In reply to UKC News:
A truly superb effort and bit of writing, Ferdia's managed to capture the essence of the Glen perfectly in a few short paragraphs (which is no easy feat in itself). Stunning light, the noise of the wind rustling the trees, the shades of colour on the hillside, perfect rippled rock; a true jewel of Scottish climbing.
When it comes down to it, the routes don't really matter. It's the time we get to spend there with the people we care about and enjoying those precious moments is what we'll always remember.
I wonder when someone is going to write the book about the importance of Glen Nevis climbing in the 80's to the wider British climbing community?
