1 arm, then put a small clip on it which i clip the camera to so if i drop it (which i often do) it doesn't hit the deck :) it also allows easy movement of the camera so i can put it safely away in my breast pocket.
