The Bunnet Stane

Wooden Nickles, about 7B

Thanks to Jamie for these pics

These pics were taken on a really warm day at duntelchaig last week.

Since then I've been to Ruthven and repeated the Dude direct which is maybe 7B+ for taller people. Also linked "Mike's problem" from the same sit start as the big lobowski, which is worthwhile to do because it's quite a hard link to make but probably still 7a+ I think? Decided that it deserves a proper name, White Russian. If you've not seen the film The big Lobowski, then rent it from Blockbuster. It should provide entertainment as well as insight to some of the problem names... After that I tried to repeat every other problem at ruthven in the rest of the session. I was thwarted by Ged's Traverse/Crystal Maze whatever it's called and also by not knowing where Pinch Punch goes (didn't have guide). Doing this was a fun challenge for me as I had to get really psyched to do problems first go even if they were hard, or I couldn't remember them, or both. It was pretty dark before I gave up on Ged's Traverse and the midge were being a pain.

I was upset to see that the flake on the underside of the ruthven project is really creaky now and a jammed block has fallen out has the flake flexs. This leaves a good incut but I'm too scared to pull on incase it falls off. Not too sure what to do about it really.
