Sorry you were unable to stay for last nights BBQ.  The grub was good and laughs weren't in short supply.

There should be a trip report and photos to follow shortly from Red Leader.

Any sunburn?  My head and face got a bit of a roasting.  I never seem to learn.

No sunburn thank god. Dunno about what I want to hear. Just want the day to go faster. I was thinking if the was a book for scramberling for ireland or ni but no luck so was thinking about making my own but scrambles are few and far between in our land.

Good point Lenny. I'm mad up for scrambles as it seems like the best way to practice for the Alps but there's nothing really classic or route-like that I know of. Certainly there'd be a few in the Reeks but they're even farther than Scotland. Anything scrambly in the Mournes is just a short novetly - even if you solo'd the easier rock routes it's just not the same. Saying that - if you could detective and eek out any potential hidden around it would be a great guide because I think a lot of people would be up for it, but just don't know if there's anything to do.

I thoroughly recommend Cicerone's 'Hillwalkers guide to mountaineering' which does cover the tools of the trade very well and has a super set of guides to 10 classic British scrambles at the back. They are proper testing ones (S2, S3+) ordered in a kind of progressive 'scramble academy' that you can work up: something I aim to do when I free up time a bit.

We have two ears and one mouth, so we should listen twice as much as we speak.

Although this is a forum, so...

We have two eyes and one mouth, so we should read twice as much as we speak.

Hang on, that still doesn't work...

We have two eyes and two hands, so we should read twice as much as we type.

This isn't working very well :D

If you want scrambling then check out Howling Ridge on Carrauntoohill. Its a grade III scramble with a bit of VDiff climbing as well. Looks incredible. Hoping to do get a crack at it sometime soon
