| Crystal Ridge, IV 4***. III in my 90's guide. A great route in an alpine setting, deep in the heart of the Cairngorms. |

| Beinn an Eoin and Basobheinn from Ling, Lawson and Glovers route. |
 |
| Team LLG. A foray in the gully revealed 2 inches of graupel underlying 6 inches of slab. Pin wheeling snow and a high freezing level prompted a reversal. We easily accessed the ridge from a scoured aspect on the right and at a similar grade. |
 |
| Luke and Ed chilling on the massive pedestal above 'Jenga'. We moved together which was quick and sociable. A brilliant mountaineering route for their first winter climb and they cruised it. |
 |
| Greg emerging on the big pedestal stance. Lots of cool scrambling and awesome positions. |
 |
| Steve on the first pitch of Fight or Flight. A late start, and a long walk in the sun to reach Fuselage Gully. Two belay jackets, a pocket full of club bars and another immense stance on the Triple Buttress's. |
 |
| The climbing was great too and made a pleasant intoduction to the steeper mixed on Beinn Eighe. Steve put in a strong lead between awkward slabby roofs. It more than made up for the savage walk in! |
